Zusatztext Organised around a novel treatment of the 'event' of urban life that moves between and entangles the ontological! genealogical and strategic! the book pays close attention to how normative orderings and forms and practices of control emerge out of the tangle of materialities and atmospheres that compose urban life. One of the first books to focus on the implications of the materialist and affective turns for law and justice! the result is an accomplished account of the ongoing formulation of sociolegal orders that is at once empirically rigorous and theoretically creative.? ??Ben Anderson!?Professor of Human Geography! Durham University! UKPavoni has produced a theoretically rich! nuanced and highly energising book that takes the reader on a stimulating journey through the aliveness! tensions and productive contingencies of the urban as a space of in/justice read through a fertile convergence between philosophy! geography and law. Always alive to the potential evolution of new and oppressive logics of control! and set against the horizon of the contemporary neoliberal capitalist appropriation of the city! Pavoni carves out pathways towards deeply material! ethico-politically responsive and strategically resilient justice-making encounters. Pavoni never offers false closures-never settles for easy answers-but sets out signposts towards ongoing! responsible and radically material labours of urban justice-making.Anna Grear! Professor of Law and Theory! Cardiff Law School! UK.Pavoni offers us a tightly argued and rich perceptive insight into the philosophy of event; cognisant of the resonances and implications of its complexity as it unfolds across multiple domains. Through highly detailed reflections on key concepts within Deleuze/Guattari! Foucault! and others! he presents us with a comprehensive vision of the nuanced and intricate connections between surveillance and event! ethics and the law! and the dynamics of the sociality and materiality of space. Controlling Urban Events is a significant contribution to many disciplines! not least that of the emerging field of Critical Event Studies! and warrants a wide readership and substantial reflection; it will undoubtedly stimulate considerable! and most welcome! debate.Ian R Lamond! Senior Lecturer in Event Studies! Leeds Beckett University!
