Abstract

Emphasising implicit assumptions behind our ways of seeing ‘slums’, this essay calls for a radical understanding of ‘ordinary neighbourhoods’. Borrowing from Robinson’s ‘ordinary cities’ concept, it conceptualises ‘ordinariness’ as a way of rejecting the ‘absolute otherness’ of slums, stressing heterogeneity within and between neighbourhoods as well as the significance of comparative empirical research. Beyond the need for alternative, less stigmatised terms, the article urges for a new territorial ethics, a radical deconstruction and de-mystification of the ‘slum’. Such conceptualisation should make aware of the term ‘slum’ as a non-physical, spatially detached social construct that discredits marginalised people and diverts attention away from precarious living conditions and possible ways of improving them.

普通的社区
这篇文章强调了我们看待“贫民窟”的方式背后隐含的假设,呼吁对“普通社区”有一个激进的理解。借用罗宾逊的“普通城市”概念,它将“平凡”概念化为一种拒绝贫民窟“绝对他者性”的方式,强调社区内部和社区之间的异质性以及比较实证研究的意义。除了需要替代的、不那么污名化的术语之外,文章还敦促建立一种新的领土伦理,对“贫民窟”进行激进的解构和去神秘化。这种概念化应该使人们意识到“贫民窟”一词是一种非物质的、空间上分离的社会结构,它使边缘化的人们失去信誉,并将注意力从不稳定的生活条件和可能的改善方式上转移开。
