Title RETHINKING GENTRIFICATION: THE ANALYSIS OF ARTISTIC SPACE AND VIOLENCE IN ISTANBUL
Summary This study focuses on a violent event that took place in Istanbul; by analyzing this specific case, it aims to offer a new reading of gentrification and right to the city. Unlike most of the gentrification studies, analysis of this event presents a revanchist neighborhood that is actively preventing other’s right to the city. In this context, gentrification uncovers the deep rooted disputes and intolerance, resulting in a sudden outburst of urban violence. Through the reading of the various arguments and debates on this case, this analysis shows that urban space is a difference machine that produces intolerance and violence.
