Wacquant's primary aim here is to define and explain racial domination in the United States, as well as the institutional transformation undergone by the African-American ghetto caught in the wave of uprisings that swept through the metropolis in the 1960s. The second goal of his analysis is to distill elements for a sociological sketch of advanced marginality from the similarities and differences exhibited by America's \"hyperghettos\" and France's declining \"urban peripheries.\" What Wacquant means by advanced marginality is the new order in which social and spatial exile and exclusionary confinement emerge in post-Fordist cities as a result of the unequal development of capitalist economies and the shrinking of welfare states. Wacquant emphasizes that the deteriorating American ghetto of the early 90s and the French working-class suburbs are historical wholes and argues that they should not be artificially frozen within static typologies. For, according to Wacquant, the American ghetto and French working-class suburbs should not be viewed as self-sustaining structures outside the intersection of market, state, class, and ethnicity factors. According to Wacquant, these factors permeate the physical space, constantly weaving these neighborhoods. Wacquant's analysis provides an inventory of urban marginality and an assessment of the forces that shape it, thereby contributing to the historical sociology of our time. It also establishes a conceptual and empirical foundation for deciphering observed or assumed evolutions from past to present.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Boğaziçi Üniversitesi Yayınevi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39408964305091,"sku":"9786054238668","price":65.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9786054238668.jpg?v=1616017392"},{"product_id":"kent-sinif-iktidar","title":"City, Class, Power","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book, written by Castells in the late 1970s, remains relevant today. In this study, focusing on urban struggles, particularly in France and the United States, and their potential to transform into urban social movements, the author demonstrates that a comprehensive analysis of cities can only be achieved by understanding the relationships between social class, politics, and power. Castells emphasizes that a secondary structural contradiction is deepening in the realm of collective consumption (housing, education, health, culture, commerce, transportation), which underlies the daily lives of all social groups, and that this contradiction is gaining increasing importance in social organization and can initiate a process of change through social movements. Castells states that the deepening contradictions in the field of collective consumption and the crisis experienced by the state in this area affect not only the working class but all strata of society;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The housing crisis extends far beyond the working class; the public transport crisis concerns everyone who has to go to work every day; the lack of nurseries and care homes affects all women. The social and functional segregation of space benefits only a small minority of the ruling elite; pollution, meanwhile, largely constitutes an indivisible problem. Yet if these antagonisms affect a large part of society, they are not inevitably 'natural' outcomes peculiar to the 'urban environment'; they are determined by historically defined social relations. The contradictions that arise in societies such as ours, in this particular form, stem from the capitalist organization of production and consumption and from state intervention, largely dominated by the power bloc formed around the dominant fraction of finance capital. (...) Therefore, the relationship between the city and power is at the heart of the current urban problematic, for if power shapes the city, the movements it engenders will also play a strategic role in the transformation of power.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Yayınevi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39408966664387,"sku":"9786054657964","price":360.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/products\/9786054657964.jpg?v=1616017415"},{"product_id":"kent-sosyolojisi_350677-html","title":"Urban Sociology","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eUrban sociology encompasses sociological studies pertaining to various social groups, institutions, relationship networks, socialized spaces within the city—in short, to urban society.

Urban ecology uses methods that ensure conservation-use balance and plans that are compatible with ecological parameters for new development areas, determined by national and regional development models.

The 19th century witnessed the conflict of two opposing views in the context of restoration and preservation. The first of these views belonged to Viollet-le-Duc, who aimed to bring the monument to its pure style, and the second to John Ruskin, who said that we have no right to touch a historical building in any way. For John Ruskin, the monument had to die; its beautiful death would serve as an example for future architects. In the background of Ruskin's thoughts lies the 'ruin culture' and 'ruin aesthetic' whose roots go back to the 17th century. The 18th century became the century when 'ruin culture' reached its peak. Diderot, after visiting a Salon consisting of ruin paintings, said, 'To make a monument interesting, it must be turned into a ruin.' The English architect John Soane transformed this culture into the main concept of the museum he founded, carrying the ruin aesthetic into the next century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThus, behind Georg Dehio's words, 'The right thing is not to restore, but to preserve,' there is the intellectual result of a three-century process expressed in Ruskin. Aloïs Riegl systematizes this perspective with his own conceptualizations in 'Modern Cult of Monuments.'\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Litera Yayıncılık","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46880494026995,"sku":"9786256368132","price":385.0,"currency_code":"TRY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/3950\/7395\/files\/result-kent-kurami-on-kapak.png?v=1747320122"},{"product_id":"i̇stisna-mekan-hukukun-esigindeki-kent","title":"The Space of Exception: The City on the Threshold of Law","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA unique conceptualization of philosophy, law, and the city from Tayfun Kahraman\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sovereign is the one who decides on the state of exception.
