本文探讨邻里认同与归属的主体性。它考虑了地方身份和依恋在代际间传递的程度和方式。三大主题构成了这项研究的框架。首先，邻里身份的形成和再生产受到地理、政治、当代和历史背景的影响。第二，与此相关的是种族和阶级等交叉因素所起的作用。第三，在何种程度上替代邻里身份的挑战和竞争的“主流”的故事，污名化和破坏弱势内城社区。本文借鉴了“利物浦8”（更广泛的托克斯特斯地区的一部分），一个历史上种族多元化的内城地区，吸引了负面的新闻报道在20世纪80年代和2011年的骚乱的案例研究领域。通过对居民的一系列深入访谈，研究揭示了强烈的邻里归属感和认同感的证据，这些归属感和认同感是各代人共享和传播的，其基础是积极的（如庆祝多样性、睦邻友好）和消极的（如种族主义、歧视）主观经验。在某种程度上，年轻一代的叙述揭示了微妙的变化，表明空间视野的扩大，超越了居民的近邻。然而，与此同时，社会经济和种族不平等也在影响和扼杀年轻一代和老一代在近邻之外的社会空间网络和经验。
This paper explores the subjectivities of neighbourhood identity and belonging. It considers how far, and in what ways, place identity and attachment are transmitted cross-generationally. Three broad themes have framed this research. First, the ways in which the formation and reproduction of neighbourhood identities have been influenced by geographical, political, contemporary and historical contexts. Second, and relatedly, the roles played by intersectional factors such as race and class. Third, the extent to which alternative neighbourhood identities challenge and contest 'mainstream' narratives that stigmatise and undermine disadvantaged inner-city communities. This paper draws on a case study area of 'Liverpool 8' (part of the wider Toxteth locale), a historically ethnically diverse inner-city area which attracted negative press coverage during the 1980s and 2011 riots. Drawing on a series of in-depth interviews with residents, the research reveals evidence of strong neighbourhood belonging and identity, shared and diffused across generations, based on subjective experiences, both positive (e.g. celebration of diversity, neighbourliness) and negative (e.g. racism, discrimination). To some extent, younger generation narratives reveal subtle changes that suggest a broadening of spatial horizons, beyond the residents' immediate neighbourhood. However, at the same time, socio-economic and ethnic inequalities act to temper and stifle socio-spatial networks and experiences outside the immediate neighbourhood, for younger - as well as older - generations.
