Title

Urban Politics and the Informality of Waste Picking in Tehran

Pages

  1-32

Abstract

 The present study aimed to study the relationship between Urban Politics and informal life of waste pickers in Tehran. The method of the study was case study and various observation and interviewing tools along with document analysis have been used. Urban policies in the area of urban space representation is dominated by discourses of development, modernism, and beautification. The results identified two patterns of criminological and pathological representation of informal life of waste pickers in urban space. Spatial Practices operate in two forms of disciplinary and elimination policies. Disciplinary policies include timing, placing, selection-monitoring and normalization policies. These policies operate through boundary management (or territorial sovereignty) and the ongoing movement of urban government between the formal and informal arenas and in case of violation, it shifts to punitive policies. Elimination policies also occur periodically during alliances between organizations involved in urban governance and in times of coalition failure between the public and private sectors. Spatial Practices work with three goals of earning profit, securing authority, and restoring lost organizational legitimacy for urban governance. The nature of urban policies around the informal life of waste pickers can be considered as a model of informal governance with the main elements of the rule of borderline governance. In contrast, waste pickers apply patterns of obvious and hidden Resistances in their living spaces with the aim of delegitimizing of sources of power and recognition of themselves.
