In Rio de Janeiro's favelas, traffickers assert power through conspicuous displays of wealth and force, brandishing high-powered guns, gold jewelry, and piles of cash and narcotics. Police, for their part, conduct raids reminiscent of action films or video games, wearing masks and riding in enormous armored cars called "big skulls." Images of these spectacles circulate constantly in local, national, and global media, masking everyday forms of violence, prejudice, and inequality. The Spectacular Favela offers a rich ethnographic examination of the political economy of spectacular violence in Rocinha, Rio's largest favela. Based on more than two years of residence in the community, the book explores how entangled forms of violence shape everyday life and how that violence is, in turn, connected to the market economy. Erika Robb Larkins shows how favela violence is produced as a marketable global brand. While this violence is projected in disembodied form through media, the favela is also sold as an embodied experience through the popular practice of favela tourism. The commodification of the favela becomes a form of violence itself; favela violence is transformed into a commercially viable byproduct of a profit-driven war on drugs, which serves to keep the poor marginalized. This book tells the story of how traffickers, police, cameras, tourists, and even anthropologists come together to create what the author calls the "spectacular favela."

Il y a pertinence à relier et opposer tout à la fois ces deux instances de la réalité de la ville : d'une part, son apparence visible, perceptible, celle qui forme le quotidien de l'habitant ; d'autre part, la connaissance des structures spatiales et sociales, des systèmes de signes, de représentations et de valeurs, des conflits et modes de domination qui se jouent ou se trament sous une apparence faussement évidente. Comment comprendre et représenter ces villes à la fois visibles et invisibles ?

We hold many assumptions about police work-that it is the responsibility of the state, or that police officers are given the right to kill in the name of public safety or self-defense. But in The Killing Consensus, Graham Denyer Willis shows how in São Paulo, Brazil, killing and the arbitration of "normal" killing in the name of social order are actually conducted by two groups-the police and organized crime-both operating according to parallel logics of murder. Based on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, Willis's book traces how homicide detectives categorize two types of killing: the first resulting from "resistance" to police arrest (which is often broadly defined) and the second at the hands of a crime "family' known as the Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). Death at the hands of police happens regularly, while the PCC's centralized control and strict moral code among criminals has also routinized killing, ironically making the city feel safer for most residents. In a fractured urban security environment, where killing mirrors patterns of inequitable urbanization and historical exclusion along class, gender, and racial lines, Denyer Willis's research finds that the city's cyclical periods of peace and violence can best be understood through an unspoken but mutually observed consensus on the right to kill. This consensus hinges on common notions and street-level practices of who can die, where, how, and by whom, revealing an empirically distinct configuration of authority that Denyer Willis calls sovereignty by consensus.

Wie trotzen Rio de Janeiros selbstgebaute Favelas ihrer Verbannung aus der offiziellen Stadt? Wie begegnen sie der Gewaltherrschaft der Drogengangs, Milizen und Militärpolizei? Kann sich ihre Jugend mit Baile-Funk-Tänzen und Hip-Hop-Lyrics die urbane Bürgerschaft erkämpfen oder verwandelt gar die Pfingstbewegung die Favela in eine Stadt Gottes? Stephan Lanz geht diesen Fragen zu Rios sozialräumlichen Peripherien anhand des foucaultschen Begriffs des Regierens nach, der jenseits des Politischen auch kulturelle und religiöse Praktiken erfasst. Nicht zuletzt zeigt er damit einige blinde Flecken der westlichen Stadtforschung bezogen auf urbane Realitäten im Globalen Süden auf.

This book focuses on ethnic and minority communities in urban contexts and the ways in which their cultures are represented in tourism development. It offers a multi-disciplinary approach which draws on examples and case studies of ethnic and minority communities and cultural tourism development from all around the world, including slums in India, favelas in Brazil, Chinatowns in Australia, Jewish quarters in Central and Eastern Europe, ethnic villages in China, the African district of Brussels, the gay quarter in Cape Town and a desert town in Israel. It offers a positive perspective on ethnic and minority cultures and communities at a time when social and political support is lacking in many countries. This book will be a useful resource for those studying and researching cultural and urban tourism, urban planning and development, community studies and urban and cultural geography.
