Segregation for Aggregation? the Pattern and Logic of Spatial Segregation Practices of Young Affluent Heads of Households in the Post-War City of Beirut Segregation for aggregation? The pattern and logic of spatial segregation practices of young affluent heads of households in the post-war city of Beirut A thesis submitted to University College of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Nadia Alaily-Mattar Development Planning Unit The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment University College of London 2010 Declaration ‘ I, Nadia Alaily-Mattar confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis.' ................................................................. 06 October 2010 2 ABSTRACT This thesis describes, conceptualizes and explains the segregated spatiality of everyday life of young affluent heads of households in post-war Beirut, Lebanon. It tracks how young affluent heads of households have come to produce the living spaces of their everyday life in a spatially segregated way that rejects the local and is stretched out over the totality of the city. Its main objectives are to contribute to the literature on spatial segregation by (1) conceptualizing segregation in its residential and non-residential manifestations as actively and passively practiced by a certain profile of affluent individuals and (2) explaining the logic behind this type of segregation from the point of view of affluent individuals that are actively pursuing segregation. This research has utilized an ethnographic research approach that started from observing and understanding the motivations of individuals who are actively pursuing segregation. Based mainly on a qualitative research methodology, this research has utilized ethnographic field notes, qualitative interviews and participant observation with young affluent heads of households. The findings of this qualitative research have been supported by questionnaires that were distributed in five elite childcare nurseries in Beirut in which young affluent heads of households were outcropped. A total of 118 questionnaires were collected. The four core chapters of this thesis discuss the relationship of affluence to the local place around the home, to places of play, to non--places and to places of passage in post war Beirut. They conceptualize the spatiality of affluence in Beirut and propose the concept of the layer as one that captures the pattern of this spatiality and unlocks its logic. This thesis concludes by raising questions related to the changing role of neighbourhoods in Beirut and the changing nature of its urban condition. Indeed, to affluent individuals in Beirut the neighbourhood has become a space with which they avoid getting in contact, while, paradoxically, the city is perceived as a small neighbourly space where everyone knows everyone else. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis is the result of some five years of research and writing. I would like to thank all of my interviewees and informants for their generosity and patience. In addition, so many people have supported me in the past years. I would like to mention and thank the following: Jorge Fiori, my supervisor who has been supportive throughout, my friend Michelle for her valuable comments, Hanan, and Jolnar my London connections, Soha for her constant encouragement, Oma whose strength is the source of my inspiration. My special thanks go out to: Mom who taught me how to dig for truth beneath the surface, Dad who in our long evening discussions imbued me with the courage to see things differently, and my two little angels Jana and Rhea who endured the process of this thesis. This work is of course far too humble; nevertheless, I would like to dedicate it to you Wajdi with love and thanks. 4 ABREVIATIONS BMR Beirut Metropolitan Area GC Gated Communities GBA Greater Beirut Area MOE Ministry of Environment MOSA Ministry of Social Affairs VSE Voluntary social exclusion 5 TABLE OF CONTENTS CHAPTER 1.

  • Celebrities As Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field
    Celebrities as Political Representatives: Explaining the Exchangeability of Celebrity Capital in the Political Field Ellen Watts Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Politics 2018 Declaration I, Ellen Watts, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Ellen Watts September 17, 2018. 2 Abstract The ability of celebrities to become influential political actors is evident (Marsh et al., 2010; Street 2004; 2012, West and Orman, 2003; Wheeler, 2013); the process enabling this is not. While Driessens’ (2013) concept of celebrity capital provides a starting point, it remains unclear how celebrity capital is exchanged for political capital. Returning to Street’s (2004) argument that celebrities claim to speak for others provides an opportunity to address this. In this thesis I argue successful exchange is contingent on acceptance of such claims, and contribute an original model for understanding this process. I explore the implicit interconnections between Saward’s (2010) theory of representative claims, and Bourdieu’s (1991) work on political capital and the political field. On this basis, I argue celebrity capital has greater explanatory power in political contexts when fused with Saward’s theory of representative claims. Three qualitative case studies provide demonstrations of this process at work. Contributing to work on how celebrities are evaluated within political and cultural hierarchies (Inthorn and Street, 2011; Marshall, 2014; Mendick et al., 2018; Ribke, 2015; Skeggs and Wood, 2011), I ask which key factors influence this process.

Four different naturalistic measures of helpfulness were de- velopted and used: willingness to give change, willingness to coope­ rate with an interview, response to a small accident, and response to a lost postcard. The results generally showed significantly less helpfulness in Turkish cities than in towns and urban squatter settle­ ments, which showed equivalent levels of helpfulness. This supports the view that the squatters may in a pschological and social sense be «urban villagers». Consistent and considerable differences in helpful ness were also found between other typs of city districts. Some of these districts came close to the towns and squatter settle­ ments in their levels of helpfulness, suggesting that drawing distinc­ tions between environments in terms of their behavioral characte­ ristics is best done with the concept of a social-enviromental conti­ nuum rather than an urban-nonurban dichotomy. Also environmental input level as an explanation of urban social behaviour was tested in naturalistic environments, found to influence the level of help­ fulness for female subjects but not male subjects. Finally, a survey 106 NAMIK AYVALIOĞLU study was carried out in order to examine differences in attitudes of helpfulness between environements in the question.

  • Urban Villages in China NIE, Zhi-Gang and WONG, Kwok-Chun
    Urban Villages in China NIE, Zhi-Gang and WONG, Kwok-Chun Department of Real Estate and Construction University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam Road, Hong Kong Email: [email protected] Abstract: There are two main types of land ownership in China – state owned land, and land owned by village communes. During the rapid urbanization of China in the past 30 years, state owned lands were sold and developed into high densities apartments. These apartments were built literally surrounding existing rural villages. Village lands were, however, not allowed to be developed because of its rural history. But when the villagers saw the profits of development, they simply build new apartments illegally at rates and densities even higher than those on state owned lands. By now, the political problems of these illegal developments are too large to be handled by local city governments. Hence, as we now see, there are high density apartments built by villagers right inside city centres. Very often these apartments are poorer in qualities. This paper traces the history of this development, and tries to induce property right implications on excessive land exploitation, in the absence of effective building regulation and control. Keywords: building regulation and control, property rights, state owned land, urban villages, village communes. 1 Historical background In mainland China, there was basically a feudal land system before the Chinese Revolution in 1911. After 1911, a system of private land ownership was still, by and large, enforced by the Chinese Nationalist Party. The Communist Land Reform started in 1946. Basically in this reform, land and other properties of landlords were expropriated and redistributed.

  • The Port Securityscape an Ethnography
    The port securityscape an ethnography by Yarin Eski Thesis submitted in fulfilment for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social and Political Sciences University of Glasgow Scottish Centre for Crime and Justice Research 63 Gibson Street Glasgow G12 8LR Scotland Prof Fergus McNeill (first supervisor) Prof Simon Mackenzie (second supervisor) Dr Nicole Bourque (internal examiner) Prof Ian Loader (external examiner) Abstract 9/11 changed the face of maritime transport that is responsible for moving 80% of everything we consume. Ports are vital hubs in that maritime transport and any disruption there instantly affects global trade. To protect the global supply chain from crime and terrorism, both must be disrupted locally in the port by port police and security officers that are responsible for port security at operational level. Public and critical criminological attention to these key security actors, however, is virtually non-existent. This thesis therefore explores how their occupational realities and identities are (re)established in two major European ports, by providing an ethnographic account. To do so, the thesis builds on multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork in the ports of Rotterdam and Hamburg between 2011 and 2012, during which everyday policing and security work has been documented, followed by a thematic analysis. The key argument runs thus: the port is a local space for the global trade, which is underappreciated and underestimated by the public, and has its police and security professionals in place both aboard and on shore who protect and defend that vital trade site. The aggressive commercialist governmentality that goes on behind that vital global trade is unwillingly yielded to by these guardians but not without any bottom-up resistance.
