ABSTRACT

Movement through spaces defined by segregation and mixing is a distinguishing feature of divided urban settings. Contributing to themes of the everyday and spatial understandings in peace research, this paper introduces civil sanctuaries. In divided urban settings these spaces of sanctuary are framed by civility, where people encounter one another across division while seemingly compartmentalising outward signs of disrespect. Through a case study of the Belfast Giants and SSE Arena, this article highlights clearly marked territory which differentiates itself from divisive norms and rhetoric, filtering who is welcome, and the notion of giving pause to routinised practices in divided settings.

摘要

通过隔离和混合定义的空间移动是分裂城市环境的一个显着特征。本文为和平研究中的日常和空间理解主题做出了贡献，介绍了民间避难所。在分裂的城市环境中，这些避难所空间是由文明构成的，人们在这里跨越分裂相遇，同时似乎将外在的不尊重迹象划分开来。通过对贝尔法斯特巨人队和 SSE 竞技场的案例研究，本文强调了明确标记的领域，该领域区别于分裂的规范和言论，过滤谁是受欢迎的，以及在分裂的环境中暂停常规做法的概念。
