This article describes the creation of social space in the historical area of Pekan Labuhan of two ethnic groups, Chinese and Malay. The existence of two viharas (Chinese monasteries), Siu San Keng and Liat Sim Kong, and a row of Chinese-style shophouses were some of their heritage sites in Pekan Labuhan. The social relations between the Chinese and the Malay communities became strained after the political developments. Eventually, for their respective interests, the two ethnicities found ways to interact harmoniously. The viharas have turned into a social space that restores the harmonious relations between the two communities. At the same time, the viharas became a tool of struggle, where the Chinese’s interests in security and existence and the Malay’s need for living space were brought together.

Discussions of beyond-human worlds have primarily considered post-anthropocentric models in response to climatic breakdown. However, we must also account for an increasingly techno-mediated experience in the landscape of everyday life through emerging pervasive and ubiquitous robotics in the built environment, particularly drones and their wider social impact. This paper presents two methods of understanding: speculative ontography for more-than-human understanding and design fiction as an alternate and heterogeneous world-building task that moves beyond corporate technological visions and “captured” futures. These methods are set in context with two specific diegetic prototypes: “Game of Drones,” a drone-gamified civic enforcement tool, and “Drone Logi*,” a drone logistics game for more-than-human alternative visions. The design fiction approaches develop an understanding of emerging robotic sentience within broader constellations and services.

Anuradhapura, the most ancient and revered Buddhist city in Sri Lanka, underwent a major transformation at the turn of the 20th century. By analyzing the complex interplay of nationalism, religion, and colonialism, and paying special attention to local agency, this article examines how the local leaders of the Buddhist revival movement brought the ancient city into the center of the Sinhala-Buddhist universe. They struggled against the colonial archeologization and museumization of Anuradhapura, especially where highly significant Buddhist monuments are located, and to eliminate non-Buddhist activities from the sacred city. Simultaneously, they fought against the continuing dominance of the Buddhist order established in the last native kingdom (Kandy-based Up-Country) which fell in 1815. Combined with the rise of the Low-Country elite, the restructuring of Ceylon that followed displaced both Kandy and the colonial capital of Colombo, making them find accommodation in the new Sinhala-Buddhist spatiality defined by Anuradhapura’s centrality.

Traditional craft commercialization in Assam and its dynamics have been specifically examined in this paper with the help of a theoretical model framed out of concepts such as spontaneous and sponsored commercialization. It is found that craft commercialization in Assam is varied, vibrant, and dynamic as it depends upon the specific role played by artisans, intermediaries, and external agents. The spontaneous effort of artisans in adapting craft objects to various uses for pure artistic pleasure as well as sale and the proximity of producers of the crafts to the market and the customers have been explored. Most of the craftworks were found to have undergone transformation due to the artistic ingenuity of the craftsmen, while many others metamorphosed due to external influence. Agents essayed the role of design and sales agent bringing to light the degree of interface between the producers of the crafts and different types of customers. The commercialization butterfly minutely captures the distinct processes, viz., spontaneous, sponsored, pure-spontaneous, and pure-sponsored, taking place in the craft sector of Assam.

This is a short essay on the conference “Taking Place and Making Place: Celebrating 25 Years of Space and Culture” at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt (June 23–25, 2022). Based on a handful of notes and personal impressions, this is an unqualified research note and a descriptive overview of this conference from the perspective of a literary scholar. This perspective includes some brief reflections on Nietzsche’s perspectivism and Genevieve Lloyd’s reading of Spinoza as an alternative epistemology to Cartesian mind–body dualism, which approach critical engagement through a set of perspectives arising from the intersections between different fields.

Based on an ethnography developed with social movements derived from the eviction process of an old popular district in the city of São José dos Campos, São Paulo, Brazil, we analyze how an idea of neighborship is applied to the processes of struggle and their outcomes. In 2004, a land of over 1,000,000 m2, owned by a bankrupt industry, was occupied by an entire district of over 5,000 people. This “illegal” occupation had been going on for almost 8 years when a court decision ordered the land to be vacated. The case of the Pinheirinho dos Palmares neighborhood, as it was known, became an emblematic example of Brazilian housing policies, with its violent eviction drawing the entire country’s attention. This article deals with the struggles that the evicted residents started and that resulted, at the end of almost 5 years, in the construction of a new district by the state, based on a new housing program. We are going to analyze how concerns about organizing the new neighborship from the old neighborhood relations were fundamental in the geographical and architectural production of the new district. The article seeks to intertwine the notions of resistance and neighborship, responsible for the new configuration of the district.

The article contributes to understanding of how collective life in post-socialist mass housing is ordered by discussing the ambiguous relations that exist between sound, privacy, and home. It demonstrates how residents of Severnaya Dolina, a large housing estate in St. Petersburg, Russia, experience certain neighborly sounds as nuisances and calls to action to react to and prevent sonic intrusions. Privacy at home is a collective achievement: Residents assemble complex combinations of materials, regulations, relationships, and practices to achieve privacy in their apartments. Analyses of sources, circulation, articulations, evaluations, and contestations of sound in Severnaya Dolina demonstrate how residents, who can hardly rely on the local authorities to create and regulate privacy, employ various sound politics. They define who and what is accountable for sound circulations and evoke various means to create privacy.

This article assesses what a spatial expression of the commons might entail. It asks, “How is ‘common space’ produced when the initiative thereto lies at the institutional rather than at the grassroots level?” The article first proposes a dyadic understanding of common space in terms of endogenous and exogenous commoning: internal governance and external negotiation, respectively. Thereafter, Lefebvre’s spatial triad is mobilized as an ensemble of sometimes conflictive and sometimes complementary “force fields” that act upon these two variants of common space. The article takes as a central case study Montaña Verde (“Green Mountain”), a wooden arch that was built and then dismantled as part of the “Antwerp Baroque 2018” festival. Results showcase how a multiple set of significations was projected upon Montaña Verde: as urban green space, as museum domain, as common-pool resource, and as a means to recast public space to collective use.

Urban experimentation has been identified as a key element of innovative approaches to urban sustainability and emerging practices of entrepreneurial municipalism whereby the public, private, and third sectors cooperate to address wicked problems—biophysical environmental deterioration and social inequality—brought about by neoliberalism. In contrast to vast, pan-state, top-down international programs, urban experimentation exploits interstitial niches to build relationships across sectors for mutual gain. These experiments can potentially scale up or across to shift broader ecosystem dynamics. Our article investigates the cross-sector support provided to “understorey”—a community, events, coworking and collaboration space in Ōtautahi Christchurch, Aotearoa New Zealand—and identifies crucial areas of cross-sector reliance and cross-sector responsibility. We conclude that this sort of experimentation both benefits from and is strengthened by the support of the public, private, and third sectors.

Iblin Edelweiss Murillo Lafuente
This article describes how Las FemiDiskas, an anti-ableist, feminist social movement organization, develops virtual engagement strategies to resist ableist and sexist violence experienced in individual homes and public spaces. How do women with disabilities organize against patriarchal violence in private and public spaces during pandemic times in the global south? I explore this question through ethnographic participative audiovisual methods. As a transnational feminist and member of Las FemiDiskas, I use participatory observations to identify how members of this collective are raising awareness of violence inflicted against women with disabilities in Bolivia. The spaces of resistance created by Las FemiDiskas are made through transnational networks of feminist solidarities. The transformation of private spaces is affected as much as online spaces and public ones. The COVID-19 crisis pushed for the creation of a safe space to discuss and create a collective voice for women with disabilities. Online activism has opened a door to new inclusive spaces, where location is not an obstacle to collectively organizing, as long as there is internet accessibility. The creation of these new virtual spaces transforms existing material spaces and shapes the collective identity of women with disabilities and challenges and reconstructs notions of disability and gender. Exploring how digital and remote activism is deployed by women with disabilities and allies shines a light on future, kinder, non-discriminatory, and transnational practices within social movements.
