“…37 Disciplinary power complements biopower: It targets individual actors, guiding them to self-regulate in accordance with societal norms, ensuring the operationalization of biopower by enrolling everyday citizen-subjects in larger societalscale projects. 38 As clarified in wide-ranging studies, from Foucault's discussion of Jeremy Bentham's panopticon (Foucault 1977(Foucault , 1980a, to Crowley and Kitchin's (2008) analysis of modes of containment of "decent girls" in Ireland's postindependence era and analysis of the regulation of consumers' choices in commercial space such as malls (Voyce 2003), disciplinary power entails techniques of power such as intense surveillance so that each individual will engage in conformist practices and behavior. Disciplinary power can be direct or more subtle and less deterministic to allow for Downloaded by [Umeå University Library] at 19:18 16 November 2014 multiple outcomes, as in Allen's (2006) account of ambient power in commercial space.…”

“…On the other hand, in the shopping mall, controlling the whole based upon notions of perfectibility, rationality and/or efficiency is the modus operandi (Goss, 1993;Mitchell, 2006;Voyce, 2003). The inevitable consequence of a drive for perfection is stasis and standardisation (Crawford, 1992).…”

The metropolis can be understood as a complex adaptive system made up of complex adaptive subsystems that agglomerated to help create the city's strength, resilience and dynamism. In particular, the accumulated strength and dynamism of the individual neighbourhoods that form and evolve its districts and the districts that form its regions have major impacts on the organisation and evolution of the metropolis. This article discusses the subsystems of the city, in particular its regional, district and neighbourhood transaction places or activity centres. While all metropolitan areas are complex adaptive systems, many urban subsystems constructed in the post-World War II period are not. They are instead chaotic or controlled by mechanical order. It will be argued that only the traditional 'commons' has the principles required of complex adaptive systems and that being such confers many benefits to the communities they serve.

“…Various studies of shopping malls for example explore how they are governed through a combination of the private property right to exclude, middle class ideals and surveillance technology. The combination of subject‐object and part‐whole belonging governs the space of the mall – the right to exclude (subject‐object belonging) being supplemented by more insidious techniques that require subjects to behave in a particular way (part‐whole belonging). The result is a space in which behaviours that conform to particular middle class ideals and patterns of consumption belong and other behaviours (such as skateboarding, sleeping or begging) do not.…”

Property as Governance: Time, Space and Belonging in Australia's Northern Territory Intervention

This article analyses two cases brought by aboriginal Australians against the Australian government acquisition of long leases of their land under the Northern Territory National Emergency Response Act 2007. These leases are conspicuous, particularly in that the government always made it clear that it would not take up its right to exclusive possession of the leased land, and has not done so. The leases have not been used to evict residents, as some feared; nor to pursue mining or agricultural activity. Socio‐legal theories centered on the right to exclusive possession cannot account for these leases. The article explores the use of property under the 2007 Act, the legal geographies of the areas subject to the leases and the political potency of property beyond exclusive possession, and suggests an understanding of property as a spatially contingent relation of belonging. Specifically, the article argues that property is productive of temporal and spatial order and so can function as a tool of governance.
