This
posting, written in Dutch and Turkish reads, No runners, drugs,
junkies, dealers or whores on our street. The statement draws
a border between those included and those excluded by staking
the claim: This is "our" neighbourhood not "yours". The city
is a contested space to be divided and conquered. Territories
and boundaries are continually circumscribed and redrawn creating
a social map in constant flux.
