“…Gayatri Spivak has used the term ‘epistemic violence’ in post-colonial studies in her popular and influential essay ‘Can the Subaltern Speak?’ (1988, cited in Bartels et al, 2019; Mangattu, 2021), ‘as a way of marking the silencing of marginalised groups’ (Dotson, 2011). Bunch (2015) states that the term stems from the concept of symbolic violence used by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, focusing on the discourse involved in practising ‘othering’ (Bunch, 2015).…”

“…Bunch (2015) states that the term stems from the concept of symbolic violence used by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, focusing on the discourse involved in practising ‘othering’ (Bunch, 2015). The term also has its roots in the work of Michel Foucault, who originally developed the idea of episteme in Western thought (Bartels et al, 2019; Mangattu, 2021).…”

This article argues that the fundamental cause for migrants’ exclusion, precarity and the othering process in the ‘smart city’ lies in the epistemic violence against them, embedded in the Smart City Mission itself, which develops the knowledge framework of ‘inclusion and exclusion’. An epistemology constructs and shapes the knowledge and ideas of smart cities and the power structures which consequently influence urban government functionaries, urban planners and officials of the Smart City Mission Project Corporation. This constructed knowledge and perception of the smart city serves the interests of the ‘middle-class citizen’ by giving overwhelming importance to smart technologies and infrastructure growth. On the other hand, it systematically disadvantages internal migrants by excluding them at several levels. This epistemic violence has successfully distorted the reality of the existence and contribution of migrants in cities and portrayed a picture of ‘feel-good cities’ pleasing their middle-class citizens. At the same time, it deflects inclusion-directed interventions which would have had a significant positive impact on the lives of the migrants. It normalises the miseries of migrants and validates the salience of urban policy in protecting migrants’ rights. Consequently, migrants experience multiple and interconnected forms of violence and victimhood in their everyday life and remain unheard.

“…Se han producido diferentes desarrollos del concepto de violencia epistémica (Bartels et al, 2019). En estudios recientes, se ha analizado la violencia epistémica como una categoría aplicable a sujetos no coloniales, es decir, a cualquier víctima de un sistema de dominación desarrollado sobre relaciones de saber / poder: La violencia epistémica, es decir, la violencia ejercida contra o a través del saber, es probablemente uno de los elementos clave en cualquier proceso de dominación.…”

This study conducted a framing analysis of how Spanish journalism represents the "Gypsy identity" within the marks of dangerousness and criminality (period 2010-18). The paper aims to validate the following underpinning hypothesis: as symbolic and epistemic violence, antigypsyism legitimises systemic racial discrimination and exclusion against the Roma people in Spain. The article is organised into five sections: first, an analytical framework introduces the notions of
