The speed, magnitude, and unpredictability of the change are productive of a kind of unsettling. This unsettling is felt in the sound of drilling, the texture of the constant dust, the sight of cranes, and the unevenness of uplifted sidewalks. At the same time, as the sound, dust, and cranes persist across the city from day into night from 1 year to the next, this change is also productive of a kind of sedimentation, a resettling of the unsettling, a certainty of uncertainty and upheaval. How can we understand the processes of simultaneous rapid change and waiting taking place in Nairobi, and what are ways of thinking about the temporality of these processes? I posit an analytic of repeated fits and starts whose speed or lack of speed unsettles. In addition, I posit the temporal concept of sedimentation, or the accumulation of destruction/construction layered on top of each other, producing a repetitive pattern of rushing followed by waiting. As such, Nairobi, I argue, is constituted as much by unsettling as it is by sedimentation.</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ciso.70004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836376","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}

Prompted by this renewed displacement, this article explores how, following a rupture with place, refugees build attachments to new places of refuge and considers what happens when such a rupture is not a single event in the past but an ongoing and repeated process. Drawing on ethnographic research with former Yarmouk residents living in Lebanon, Jordan, Europe, and the United States, I argue that attachments to place emerge through material and immaterial accumulations that arise amid refugees' necessary daily practices of dwelling—a process I term accumulating place. That is, the need to get by in new places requires the accumulation of identity documents, permits, apartments, furnishings, languages, social ties, and beyond. It is through these varied accumulations that attachments to new places of refuge emerge. In exploring the experiences of Yarmouk's former residents, I situate these refugees' contemporary accumulations within the broader history of Palestinian displacement, demonstrating that, for iteratively displaced refugees, attachments to place include but expand beyond the binary of homeland and host country.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143835903","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 focuses on online “cacerolazos,” noise demonstrations by New York City housing organizers and tenants demanding rent cancellation during spring 2020. I analyze rent cancellation cacerolazos as assemblages of sonic and digital practices that enabled tenants to narrativize and contest economic conditions and to build solidarity during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cacerolazos were conducted primarily on online platforms due to health concerns and limitations for public gatherings implemented by state officials. Participants used noisemaking to demand renter protections, foster community, and call attention to precarious housing. By analyzing digital archival and ethnographic data, I examine how the affordances of virtual space differently enabled and constrained the recognition and uptake of cacerolazos as a protest form in the United States. I also situate pandemic-era cacerolazos within longer, interrelated genealogies of Latin American protest and dissensual noisemaking projects conducted on the internet. The cacerolazos' limited reach in early pandemic politics emblematized existing racial and economic inequalities that sedimented during the unfolding crisis in the city.</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ciso.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143836215","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}

Through these concerns with the material and the sensorial, we contribute to the emergent anthropological conversation about the ways in which the felt textures of place matter to the city, atmospherically, temporally, affectively, and infrastructurally. In attending to city-as-relation, we wish also to interrogate “the city” for the ways it continues to be undergirded by modernity as a colonial, racialized project and how its contemporary formations are everyday saturated with the afterlives of this past. Papers in this special section foreground the practices through which residents relate to the city while living through interplays of fixity and flux, suffusions of toxicity and joy, dispersals of memory and sense, and accumulations of labor and infrastructure.

Attention quickly turned to the Los Angeles County Flood Control District, which had activated its cloud seeding program just prior to the storm. This event provides a focal point for examining ways in which the physicality of clouds informs an elemental approach to urbanism that is at once epistemological and material. Suspended vapor or ice crystals that might precipitate or disperse, clouds offer an understanding of ways of being and knowing in motion. The materiality of water, wind, mud, and concrete in Los Angeles comes to matter in ways inflected by that of clouds.

Drawing on interviews with migrants and customary land owners, we demonstrate how people can benefit from a social context that allows for multiple narratives to coexist, even when they appear to contradict each other.

Drawing on Bryant and Knight's notion of “vernacular timespace” (2019), I analyze the timespace of zero-COVID as a state-regulated future orientation interwoven with collective anticipation of crisis, bureaucratic temporal governance, and contestations over time as a form of agency in everyday life. Instead of assuming a unitary form of present-future relationship that was homogeneous and unchallenged, I argue that the collective anticipation of a public health crisis was constantly shaped, managed, and contested throughout the processes of pandemic community building.

And it follows the design and construction of Batsinda Housing estate, a sustainable solution to a fictional “crisis” of inadequate housing in Kigali. Drawing on several years of ethnographic research, I argue that in Kigali, and many cities like it, the destruction of built environments is not only about local elites who wish to demolish “slums” or “informal settlements” to build “world-class” luxury cities. The demolition of neighborhoods and the displacement of people who live there is also done in the service of making new markets for green commodities through the production of scarcity. To manufacture effective demand for green commodities while maintaining their monopoly over what constitutes “sustainable,” Kigali's international teams of managers and consultants must render alternative, ecologically sound, African-owned neighborhoods and building technologies “unsustainable.”</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"36 3","pages":"146-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142861030","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}

I am delighted to learn that my analysis of policing and resistance resonates with urban contexts in Latin America, Italy, Spain, and Morocco. Although there is growing literature on the global nature of policing (Bradford et al., <span>2016</span>; Go, <span>2023</span>; Machold, <span>2024</span>; Schrader, <span>2019</span>), I believe there is a need for comprehensive global comparative ethnographies that explore both policing and abolitionist practices. I sincerely hope that <i>Police, Provocation, Politics</i> will contribute to fostering a comparative anthropological dialogue on policing which is not limited to the police institution and on world-building resistance practices rooted in long histories of defiance across both the Global North and South. In this limited space, I will concentrate on three key points highlighted by the reviewers in their insightful questions and comments: (a) the methodological implications of decentring the police as ethnographic protagonists; (b) the potentials and limitations of the Rancièrian perspective in anthropological approaches to policing; and (c) the martyr and the political theology of resistance.</p>","PeriodicalId":46417,"journal":{"name":"City & Society","volume":"36 3","pages":"141-145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ciso.12499","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142860635","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}
