摘要

Cities are, by their very essence, heterogeneous and cosmopolitan places; sites of dense social meetings, flows, interactions, and mixing (Pile, 1999). But at the beginning of the twenty-first century, this feature of the city has taken on particular poignancy as large numbers of people migrate and settle in the major cities of the Western plutocracies. The presence of these new societies within the spaces of the major cities, referred to as 'ethnoscapes' by Arjun Appadurai (1996), has disrupted and unsettled the universalizing rhetoric of the 'pure', homogeneous and culturally-bound nation-state and modernist city (Gupta and Ferguson, 1999). Indeed, as the new mix of cultures project themselves on the urban landscape, often in 'a dazzling array of postcolonial simulacra', the boundaries between 'here' and 'there', centre and periphery, colony and metropole, become blurred (Gupta and Ferguson, 1999, p. 37; Appadurai, 1996). This increasingly porous nature of the boundaries of the nation-state, and its inherent claims to citizenship, now stand challenged by the presence of transnational cultures within its confines. It has been suggested that this globalized condition has generated an important geopolitical shift from the nation-state to the city-state as conduits and receptors of global movements of people (Appadurai and Holston, 1996; Friedmann, 1997; Sandercock 1998b). This intensity of co-presence amongst groups organized around specific identities holds within it the possibility for new spaces of 'insurgent citizenship' - a term coined by Holston (1995) to refer to the struggles of these social groups to advance their claims for recognition of their histories, cultures and demands. These claims disrupt the normative and assumed categories of social life, institutional definitions of the state, and its legal codes, creating new kinds of rights based on the exigencies of lived experience.
