Public space on the move: Mediating mobility, stillness and encounter on a Cape Town bus
移动中的公共空间：在开普敦巴士上调整流动性、静止性和相遇
Abstract
As a public space, the environment of public transportation services is maintained by an ordered set of rules and conditions. Such rules and conditions are prescribed by law as they are in generally-accepted norms of social behaviour within public space. Through the examination of the Conditions of Carriage that govern bus transportation in Cape Town, South Africa, using Golden Arrow Bus Services, this paper seeks to highlight the myriad ways that urban public space on the move is mediated, negotiated and controlled through rules of conduct that differentiate mobile public space from its counterpart in the environment outside the bus. Understood as a mundane part of the social life of the city and its inhabitants, mobility in the form of public transportation is constituted by micro-communities whose publics are in a constant state of flux and negotiation. Using analysis of the Conditions of Carriage and an ethnographic case study of bus passengering, this paper demonstrates how the Conditions mediate the situated and lived assemblage of actors in mobile public space that is a liminal zone between inclusion and exclusion.

Public space and public rituals: Engagement and protest in the digital age
公共空间和公共仪式：数字时代的参与和抗议
Abstract
In our technology-based society, individuals have more tools that they can use to manage and ‘show’ themselves in public space. In public space, they are monitored by agencies using surveillance practices but they also share information through location-aware technologies. This profound condition alters social norms and, with that, not only change self-rituals practiced in public but also group gatherings in public spaces. With an emphasis on political protests, this commentary focuses on a set of related questions: what characterises contemporary self-rituals in public space? How are these rituals being altered by digitisation processes? How are these changes manifested in the performance of the self during protests? This commentary suggests that public protests in the digital age are ‘moments of togetherness’, accelerated by social media, which dramatically enhance personalisation processes in collective actions. Reflecting on the contemporary alteration of group rituals and protests as extensions of the self, the commentary ends with a discussion about the opportunities and challenges this might bring for future collective actions.
摘要
在当今的科技社会中，个人拥有更多的工具，可以用来管理和在公共场所“展示”自己。在公共场所，一些机构用各种监控方法监控个人，但个人也通过位置感知技术共享信息。这种深刻的状况改变了社会规范，进而，其不仅改变了公共场所的自我仪式，也改变了公共场所的集体聚会。在着重关注政治抗议的同时，本评论也关注一系列相关的问题：当代公共空间中的自我仪式的特征是什么？数字化过程如何改变这些仪式？这些变化如何体现在抗议期间的自我表现中？本评论认为，数字时代的公众抗议是“团结的时刻”，且被社交媒体加速，这极大地增强了集体行动中的个性化过程。在结尾处，本评论思考作为自我表达的延伸的群体仪式和抗议在当代发生的改变，并探讨了这可能为未来的集体行动带来的机遇和挑战。

The framing of urban values and qualities in inter-organisational settings: The case of ground floor planning in Gothenburg, Sweden
跨组织环境中城市价值和品质的框架：瑞典哥德堡的底层规划案例
Abstract
This article’s overall purpose is to contribute to the recent discussion between the literatures of valuation studies and urban studies. The paper aims to do this by generating knowledge on the framing of urban values and qualities in inter-organisational settings making up wider urban development projects. The paper makes use of a recent framework by Metzger and Wiberg published in 2017 in Urban Studies, although employing it in inter-organisational settings, rather than in the intra-organisational settings of those authors. It also adds a systematic focus on issues of value plurality. The paper pursues its aim by interrogating a recent case of inter-organisational ground floor planning in Gothenburg, Sweden. The article demonstrates how several organisational actors with different reasons for joining the scheme, repeatedly came to shift between different practices, scales, and devices of valuation. One implication of the paper is that the study of inter-organisational valuation allows the researcher to explore the plurality of ways in which actors with different goals evaluate development alternatives to keep the process going. Having said this, the paper also touches upon the fact that the value-agnostic sensibility of valuation studies risks making the researcher neglect power asymmetries.

New institutions and the politics of the interstices. Experimenting with a face-to-face democracy in Naples
新制度和间隙的政治：在那不勒斯尝试面对面的民主
Abstract
This article analyses the politics of new municipalism in Naples in relation to the constellation of ‘new institutions’ that has arisen from this politics. These ‘new institutions’ are illustrative of a politics of the interstices as a distinctive trait of the convergence between city government and social movements in Naples, as the latter have opted for staying neither outside nor inside official institutions and the city government has adapted its conduct to this strategy. To illustrate this point, the article explores the emerging constellation of ‘new institutions’ in Naples, which is understood as an embryonic form of radical ‘face-to-face democracy’ (in Murray Bookchin’s terms) at the municipal level, that departs from mainstream conceptions of participatory democracy and commons-based democracy. Through this analysis, the article argues that the experience of new municipalism in Naples offers evidence of a kind of participatory urban democracy understood not in a procedural sense but in a genuinely political vein, where civic participation and political conflict productively coexist with institutional creativity.

Introduction: Generating concepts of ‘the urban’ through comparative practice
引言：通过比较实践产生“城市”的概念
Abstract
This Introduction to the special issue, ‘Comparative Methods for Global Urban Studies’, outlines the basis for a reformatted comparative method inspired by the complex spatialities of the urban world. The articles in the volume each bring forward innovative approaches to comparative methods which support wider conceptualisations of urban processes and urban experiences. The articles in this volume consider a wide range of urban contexts and collectively move beyond geopolitically imprecise propositions of ‘southern’ urbanism to embrace the wider comparative agenda of thinking with both the diversity and the profound interconnectedness of the urban globally. The articles contribute to decentring urban studies, opening conceptualisation to a range of different contexts and differently positioned writers. They also speak to the analytical and methodological challenges posed by current trends in global urbanisation, as dispersed, fragmented and extending over vast territories. Thinking with the multiple elsewheres of any urban context invites a comparative imagination – this introduction draws together the creative ways in which authors in this volume have responded to this potential. Processes of conceptualisation both emerge from and more acutely reveal the spatiality and nature of the global urban: comparative method, then, also proposes a certain mode of theorisation of the urban.
本期“全球城市研究的比较方法”特刊简介概述了一种重新格式化的比较方法的基础，该方法受到城市世界复杂空间的启发。在比较的“遗传”（基于联系和更广泛的过程）和“生成”（由研究人员的好奇心引导）的基础上，萌生了一系列策略。本期特刊中的每篇论文都提出了比较方法方面的创新进路，以支持对城市过程和城市经验的更广泛概念化。本期特刊中的论文考虑了广泛的城市环境，并共同超越了地缘政治上不精确的“南方”城市化命题，以接受更广泛的比较议程，同时考虑全球城市的多样性和深刻的相互联系。这些论文有助于使城市研究去中心化，将概念化扩展到一系列不同背景和不同定位的作者。这些论文还涉及当前全球城市化趋势所带来的分析和方法论挑战，这些趋势包括分散化、碎片化以及延伸到广阔的地区。思考任何城市环境中的多个其他地方都需要比较想象力，本介绍汇集了本期特刊作者们应对这种可能性的创造性方法。概念化的过程既来自也更敏锐地揭示了全球城市的空间性和本质：因此，比较方法也提出了某种城市理论化模式。
