San Diego's Hybrid Urban Borderlands
An Urban Landscape- and Border-Theoretical Approach to the Inner-Ring Redevelopment of America’s Finest City
Book series
Spaces – Borders – Hybridities
Within the context of the breakdown of unequivocality through cultural and social hybridizations, through the partial merging and reorganization of the local, regional, national, and global, borders as well as spatial references are losing their clarity and binding character. Supranational migration flows also have an impact on local areas. The metropolization of the world follows global patterns and manifests itself very differently on a local level. And culturality, diversity, and gender also elude an analysis level which can be located easily. Overall, diverse and differentiated inclusion and exclusion processes go hand in hand with different types of upheavals. New borders are drawn, questioned, and changed – physically, culturally, socially, politically, mentally, etc. – while at the same time, patterns of distinction that once appeared to be clear, become blurred. Fields of in-betweens and both/ands arise, in which hybridizations take place. These ambiguities sometimes trigger fear and, in turn, lead to a feeling of longing for unequivocality.
The series “Spaces – Borders – Hybridities” from Springer VS offers an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary forum aimed at sociology, cultural and literary studies, geography, border studies and other related disciplines. The aim is to focus on complex processes of change from a contemporary as well as historical perspective and to conceptualize borderings and hybridizations. The overarching theme is a constructivist approach, in which the “fabrication” and changeability of spaces, borders, and cultures is emphasized and analyzed.An Urban Landscape- and Border-Theoretical Approach to the Inner-Ring Redevelopment of America’s Finest City
