“…So too do the ways in which they facilitate and enable people to engage in relations of knowing, caring, befriending and loving, particularly outside of conventional institutions and networks of sociality. As new forms of segregation and social distancing are continuously pioneered (Atkinson, 2016; Chronopoulos, 2012; Minton, 2012), understanding the ways in which people come together in mutually beneficial ways is a matter of critical importance.…”

Inviting the stranger in: Intimacy, digital technology and new geographies of encounter

Digital technologies are profoundly reshaping how people relate to unknown others, yet urban studies and geographies of encounter have yet to adequately incorporate these changes into theory and research. Building on a longstanding concern with stranger encounters in social and urban theory, this paper explores how digital technology brings new possibilities and challenges to urban life. With examples ranging from GPS-enabled apps for sex and dating to sharing economy platforms that facilitate the peer-to-peer exchange of services, new practices mediated by digital technology are making many stranger encounters a matter of choice rather than chance, and they are often private as much as they are public. This paper examines these changes to develop a conceptualisation of stranger intimacy as a potentially generative form of encounter involving conditional relations of openness among the unacquainted, through which affective structures of knowing, providing, befriending or even loving are built. We offer an agenda for researching stranger intimacies to better understand their role in generating new kinds of social and economic opportunity, overcoming constraints of space and place, as well as generating dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, privilege and disadvantage. The paper concludes by considering what critical attention to these encounters can offer geographical scholarship and how an emphasis on digital mediation can push research in productive directions.

“…There are a variety of other factors that promote gentrification. For example, escalated policing of communities of color through racial profiling not only contributed to mass incarceration but also to making these areas “safer” for Whites (Alvaré, 2017; Chronopoulos, 2011; Jay & Conklin, 2017). When Rudolf Giuliani became mayor of New York City in 1994, he instituted get-tough policing tactics, including going after minor infractions, to bring down crime and make the city safe and attractive to tourists and the well-off (Chronopoulos, 2016).…”

After several decades of Whites fleeing large metropolitan areas, they are now increasingly gentrifying urban neighborhoods and communities. This analysis uses data from the 2000 decennial census and the 2012 and 2017 American Community Survey to assess the growing presence of Whites in U.S. cities. The analysis examines the extent to which Whites have experienced an increase in their percentage share of the populations of 212 majority non-White communities with 50,000 or more inhabitants over two time periods (2000 to 2008–2012 and 2008–2012 to 2013–2017). The results show that 39 communities have experienced an expanding relative presence of Whites in one or both periods. Whites generally are growing at a faster pace than Blacks and Latinos in these communities and there are large socioeconomic gaps favoring Whites. The article concludes with a discussion of the policy implications of the findings.

“…Indeed, Gliedman was reported to have said, "Perception is reality." (Chromopoulos, 2011). Along those lines, Robert Jacobson, director of the Bronx office of the City Planning Commission, argued that "most people [from outside of the Bronx] knew the Bronx from what they saw when they drove on the Cross Bronx Expressway .…”

How Do We Quote Black and Brown Bodies? Critical Reflections on Theorizing and Analyzing Embodiments

This article is a reflection on the development of an embodied data analysis framework, leading to critical interrogations of the micro level black and brown physical performances of culture and what they reveal about macro level social inequality. Working at the intersections of social science, dance, performance, and qualitative research as well as commitments to a social science that enacts a decolonizing methodology/pedagogy, an analytic framework is choreographed toward imagining possibilities that can be created in qualitative social science research when black and brown bodies and their performances are acknowledged as sites of knowledge production.
