| Περίληψη: | Residential segregation is for some a natural phenomenon for and for others a structurally determined problem. In contrast, integration has become a neoliberal goal or a voluntaristic approach. Several explanations of segregation are reviewed here: sociologic-historical considerations, functionalist-positivist theories and conflict-poststructuralist theories. It is argued that functionalist-positivist theories have influenced empirical studies and various ideas that shape integration policies, with an excessive reliance on the physical proximity between different social groups. Finally, in order to understand spatial transformations, beyond structuralist and naturalist views of segregation, the idea of socio- spatial dialectics and the Right-to-the- City program are taken to relocate integration as a critical and progressive claim. |
