Adriana de La Peña Espinosa New Publication global South, postcolonial

IUR postdoctoral researcher Claudia Fonseca has a new publication in the digital magazine Theorising from the overlooked city titled Finding the secondary or overlooked city? Some methodological reflections from a postcolonial urban scholar.

“Claudia Fonseca Alfaro’s departing point is the city of Motul in Mexico. Her essay explores the epistemological and methodological traps in analyses focusing on secondary or overlooked cities. She asks: Secondary to what? Overlooked by whom? Is the focus on overlooked cities inevitably reproducing the hierarchies that it seeks
to challenge?”
