Law Of Space, Space Of Law .2. Transgressive Strategies For Surviving Megalopolis

Reprise: In Part I of this article,Law of Space, Space of Law: Orientation via Goodrich and Contra Harvey, I was concerned with an orientation within the terrain of the complexities of the forces of contemporary urbanization. Specifically I analysed David Harvey's (1989) economic account of transition in urban relations and forms contrasted with that of Peter Goodrich's (1990) cultural account of an alternative critique of law utilizing concepts of movement and space. In that article, I outlined a number of themes which appear relevant in the development of an analysis of regulation within contemporary urban culture and a potential agenda in an emancipatory politics of resistance through transgression. In the present article, I develop these themes within the schema of contemporary urban cultural and sociological theory in an analysis of the processes of regulation/order and deregulation/disorder in the construction of identity, desire and community.
