The project developed from a pair of linked conferences on the topic of the underground – one held in Amsterdam in 2010 and the other in Paris in 2011 – which involved a lot of geographic and intellectual shuttling between the two cities on the part of the speakers. The benefit, we believe, can be seen throughout this book in the often surprising, sometimes strange, but always productive interconnections between the various chapters. Our thanks, therefore, to the speakers and audiences at both conferences for their energetic contributions, as well as to our respective institutions, the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis and the University of London Institute in Paris, for providing financial support. For serious and sub- stantial help in getting this book ready for publication, we are greatly indebted to Miriam Meissner at ASCA, whose editorial and research assistance tied many loose ends together. Most of all, we are grateful to the authors in this book for participating with such a collaborative spirit in the extended conversation in- volved in the project as a whole, from its guerrilla conference roots through to its final published form. Christoph Lindner and Andrew Hussey 7 Foreword David Pinder In one of the many striking images in this book, a figure scrutinizes the earth through a giant magnifying glass. A painting by Jean Dubuffet, it is one of many that he composed from the mid-1940s that depict the ground and what lies be- neath. Readers of the book are often invited similarly to look downward, to consider spaces that are literally under the ground of Paris and Amsterdam. Our attention is directed to what is under the paving stones, asphalt, and concrete on which so many people daily tread. What may be found there unseen, bur- ied, sequestered, and forgotten? How can explorations of those depths trans- form understandings of the urban? The vertical line down may be a relatively neglected dimension of cities, the subterranean largely an unknown realm. But the latter, in its darkness and opacity, as a place to which expelled matter and waste flows and in which secrets as well as bodies are buried, has also long been a source of fascination combined with repulsion. That is particularly the case with Paris where the underground became an obsession during the nineteenth century among many writers and artists as well as politicians and administrators as the construction of new sewers, cemeteries, trains, and other infrastructure proceeded. Traditional imagery of underworlds was reworked as spaces under the city came to harbor all manner of fears, superstitions, fantasies, dreams, and visions. Associated with danger, decay, criminality, terror, insurrection, and the demonic, it was also a site of technological accomplishment, beauty, and wonder as well as escape, shelter, and refuge (Williams; Pike). Looking downward provides a distinct perspective on the city above, the un- derground even perhaps offers a key to unlock certain of its mysteries. Yet the un- derground cannot be comprehended through an abstract viewpoint and instead requires entering its ‘shadows’. That is an observation drawn toward the end of the book from one of the most famous chroniclers of Paris souterrain, Victor Hugo. The preceding pages take us on many journeys below the surface. The underneath is at times literal, for example via train or metro. But it is also meta- phorical. The underground of these pages is both a place and an idea, one that resonates in manifold ways with the histories of Paris and Amsterdam. They have become renowned for their underground movements and practices of cultural re- sistance, subversion, and diversion (and some of the paradoxes and recuperations involved in that ‘renown’ are explored insightfully in what follows). Opposing dominant power relations, these movements and activities have typically oper- ated below dominant culture’s threshold of visibility, even clandestinely. 9 One characteristic mode has been that of digging, grubbing, burrowing, un- dermining – and on occasion erupting through the surface. That is to use the terms of the ‘old mole’ evoked by Marx, an image

    When the Ladies of Love Left Contact: Sanne Derks [email protected] www.sannederks.com Ingrid Gercama [email protected] www.anthrovision.com When the Ladies of Love Left… Mariska (a pseudonym) fears what will happen with her little savings now the COVID19 outbreak rages on. It has already been weeks since the Ministry of Health’s Outbreak Management Team has prohibited so-called "contact professions", and Mariska and her colleagues have been at home ever since. "Some ladies will suffer unbearably", the representative of the Prostitution Information Centre (PIC) says. Many sexworkers she knows work illegally behind the famous red light windows and will not be able to access social emergency care. "They will be out on the street before long". Others, she says, continue to work out of pure necessity, risking their own and families' health. The COVID-19 pandemic has a severe impact on the daily life of Amsterdam’s Red Light District. There is no area in the Netherlands where the measures to prevent the disease from spreading have created such a large contrast with the daily status-quo than at ‘de Wallen’, as the area with many brothels, coffeeshops and sex workers is cal- led. The streets are empty -- tourists, customers that usually brought much needed money, have long gone. This photo story tells the story of the ladies of love and explores their fears, doubts and shows what actually happened when the red curtains closed.

  • Briefing on Legal Prostitution in the Netherlands: Policies, Evaluations, Normalisation
    Briefing on legal prostitution in The Netherlands: policies, evaluations, normalisation Author: Karin Werkman Date: June 2016 Website: http://feminismandhumanrights.org 1. Introduction In 2000 The Netherlands became the first country to legalise all aspects of prostitution. It has since been a strong advocate for its pragmatic approach. This brief explains the Dutch law, lists research on the effects and outcomes of it, and explains the pending law proposal and current discussions. The image that always comes to mind when discussing the Dutch prostitution policy is that of the statue of Belle in Amsterdam. It is an almost symbolic translation of Dutch thinking on prostitution. It translates the view that The Netherlands have on prostitution, on what prostitution is. It is the figure of a woman in a window frame, in a self- confident, proud posture, hands on her hips, chin in the air. The statue was placed on the square in April 2007, unveiled at the first open doors day of the red light district1. Less than a month earlier, the newspapers reported on a study that had been published on prostitution in Rotterdam. It found that more than half of the prostituted women in Rotterdam ‘worked illegally’. ‘Working illegally’ meant that the women had been either forced into prostitution; were illegal (no residence status); were minors or worked in ‘illegal sex establishments’2. If in Rotterdam at least half of the women weren’t in prostitution legally or voluntarily, then how could they place a statue for them in Amsterdam in the same month? This contradiction, between the thinking on prostitution and the reality of it, is the topic of this brief.

  • 3. Corona Java
    «AGON» (ISSN 2384-9045), n. 3, ottobre-dicembre 2014 René Corona JAVA QU’EST-CE QUE TU FAIS ENCORE LÀ? LIRE LE POÈME DE LA JAVA RÉSUMÉ. Sur les rivages de la Poésie, il existe des contrées danseuses où les mots, discrets par rapport au vacarme d’une musique populaire en fête, en vérité laissent apparaître, çà et là, un chant populaire, familier et dense d’images poétiques. C’est dans un petit bal perdu que l’on peut retrouver ces mots provenant d’un monde qui a chaviré depuis longtemps mais qui a laissé dans l’imaginaire collectif plein de couplets et de visions que l’on a essayé, avec cet essai, de regrouper avec l’idée d’un inventaire élaboré pour une poétique différente et originale par sa forme-sens. La clef qui consent l’entrée dans ce monde interlope et mystérieux c’est le poète écrivain Francis Carco qui nous l’offre avec l’un de ces premiers poèmes en prose où il nous montre ce monde rutilant et dansant, là où s’épanouit la java, cette danse des filles et des mauvais garçons. Nous sommes dans les années folles, les années 1920, et la java bat son plein et nous allons voir comment les mots qui la célèbrent vont se modifier au courant des années, alors qu’aujourd’hui elle n’est plus qu’une danse parmi d’autres qui a perdu presque tout son pouvoir de séduction: O tempora o mores, les danses s’assagissent et les danseurs ne se touchent pratiquement plus, le couple évolue, virevolte, solitaire sur une piste éclairée au néon, danseurs solitaires ou presque, couple désuni car, aujourd’hui, ainsi va la chanson.

  • The Resilience of the Gentrifying Red Light Districts of London and Amsterdam
    Dealing with neighbourhood change: The resilience of the gentrifying red light districts of London and Amsterdam The #no fucking photo’s campaign was launched by a collective of sex workers and entrepreneurs of De Wallen (photo by author) Marthe Singelenberg Research Master Urban Studies June 23rd 2017 Supervisor: Wouter van Gent Second reader: Rivke Jaffe Wordcount: 7431 1 1. Abstract Since the early 2000’s, western cities have developed urban policies aimed at the regeneration of their red light districts by reducing the number of sexually oriented business and by stimulating public-private investments in real estate. It has been argued that these processes of state-led gentrification are transforming these districts into ‘sanitized spaces’, whereby marginalised groups such as sex workers are targeted for displacement. This research will look at experiences of neighbourhood change in the gentrifying red light districts of London and Amsterdam. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it will show that these districts accommodate communities of place-based stakeholders with social and financial interests in the neighbourhood. As they use these interests to negotiate urban change, they contribute to the ways in which the gentrification of red light districts is accepted, contested and adopted. 2. Introduction The status of red light districts has been subject to ongoing public and academic debate. Within the urban discourse, they have been both marginalised and romanticised, avoided and frequented, endangered and protected, and recently, their existence has been contested. Worldwide, in cities like Hong Kong, Taipei, Montreal, Antwerp, London and Amsterdam, municipalities have developed policies aiming at reducing the physical presence of sex work in the city (Cheng 2016).

  • ESCALE Chansons Des Années 1930
    QUAI DES BRUNES présente ESCALE Chansons des années 1930 QUAI DES BRUNES En 1999, deux chanteuses et un accordéoniste se réunissent autour d’un répertoire de chansons françaises des années 1930 et créent le spectacle : « ESCALE ». Le groupe se produit dans des théâtres, des cafés-concerts, des cabarets, des festivals… Quai des Brunes se produit régulièrement sur Paris, région parisienne et province. ESCALE DES FAUBOURGS DE PARIS À L’UNIVERS DES PORTS, PROMENADE MUSICALE, POÉTIQUE ET FANTAISISTE AU CŒUR DES ANNÉES 1930… Sous la forme d’un récital, ce spectacle reprend certaines chansons réalistes des années 1930 de grandes interprètes de l’époque : Fréhel, Damia, Susy Solidor, Edith Piaf, Mistinguett, Joséphine Baker, Léo Marjanne, Marie Dubas… À travers des chansons d’amour, on retrouve les thèmes récurrents de ce répertoire : d’une part l’un ivers des ports et les filles à matelots…, d’autre part, Paris, les musettes, les filles des faubourgs et les mauvais garçons. Crédit photo : Brassaï LA CHANSON DANS LES ANNÉES 1930 Dans les années 1930 la chanson est omniprésente : on la retrouve dans les émissions de radio, les revues musicales, les films, les opérettes, les vaudevilles, les pièces de théâtre. Presque tous les auteurs, tous genres confondus, se mettent à la chanson. Avec l’accélération de la technologie des années trente, elle se répand sur tout le territoire national. Chaque foyer pouvait se réunir autour d’un poste de radio pour écouter le tour de chant de son idole, connue non pas grâce à sa « performance » sur scène, mais par le biais de la radio, du disque ou encore du cinéma.

  • Strong Mayors' Leadership Capital: New York, London & Amsterdam
    STRONG MAYORS’ LEADERSHIP CAPITAL: NEW YORK, LONDON & AMSTERDAM (2000-2016) by Max William Stafford Canterbury Christ Church University Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2019 1 Abstract This thesis examines mayors and their interaction with their institutional limits. In particular, it considers, from the perspective of political leadership studies, how far mayors fitting the strong-mayor typology are able to assert their will in the face of these institutional limits. David Sweeting’s expositions on the strong-mayor model, supplemented by those of other theorists, form the thesis’ theoretical framework. This framework is applied to three original case studies (Michael Bloomberg in New York and Ken Livingstone & Boris Johnson in London). A fourth case study, of Job Cohen in Amsterdam, follows these and offers alternative perspectives (based upon the application a model of an appointed mayoralty). The analytical tool chosen – the Leadership Capital Index (LCI) – is a recent innovation in political leadership studies. The thesis’ findings demonstrate that there was clear potential for all of the mayors within the systems examined to assert their political will. What varies is how far mayors in different forms of strong-mayor systems can do this and how they achieve it. With regard to the LCI, the study concludes that it needs further development if it is to achieve longevity in terms of its place in the field. The thesis ends by outlining the future research agenda emerging as a result of this study. 2 Table of Contents Abstract ................................................................................................................................ 2 Acknowledgements .............................................................................................................. 7 List of Tables and Figures ..................................................................................................... 8 List of Interviewees* ..........................................................................................................
