Sommario/riassunto

"In The Gentrification of Nightlife and the Right to the City, Hae explores how nightlife in New York City, long associated with various subcultures of social dancing, has been recently transformed as the city



has undergone the gentrification of its space and the post-industrialization of its economy and society. This book offers a detailed analysis of the conflicts emerging between newly transplanted middle-class populations and different sectors of nightlife actors, and how these conflicts have led the NYC government to enforce "Quality of Life" policing over nightlife businesses. In particular, it provides a deep investigation of the zoning regulations that the municipal government has employed to control where certain types of nightlife can or cannot be located. Hae demonstrates the ways in which these struggles over nightlife have led to the "gentrification of nightlife," while infringing on urban inhabitants' rights of access to spaces of diverse urban subcultures, their "right to the city." The author also connects these struggles to the widely documented phenomenon of the increasing militarization of social life and space in contemporary cities, and the right to the city movements that have emerged in response. The story presented here involves dynamic and often contradictory interactions between different anti/pro-nightlife actors, illustrating what "actually existing" gentrification and post-industrialization looks like, and providing an urgent example for experts in related fields to consider as part of a re-theorization of gentrification and post-industrialization"--

Sommario/riassunto

L’ouvrage interroge la notion de marranisme dans une perspective large et comparatiste, au-delà du crypto-judaïsme. On retrouve en effet dans les aires civilisationnelles des trois grandes religions du Livre le même phénomène de « marranisme religieux », à savoir des familles ou des communautés manifestant en apparence la foi de leurs concitoyens, mais qui en réalité judaïsaient, christianisaient ou islamisaient en secret. Ce phénomène a existé dans le monde chrétien, avec le marranisme proprement dit – à savoir des crypto-juifs en pays catholiques – mais aussi avec les phénomènes liés au devenir de catholiques en terre protestante – comme aux Provinces-Unies – ou des îlots réformés en terre catholique romaine… Mais il a existé aussi dans le monde islamique, avec certains chrétiens orientaux, en particulier sous les Almohades, en Afrique du Nord et en Espagne (XIIe- XIIIe siècles) – jusque dans l’Empire ottoman, avec l’avatar du frankisme et du sabbataïsme que furent les Dönmeh d’origine juive. Ceci a induit



des pratiques sociales et religieuses particulières, des emprunts, des syncrétismes, une culture du secret et de la dissimulation, des appartenances fluides, la naissance de sectes ou d’hérésies et, surtout, une remarquable aptitude à passer des rites et pratiques d’une religion à l’autre, et donc d’un corpus doctrinal à l’autre.
