Abstract

Urban studies in recent decades have acknowledged that the cities of the Global South are epistemically, methodologically, and empirically different. However, the theorizations of Southern cities continue to be considered outside mainstream urban theories. In addition, there remains discrepancies and imbalance in the production of scholarships in southern cities. In addition to Southern urbanism knowledge being predominantly produced in the geographical West, scholars based in the Global South experience growing marginalization as a result of access, affordances, and knowledge production politics. With increasing discussions around the politics of visibility and institutional affiliations, this study aims to systematically map and analyze the dynamics and geography of knowledge production in the field. First, a scientometric review of this study unpacks the plethora of urban theory and related publications that theorizes the Global South and places them according to where and by whom this was published. Second, this study traces the need for urban theory and the production of knowledge following the decolonization agenda to be produced by and for the south. Finally, it closes by addressing the ways forward to progress urban theory and empirics from the south through the production and coproduction of knowledge for and by the south.

全球南方的城市理论:对非殖民化的问题、挑战和途径的系统回顾
近几十年来的城市研究已经承认,全球南方的城市在认知、方法和经验上都有所不同。然而,南方城市的理论仍然被认为是主流城市理论之外的。此外,南方城市奖学金的产生仍然存在差异和不平衡。除了南方城市主义知识主要在地理上的西方生产之外,全球南方的学者由于获取、提供和知识生产政治而日益边缘化。随着关于可见性政治和机构从属关系的讨论越来越多,本研究旨在系统地绘制和分析该领域知识生产的动态和地理。首先,对这项研究进行科学计量学回顾,揭示了大量将全球南方理论化的城市理论和相关出版物,并根据它们的出版地点和作者对它们进行了分类。其次,本研究追踪了城市理论和知识生产的需求,这些知识生产遵循由南方生产和为南方生产的非殖民化议程。最后,通过南方的知识生产和合作生产,解决了南方城市理论和经验的进步方法。
