JahrhundertL. Wacquant0Department of Sociology, 410 Barrows Hall, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA 94720, USAThis paper draws on my books <i>Urban Outcasts</i> and <i>Punishing the Poor</i>, on the transformation of the forms and policy management of marginality in advanced society, to probe the use of space as a medium for social closure and control in the city. This first part sketches a framework for the (comparative) analysis of <i>sociospatial seclusion</i>, the process whereby particular social categories and activities are corralled and isolated in a reserved and restricted quadrant of physical and social space. The second part applies this schema to present a compressed analysis of the divergent trajectories of the black American ghetto and the French working-class borough in the post-Fordist age anchored by the three spatially inflected concepts of ghetto, hyperghetto and anti-ghetto. It concludes by stressing the role of the state in directing processes of seclusion at the top and at the bottom of the urban order, along a gradient from constraint to choice.http://www.geogr-helv.net/69/89/2014/gh-69-89-2014.pdf
