This article employs the notion of chronopolitics (Klinke 2013 [1]) to explore the place of disaster events within urban politics. A chronopolitics of disaster focuses on both governmental manipulation of the post-disaster space and the use of memory in resisting longstanding patterns of urban spatial segregation and forced removal: the creation and embodiment of alternative narratives of time and space to those mobilized by hegemonic actors. We draw here on the aftermath of calamitous landslides in favelas in Rio de Janeiro in 2010, during which 67 people died. In the wake of this traumatic event, the state moved quickly to close down political openings produced by the tragedy (Edkins 2006 [2]), focussing public attention on ‘future risk’ in order to put in place a rapid “recall” to favela displacement; a constant in Rio's politics since the early twentieth century. While changes in urban land formalisation and rights since the 1980s positioned forced displacement as an exception, we argue here that the much newer reductive vision of favelas as ‘at-risk’ places enables a return to the sovereign right to displace them. By working within a “time out of joint” (Zebrowski 2013: 213 [3]), the municipality established a dominant narration of city history that reinforces favelas as the principle problem facing urban politics, making displacement inevitable. The disaster event, then, elevates the politics of emergency response to a category of exceptionality in the post-dictatorship period, and lays the foundation for a renewed favela politics: a chronopolitics of disaster. The paper inductively expands the concept of chronopolitics, a politics of time, to analyse how calamitous events are used to normalise the exceptional, and how trauma and memory challenge narratives inspired by modern aspirations of a Rio without favelas.

本文采用时间政治学的概念（Klinke 2013 [1]）来探讨灾难事件在城市政治中的位置。灾难的年代政治既关注政府对灾后空间的操纵，也关注利用记忆来抵制长期存在的城市空间隔离和强制迁移模式：创造和体现霸权行为者动员的时间和空间的替代叙事。我们在这里描绘了 2010 年里约热内卢贫民窟发生灾难性山体滑坡的后果，在此期间 67 人死亡。在这次创伤性事件之后，国家迅速采取行动关闭由悲剧产生的政治开放（Edkins 2006 [2]），将公众注意力集中在“未来风险”上，以便迅速“召回”贫民窟移位; 里约的一个常数' 二十世纪初以来的政治。虽然自 1980 年代以来城市土地正规化和权利的变化将被迫迁移定位为例外，我们在此争辩说，将贫民窟视为“处于危险中”的地方的更新的简化愿景使人们能够回归主权以取代它们。通过在“不合时宜”（Zebrowski 2013: 213 [3]）内开展工作，市政府建立了一种主要的城市历史叙述方式，将贫民窟作为城市政治面临的主要问题加以强化，从而使流离失所不可避免。因此，灾难事件将应急响应政治提升为后独裁时期的一类特殊情况，并为新的贫民窟政治奠定了基础：灾难的时间政治。这篇论文归纳地扩展了时间政治学的概念，时间政治学，以分析灾难性事件如何被用来使例外正常化，以及创伤和记忆如何挑战没有贫民窟的里约现代愿望所激发的叙事。
