> The right to public space is constitutive of the right to the city
> and citizenship. It entails the right to be seen and to see others
> in public and use space as a resource. Public space has always
> operated through a set of exclusions. This panel examines the
> exclusions through which the new order and politics of public space
> emerge in neoliberal urban restructuring. The globalizing city
> collects a disproportionate share of disenfranchised actors, for
> many of whom it is through the politics of place that they gain
> recognition as citizens. Their right to public space is the right
> to strategic places which provide them with a livelihood, as it is
> for vendors, beggars, entertainers and prostitutes; the right to a
> dwelling as in the case of homeless and undocumented slum dwellers;
> the right to strategic visibility for the poor that earns them
> recognition and make them escape the confines of locality by
> becoming a social problem, a problem of the city, tourism and the
> country’s capacity to allure capital. The panel invites
> contributions that illuminate contemporary politics of public space
> especially as they are related to the politics of the unprivileged.
