Living together super diverse city

项目摘要

In the past two decades, London has become a 'global city' due to substantial transformations in its 'economic base, spatial organisation and social structure' (Sassen, 2001:4). In the London Borough of Haringey, where my doctoral research took place, over 70% of young people are from ethnic minority backgrounds and over 100 languages are spoken. Super-diversity has been introduced as a concept by Steven Vertovec (2007) to recognise this exceptional diversity and the unpredictable, mobile and complex forms of migration to urban areas. Consequently, concerns of social identity, place-making, cohesion and belonging have become crucial in London and many other world cities. Difference has for many come to be viewed as a problem needing to be resolved and yet, in places where everyday multiculture is lived, it seems to be largely celebrated. As Paul Gilroy (2004:xi) has argued 'processes of cohabitation and interaction...have made multiculture an ordinary feature of social life in Britain's urban areas'.Therefore, it is crucially important for us to ask and understand: what does difference really mean for our everyday lives and geographies in these super-diverse neighbourhoods? And how do these processes of cohabitation and interaction shape and produce urban places?This research takes these questions as a starting point. It argues that space is crucially the arena in which our lives unfold, and an analysis of place enables an understanding of the politics of contemporary co-existence. Focused on the super-diverse neighbourhood of Finsbury Park, the research investigates how multicultural places shape people and vice versa, how Finsbury Park is made up of many everyday experiences and 'vernacular geographies', the local practices of place-making.Through further research and publishing, this fellowship will make accessible to a range of audiences how this coexistence is lived in everyday places and the different implications of this. I will contribute to existing scholarship and debate by developing concepts of superdiversity, difference and conviviality, addressing key questions of the social relations implicated within urban change. Through the academic publications and conference presentations included in the fellowship, I am moving beyond stalled debates that either celebrate or reject notions of multiculturalism by adding a critical and nuanced view that opens up new avenues of inquiry. I combine innovative visual and mapping methodological approaches to demonstrate the relevance of geographical knowledge of space and place in understanding the complex ways we live together with difference. This fellowship will adopt different strategies to put my findings into publications and make the results accessible. E.G. through a Knowledge Exchange programme with Manor House Development Trust (MHDT), a community-based resident led charity that provides holistic community development. This will involve a co-designed research activity to develop findings that explore how forms of 'community' and 'conviviality' are constituted through experiences of place and shared encounters in contexts of regeneration. I will focus on making the results relevant to local NGOs and government and can have a tangible impact on policies and community-based projects through a running a Stakeholder Workshop and writing a Stakeholder Report. During the fellowship I will complete an overseas visit to University of Cape Town to develop new research proposals that will ensure this research can be built upon in new contexts. I would like to develop my research in South Africa, to investigate how the complexity of diversity manifests in the post-apartheid city. This visit will increase my research networks through contributing to the programming of the Urban Humanities Hub of the Africa Centre for Cities and will contribute to my own career trajectory ensuring the research can continue to have an impact into the future.

在过去的二十年里，伦敦已经成为一个“全球城市”，由于其“经济基础，空间组织和社会结构”的重大转变（萨森，2001：4）。在伦敦哈林盖自治市，我的博士研究发生了，超过70%的年轻人来自少数民族背景，超过100种语言的发言。Steven Vertovec（2007年）提出了“超级多样性”的概念，以认识到这种特殊的多样性和不可预测的、移动的和复杂的向城市地区迁移的形式。因此，对社会身份、场所营造、凝聚力和归属感的关注在伦敦和许多其他世界城市中变得至关重要。对许多人来说，差异已经被视为一个需要解决的问题，然而，在日常多元文化生活的地方，它似乎在很大程度上得到了庆祝。正如保罗·吉尔罗伊（Paul Gilroy，2004：xi）所说，“同居和互动的过程......使多元文化成为英国城市地区社会生活的一个普通特征。因此，我们必须问一问并理解：在这些超级多样化的社区中，差异对我们的日常生活和地理位置到底意味着什么？这些共同居住和相互作用的过程又是如何塑造和产生城市空间的呢？本研究正是以这些问题为出发点。它认为，空间是至关重要的竞技场，在其中我们的生活展开，和分析的地方，使当代共存的政治的理解。该研究聚焦于芬斯伯里公园的超级多样化社区，调查多元文化的地方如何塑造人们，反之亦然，芬斯伯里公园是如何由许多日常经验和“本土地理”组成的，地方制作的地方实践。通过进一步的研究和出版，该奖学金将使一系列观众可以接触到这种共存是如何在日常场所生活的，以及这种共存的不同含义。我将通过发展超级多样性，差异和欢乐的概念，解决城市变化中所涉及的社会关系的关键问题，为现有的学术和辩论做出贡献。通过奖学金中包含的学术出版物和会议演讲，我正在超越停滞的辩论，通过添加一个批判性和微妙的观点，开辟新的调查途径，来庆祝或拒绝多元文化主义的概念。我结合了联合收割机创新的视觉和绘图方法，以展示空间和地点的地理知识在理解我们与差异共同生活的复杂方式方面的相关性。这个奖学金将采取不同的策略，把我的研究成果发表在出版物上，并使结果易于获得。例如，通过与Manor House Development Trust（MHDT）的知识交流计划，这是一个以社区为基础的居民领导的慈善机构，提供全面的社区发展。这将涉及一个共同设计的研究活动，以开发的结果，探讨如何通过地方的经验和再生的背景下共同遭遇的“社区”和“欢乐”的形式构成。我将专注于使结果与当地非政府组织和政府相关，并通过举办利益相关者研讨会和撰写利益相关者报告对政策和社区项目产生切实影响。在奖学金期间，我将完成对开普敦大学的海外访问，以制定新的研究计划，确保这项研究可以在新的背景下进行。我想在南非开展我的研究，调查多样性的复杂性如何在后种族隔离城市中体现出来。这次访问将通过促进非洲城市中心城市人文中心的规划来增加我的研究网络，并将有助于我自己的职业轨迹，确保研究能够继续对未来产生影响。
