In this landscape, middle- and upper-class residents have turned to electronic security technologies to fortify their homes against the threat of a home intrusion. In this article, I focus on the Intrusion Detection System (IDS), a widely used electronic security system in Kingston. Attuned to threats through the mobilization of haptic, kinaesthetic, and thermoceptive capabilities, the IDS presents an alternate vision of urban security—that is, one not tethered to the primacy of the electronic gaze. In considering the discourse of electronic security providers and middle-class residents who live in gated enclosures, I interrogate the IDS as an extra-sensory sentinel assemblage and as a critical urban actor. Doing so reveals, I argue, how the IDS is changing how the risk/crime of a home intrusion is being temporally, spatially, and relationally anticipated and experienced both within and beyond the fortified domestic sphere. This article highlights the importance of integrating non-human and non-visual sensorialities into discussions of security in high-crime urban contexts.</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ciso.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145751151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the face of recurring threats of mass eviction and a lack of affordable, well-located social housing alternatives, it has become Cape Town's most prominent and politically contested building occupation. This article focuses on a co-design initiative that has emerged from within the occupation, in collaboration with allied community architects and civil society facilitators. In the article, I argue that the initiative added another negotiating tool and layer of resistance for creatively opposing vilification, discrimination, and displacement. Foregrounding the initiative's co-designed architectural models, collective imaginaries, and operative scales, the article critically interrogates how the movement's co-design initiative complemented ongoing repair practices, and how and whether these complementary activist repertoires could create viable avenues for improved living conditions within this politically hard-won activist space. The article contributes to urban anthropological research on architecture, design, and movement practices aimed at the broader goal of rebuilding and repairing existing communities in the context of Cape Town's historically most divided socio-spatial segregation. Throughout the article, I discuss “design” and “repair” as urban political sensibilities, distinct yet connected modalities of creative resistance, that operated as complementary tactics in defense of the occupation.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145739801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article charts a series of ethnographic examples of renegade relationality that illustrate its transgressive potential, including new forms of public debate, female-support networks, and networks of redistribution. Key to the transgressive nature of renegade relationality is the formation of fitness spaces as sites of social exception. The social obligations and norms that mediate sociality in other urban spaces are often temporarily suspended within fitness spaces. I locate the formation of fitness spaces as sites of social exception as part of the fitness industry's co-constitution with convergent neoliberal processes in Kampala. Tracing the ways that fitness is implicated in both neoliberal processes of urbanization as well as new discursive registers of self-responsibility suggests that renegade relationality exists not just in spite of neoliberalism, but because of it. In this way, I offer renegade relationality as an unexpected urban excess of neoliberalism, one that might draw attention to the transgressive and even progressive byproducts of the neoliberal era.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145739479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
