Abstract

Having established itself as a heritage discourse, planetary gentrification is being studied in terms of how it operates in the Global South. This study focuses on the case of Abdali Amman, a significant mixed-use neighbourhood in Jordan that has experienced numerous mega-gentrification initiatives. According to Bourdieu’s theories of the state and dispositional practices, this study critically evaluates urban gentrification practices. In terms of gentrification governance, which takes place in two adjacent ‘state’ and ‘civic’ zones inside the Abdali district, this study analyses the interactions between transnational and state actors and the intragovernmental (state-municipality) governance system. Gentrification in Amman is connected to the revitalisation of historic sites, is a matter of urban governance, and operates from the transnational sphere along national and local lines. Furthermore, gentrification is caught in a desire/resistance paradox with calls for legitimacy and recognition. As a country in the Global South, Jordan has welcomed capitalist urbanisation. Gentrification is articulated within a flux between deterritorialisation/reterritorialisation, producing a form of ‘heritage gentrification’ in which history and national heritage are sacrificed through a process of satellite gentrification that is rooted in generative cultural transformation and governed by decentralised power structures. Introducing a Western blueprint of planetary gentrification through narrow gates into non-Western environments is a prevailing challenge.
约旦安曼 Abdali 的领土遗产城市化
地球绅士化已经成为一种遗产论述,人们正在研究它在全球南部是如何运作的。本研究以约旦安曼阿卜杜拉利为案例,这是约旦一个重要的多功能社区,经历了无数次大型绅士化活动。根据布迪厄的国家和处置实践理论,本研究对城市绅士化实践进行了批判性评估。就发生在阿卜达利区内两个相邻的 "国家 "和 "公民 "区的绅士化治理而言,本研究分析了跨国和国家行为者与政府内部(国家-市政当局)治理系统之间的互动。安曼的 "绅士化 "与历史遗址的振兴有关,是一个城市治理问题,从跨国领域沿着国家和地方路线运作。此外,"绅士化 "还陷入了欲望/抵制的悖论,要求获得合法性和认可。作为全球南部的一个国家,约旦欢迎资本主义城市化。绅士化是在去领土化/去领土化之间的变化中形成的,产生了一种 "遗产绅士化 "形式,在这种形式中,历史和民族遗产通过卫星绅士化进程被牺牲掉,而卫星绅士化进程植根于文化转型,并由分散的权力结构管理。将西方的地球城市化蓝图通过狭窄的大门引入非西方环境是一个普遍的挑战。
