ABSTRACT
Delimiting justice While marginality has long been posited as a condition of radically uneven distributions of opportunities and resources within urban life and as an instrument of urban structuration itself, to what extent are contemporary manifestations of the urban marginal to the sustenance of urban life in general? The de-skilling of urban populations, their enforced circumscription in specific socio-spatial arrangements, and the continuous wounding of bodies and their efforts that force large numbers into incessant compensations perhaps renders ecological footprints and environmental forces more salient than current preoccupations with the anthropocene.
