Assembling gentrification in Istanbul: The Cihangir neighbourhood of Beyoğlu
本文运用组装思维研究伊斯坦布尔吉汉吉尔社区的绅士化过程，揭示国家在看似市场主导的绅士化中的作用，并关注地方抵抗的生成潜力。
This paper aims to contribute to the gentrification literature through the potentials of assemblage thinking. We focus on gentrification in Istanbul, which represents the characteristics of both the Global South and North, and use assemblages to link together gentrification and the temporal scales of Istanbul’s urbanisation as well as geographical scales of gentrification around the world. Approaching gentrification as a continual process of transformation and emergence, we intend to illuminate how assemblages of gentrification in a historical inner-city neighbourhood, Cihangir, can be produced and reproduced in the trajectory of this neighbourhood. In so doing, we reveal and explore the role of the state in seemingly market-led gentrification and draw attention to the generative potentiality in the local resistance to the recent state-led gentrification of Cihangir.
