  • Profile

    Dr. Rivke Jaffe is Professor of Urban Geography at the Department of Human Geography, Planning and International Development Studies and the Centre for Urban Studies within the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research. Prior to joining the UvA, she held teaching and research positions at Leiden University, the University of the West Indies, and the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV).

    Connecting geography, anthropology and cultural studies, her research focuses primarily on intersections of the urban and the political, and specifically on the spatialization and materialization of power, difference and inequality within cities. She is interested in how urban problems such as poverty, crime and environmental degradation are linked to social differentiation along lines of ethnicity, class and gender. How are these inequalities constructed, reproduced and transformed through urban policy, market forces and social movements? How does the (colonial) past shape the cities of today? What is the role of popular culture - music, video clips, murals, graffiti - in the ways we experience and communicate urban exclusion and solidarity? Rivke's engagement with these concerns is motivated by the conviction that urban studies can provide important insights into what divides and what unites us, into the social problems we face and the solutions that are possible.

    Rivke is a member of De Jonge Akademie of the KNAW (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences). She is web editor of the International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, co-editor of the European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies and editorial board member of American Anthropologist and City & Society.

    Research projects

    Security assemblages (website here)

    Rivke is Principal Investigator of a research program (2013-2019) on public-private security assemblages in Kingston, Jerusalem, Miami, Nairobi and Recife. This research, funded by an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant and a Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) VIDI grant, has been investigating how governance and citizenship change, as non-state security actors take on an increasingly important role in policing urban spaces and populations. The research team has also been studying how non-human entities, from weapons to digital technologies, mediate urban security provision. In addition to considering the consequences of security privatization and pluralization, we have been developing more-than-human geographies of protection, studying the political role of various technologies, material objects, and spiritual entities. Rivke's own fieldwork within this project has been concentrating on how dogs feature in Kingston's security landscape.

    The popular culture of illegality

    In collaboration with Martijn Oosterbaan (Utrecht University), Rivke has been leading an NWO-GW funded project titled “The Popular Culture of Illegality: Criminal Authority and the Politics of Aesthetics in Latin America and the Caribbean” (2013-2019). Focusing on Jamaica, Mexico and Brazil, the research team has been studying the popular music, visual culture and material culture through which the socio‐political authority of criminal organizations is produced. The project, which is situated at the intersection of anthropology and cultural studies, connects critical aesthetic theory to research on popular culture and governmentality.

    Slum tourism

    Together with Eveline Dürr (LMU, Germany) and Gareth Jones (LSE, UK), Rivke led the NWO/DFG/ESRC ORA Plus research project “Slum Tourism in the Americas: Commodifying Urban Poverty and Violence” (2014-2018). This trilateral research project investigated tourism in low-income, high-crime areas in Kingston, Mexico City, New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on a multi-sited ethnographic approach, the research team theorized the commodification of urban poverty and violence in the context of global mobilities and urban political economies of spectacle.

    Crime and citizenship

    Rivke’s research in Jamaica has studied the complicated relationship between the postcolonial state, criminal leaders and the urban poor. This research explored how criminal organizations and the formal state share control over urban spaces and populations, and the formulations of citizenship and sovereignty that result from this. This project, “Between the Street and the State: Crime and Citizenship in Kingston, Jamaica”, was awarded a three-year NWO VENI research grant (2010-2013).

    Political ecology

    Rivke has conducted extensive fieldwork in Jamaica and Curaçao on environmentalism, urban space and the politics of difference. This research, which formed the basis of a recent monograph with Oxford University Press, forged new connections between urban and environmental anthropology, exploring the ways that concepts of pollution organize relations between raced and classed bodies and urban space. Her interest in environmental issues, and their links to colonial and elite power, have continued through work on ‘eco-chic’ consumption, the history of sanitary reform and representations of natural disasters.
