“Excluded Participation”: Some Observations of Non‐Reciprocal Interaction in a Danish Fifth Grade Classroom

Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.
This article introduces the concept of excluded participation to examine how inclusion and exclusion are negotiated in real time within a Danish fifth‐grade classroom. Using a micro‐sociological framework, particularly the work of Erving Goffman, the study focuses on the case of Anders, a student whose participation is symbolically recognized yet ...

STREETS AS STAGES: Traffic Enforcement and the Competition for Cultural Growth in China

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...

THE LEGITIMACY TRAP: Street Vending Heterogeneity and Selective Enforcement in San Francisco

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature on street vending regulation often emphasizes the challenges in enforcing legal frameworks due to unclear laws or insufficient state capacity. However, it tends to overlook diversity among vendors themselves along crucial parameters such as spatial location, community ties and processes of goods procurement.

READING HOUSING AS AN URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE PATTERNING THE ‘WHORE STIGMA’

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I conceptualize housing as an urban infrastructure enabling the reproduction, exploitation, circulation and emplacement of the ‘whore stigma’. To this end, I engage with infrastructural scholarship, particularly the emerging field of infrastructural housing studies, and situate it in dialogue with critical perspectives on ...
