“…The growth of urban enclaves and the collapse of public space have been seen as part of the ''urbanism of closure'' (Merrifield 2002:171) that manifests itself in the form of malls, corporate gardens, private parks, exclusive golf courses, and, of course, gated communities. All these privately-managed spaces have controlled access and are typically surveilled, which inhibits both formal and informal public assembly and interaction (Kohn 2004, Low & Smith 2005. Putnam, in consequence, has argued that gated communities are ''numbingly '' homogenous (2000:210).…”

“…This is true both historically in the global north (Blomley, 2007) and today in the global south (Li, 2014). The spatial relationships between law, land use, property, and the city become especially apparent via studies of the privatization of public space in both North American (Kirby, 2008;Kohn, 2004) and East Asian cities (Lee & Webster, 2006) today.…”

In this article, we draw attention to the geographies of “land use,” which to date have been underexamined and undertheorized within urban geographical literature. To do so, we review insights from a growing set of literature in geography, urban planning, law, and socio‐legal studies, among others, to outline how urban space is shaped through the relationships between land use, planning, property, and law. We first look at the relationships between land‐use planning and power relations in place. We go on to focus on the law, and the ways in which it structures and controls land use, property, and social activities in the city. We conclude by reviewing how law and legal concepts can serve as instruments of resistance and a source of alternate futures in urban spaces. In sum, we argue that a deeper interrogation of land use, and its relationships to planning, property, and law, can lead to a better understanding of how liberal‐democratic cities operate, and offer tools for resisting opaque and legalistic land‐use planning programs.

“…He ahí la proliferación de tecnologías de control y videovigilancia, el aumento de la segregación, privatización, fortificación y exclusión social (Caldeira 2007;Kohn 2004;Low 2001 (Ávila y Malo 2007: 599). En cualquier momento puede estallar la amenaza, encarnada aquí por activistas considerados peligrosos.…”

RESUMENEl cuerpo es para el activismo contemporáneo el primer territorio de resistencia. Mediante una etnografía multisituada, desarrollada de 2008 a 2012 en España y otros países europeos, el análisis de sus usos políticos permitirá pasar de las «técnicas del cuerpo» (observadas por Mauss) a las tácticas del cuerpo. Además, en un contexto internacional de crisis política y socioeconómica, la ciudad se vuelve no solo el escenario de la acción, sino aquello que está en juego. El objetivo es comprender las resistencias del activismo con base en las interrelaciones del cuerpo y la ciudad, sabiendo que cuanto más se extiende esta última más importancia adquiere el primero. De la antiglobalización a movimientos recientes como el 15M, el cuerpo y la ciudad ganan un peso considerable.Palabras clave: Tácticas del cuerpo; Activismo; Resistencia; Ciudad; Etnografía; Técnicas del cuerpo. SUMMARYFor contemporary activism, the body is the first territory for resistance. From a multi-sited ethnography conducted in Spain and other European countries from 2008 to 2012, analysis of its political uses will lead us from the «techniques of the body» (as studied by Mauss) to tactics of the body. Moreover, in an international context of political and socio-economic crisis, the city becomes not only the scene of the action but is itself at stake. The challenge is to understand the resistance of activism based on the interrelationships of the body and the city, in the knowledge that the further the latter spreads, the greater the significance acquired by the former. From anti-globalisation to recent movements like 15M, the body and the city are gaining a remarkable importance.
