【演講簡介】
The Right to Be Counted: The Urban Poor and the Politics of Resettlement in Delhi 一書探討德里的城市貧民如何逐步要求他們的房屋以及市民身份之權利，以獲得當地政府的重視。本書描繪了要記錄貧民之數據存在以及可見度的這項任務是如何地與策略和反策略相關，其中包括：中間人的政治調解、為了證明貧民之存在與真確性的文獻性及書寫性鬥爭、對政府將貧民身份分類之質疑的法律對抗、還有各種文化表達和反抗戰略。本書亦透過梳理社會、政治和經濟關係，追溯德里貧民如何在城市取得一席之地；並透過分析複雜的數據性治理及一系列的政治表達，提供一個自下而上的視角，看見貧民政治如何與空間配置、社會分歧和城市中的社會運動者進行交織。

Brief
The Right to Be Counted: The Urban Poor and the Politics of Resettlement in Delhi examines how Delhi's urban poor, in an effort to gain visibility from the local state, incrementally stake their claims to a house and citizenship entitlements in the city. The book illustrates how the quest for documenting the numerical presence and visibility of the poor is linked to tactics and countertactics, including the mediated politics of the intermediaries, documentary and inscriptive struggles to prove existence and authenticity, legal battles to contest state categorization and classification, and numerous cultural idioms and resistance strategies. Analyzing social, political, and economic relationships alike, this book traces the ways the poor work to gain a foothold in Delhi. Along with analyzing the fraught process of calculative governmentality and an array of political idioms, the book also offers a bottom-up perspective on how the politics of the poor intersects with spatial arrangements, social cleavages, and activists in the city.
