Disclosing Elite Ecologies Methodologies For Doing Urban Elite Research

Disclosing Elite Ecologies Methodologies For Doing Urban Elite Research

Disclosing elite ecologies: Methodologies for Doing Urban Elite Research offers a set of methodologies to chart urban elites. Whereas most research has focused on the global super-rich this book pays specific attention to the multidimensional urban geographies of elite reproduction and transformation as elites depend on urban contexts for capital accumulation consumption and leisure and housing. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the topic contributing authors discuss various theoretical and methodological antecedents in urban studies and related areas of research that have investigated economic elites. Building on but also moving beyond these bodies of literature the book rejects a-priori definitions of the size and shape of this social group and instead pursues relational place specific conceptualizations of elite composition and behavior. In particular the contributions to the volume show that urban elite research benefits from paying more attention to: (i) boundary work between elites and non-elites; (ii) intra-elite competition and distinction; (iii) national state spaces in determining elite composition; and (iv) the urban sense of belonging of economic elites. This extensive volume provides readers with various empirical inroads into the study of urban elites drawing on research set in Brussels Fez London Lyon Madrid Manchester Milan New York City Paris and Porto Alegre. Taking inspiration from urban and economic geography elite theory and urban sociology cultural sociology political economy anthropology criminology architecture and migration studies this book aims to open up the opportunity for methodological cross-fertilization. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Urban Geography. | Disclosing Elite Ecologies Methodologies For Doing Urban Elite Research
