Introduction

In this brief addendum, we offer a short guide to more literature that those interested, or working, in the night-time might find useful. We do so to stress once again that the field of night studies is thriving and expanding well beyond disciplinary boundaries, based between academia and practice, as well as to stress that ‘non-traditional outputs’ (as academic parlance puts it) are as valuable here as many excellent scholarly treatises. Practically, we present here a short, annotated bibliography of some samples from this burgeoning variety of material. We start with general introductions to night studies, and then follow on with specific investigations of night-time politics and planning. That is coupled with a note on current and recent (as of early 2021) night-time policy and non-governmental initiatives, as well as another reminder of the centrality that work on night-time inequalities plays in this field of research and action. In short, there are many terrific night scholars, advocates and practitioners out there that we strongly encourage the reader to go and meet for more after-hours explorations in the exciting, and socially urgent, spaces that night-time governance opens. We also encourage coupling these additional written sources with a short introductory podcast series that we produced, titled ‘Cities After Dark’ – available open access from the University of Melbourne’s Connected Cities podcast on all major podcasting apps – for a hopefully insightful, more atmosphere-setting and conversational introduction to night-time studies that features many of the authors illustrated in the following.

A thriving literature (not just scholarship)

Our main goal in this primer has been to offer an accessible and practitioner-friendly introductory guide to the governance of cities at night-time. As noted and widely referenced throughout this volume, there are several texts already published to which this book can be placed as a companion. Some of these present important, if not foundational, readings in the literature, scholarly and otherwise, when it comes to ‘night studies’. Of course, several of these books, reports and articles take either a specifically disciplinary standpoint or a particular normative stance in the context of their own scholarly debates and specific sociocultural contexts. Yet, as a whole, they clearly testify to a growing mass of valuable insights on night-time issues in cities. We focus here on pointing towards those that, in our view, are most directly connected to issues of urban governance at night, being conscious that the list would otherwise become an unwieldy mix and more than we could do justice to in our relatively limited-length primer.

Of course, those wishing to engage more widely with the night in cities could do so by building on an increasingly fertile ground. Scientific research on the night-time is scattered across academia and certainly ripe for a more holistic and cross-cutting engagement. Some disciplines have long-standing traditions of investigating specific night-time issues, and this is not just the purview of the social sciences. This is evident in many science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) areas (for example, Lee, 2013; Finkel, 2018), from work on the shifting circadian rhythms that govern our ‘body clocks’, to the bioscientific study of night-time animals (Davies et al, 2013). Experimental, albeit perhaps for the most part dissociated, work is emerging in the social sciences and humanities too, and the dialogue between these considerations and those in STEM areas has encouraging antecedents even in more public science debates, for instance, as in the dedicated special issues of National Geographic and New Scientist in 2018 and 2013, respectively. Geographers have turned to theorizing the impact of varying degrees of darkness on society, as well as to analysing night-time leisure (Chatterton and Hollands, 2003; Edensor, 2015; Gandy, 2017). Anthropological studies of night-time events like festivals and markets (for example, Jordan et al, 2004; Tinat, 2005) have been studied as an approach to understanding social dynamics. There is a long tradition in cultural studies of ‘night walking’ (Beaumont, 2015) and ‘place hacking’ (Garrett, 2013), as well as literature on darkness and the night. In short, there are plenty of interesting pockets of night-related research across a vast variety of disciplinary approaches. Here, we tease out a short collection of those more directly relevant for the discussions of our volume.

We do not intend the following list to be a definitive reader of night-time studies, for, as we underscore later, there are emerging collections far better placed than our confined effort within this specific volume. At the same time, we also encourage readers to make a concerted and explicit effort to hear and engage with the voices of those whose night-time experiences have taken place in the likes of Latin America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East and so forth, which, at times, are lacking from the major reference points of the literature in night studies. Likewise, we underscore here the important lesson that much of the discussion on night-time governance also requires us to keep up with academically non-traditional outputs. There are a plethora of examples beyond the more standard scholarly canons of books and journal articles that now speak to how the night-time practice (and studies) conversation is evolving. Rather, we would stress the importance of keeping an eye on and a keen ear towards alternative forms of national and international discussion, debate and exchange, as highlighted later. This is perhaps the most common shape of the current urban night debate beyond specific disciplinary economic policy interventions, and where most of the international encounter about the night-time takes place. In that spirit, as we flag later, we have also added a companion podcast series to this book, which both expands and takes a deeper dive into many of the issues and places discussed in the book. We have made the series publicly available free of charge and encourage the reader to consider the series and this volume to go hand in hand in our effort towards an introduction to night-time governance in cities.

General introductions to night-time studies

  • Crary, J. (2013) 24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep. London: Verso Books.

  • Shaw, R. (2018) The Nocturnal City. London: Routledge.

  • Dunn, N. and Edensor, T. (eds) (2020) Rethinking Darkness: Cultures, Histories, Practices. London: Routledge.

Night-time research, as noted earlier, spans widely across the academy. Within the specific context of cities-focused (‘urban studies’) or cities-relevant approaches that have dealt with the issues we tackle in this book, there are a few useful texts – of very different styles – that we would point the reader to. Crary’s (2013) book is centred on the neoliberal colonization of the night-time by an increasingly ‘24/7’ society. Shaw’s (2018) more recent book is an in-depth discussion, with a quite extensive theoretical backing, of the ‘frontier’ quality of the night-time and the benefits of a ‘nightology’ for urban studies, in dialogue with discussions of ‘planetary urbanization’ (Brenner, 2014). It is also the one of these three with some important engagement with non-Western contexts (for example, Taiwan). All three embody elements of progressive critique that we embedded in several of our chapters and eight concluding propositions. Shaw’s volume also offers an accessible summary of the development of the NTE tradition and its mainly UK-based roots, subjecting it to some useful critique as to the language and limitations it carries. Lastly, Dunn and Edensor’s (2020) recent collection takes both a broader disciplinary angle as to night-time challenges and a more specific approach focusing more directly on the social, cultural and political underpinnings of darkness. It is also worth considering that a debate on what ‘night studies’ might be (or ‘nightology’ as Shaw puts it) has also led to a few recent pieces, including our own, on this front, for example:

  • Gwiazdzinski, L., Maggioli, M. and Straw, W. (2018) Geographies of the night. From geographical object to night studies. Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana serie, 14: 9–22.

  • Acuto, M. (2019) We need a science of the night. Nature, 576(7787): 339.

  • Kyba, C., Pritchard, S.B., Ekirch, A.R., Eldridge, A., Jechow, A., Preiser, C., Kunz, D., Henckel, D., Hölker, F., Barentine, J. and Berge, J. (2020) Night matters. Why the interdisciplinary field of ‘night studies’ is needed. Multidisciplinary Scientific Journal, 3(1): 1–6.

Gwiazdzinski, Maggioli and Straw’s (2018) article offers a more specific reflection on the emergence of ‘night studies’ and how the discussions on cultural, political and material (and more) geographies of the night have been coalescing into a common conversation. We have engaged in this conversation ourselves (Acuto 2019) by stressing the need for a similar level of dialogue and experimentation across the STEMM–humanities–social sciences divides, with an eye on practical applicability – a theme of multidisciplinarity also picked up by Kyba and colleagues (2020), arguing as to why ‘night studies’ is needed today.

Investigations of night-time politics and planning

  • Hadfield, P. (2014) The night time city. Four modes of exclusion. Urban Studies, 52(3): 606–16 – and more generally the whole 2015 special issue of Urban Studies 52(3), entitled ‘Geographies of the urban night’.

  • Mateo, J.N. and Eldridge, A. (eds) (2018) Exploring Nightlife: Space, Society and Governance. London: Rowman and Littlefield.

  • Straw, W. (2018) Afterword: night mayors, policy mobilities and the question of night’s end. In Mateo, J.N. and Eldridge, A (eds) Exploring Nightlife: Space, Society and Governance. London: Rowman & Littlefield, pp 225–31.

  • Seijas, A. and Gelders, M.M. (2021) Governing the night time city: the rise of ‘night mayors’ as a new form of urban governance after dark. Urban Studies, 58(2), 316–334.

As noted in the first few chapters of this book, there is a solid track record of research and writing that tackles more specifically questions of the urban governance and planning of the NTE, or the night-time more generally. We suggest a few of these. Mateo and Eldridge’s (2018) volume is perhaps the most recent counterpart to our effort and an important demonstration of the collegiality of the current night studies discussion. It is an edited collection centred on offering a variety of different disciplinary perspectives, mainly across the social sciences, as to ‘nightlife’. Straw’s afterword in this volume is particularly poignant for our book and conversation. Here, it stresses the global emergence of NTE governance, its underlying policy mobilities and agendas, and the need for greater attention on this front. Kelly’s (2016) book is an example of a more practitioner-oriented volume, focused on US cities, thinking through what made for a ‘recipe for success’ in the post-nine-to-five economy of the last half-century. Roberts and Eldridge’s (2012) volume, in turn, takes a more specific regulatory and planning focus, discussing issues like licensing at quite some depth (predominantly focused on the UK and other Western examples), presenting a now much-cited companion to the planning challenges of the NTE. Hadfield’s (2014) commentary on a related Urban Studies special issue on ‘Geographies of the urban night’, guest edited by Ilse van Liempt, Irina van Aalst and Tim Schwanen, is a handy counterpart to this discussion, but we strongly encourage consulting the whole issue, rich in many of the key authors that we have cited and engaged with in this book. In particular, Van Liempt’s (2015) article adds on to this a useful and more specific focus on the management style of NTE governance – a theme also tackled in Wolifson and Drozdzewski’s (2017) more recent piece. We (Seijas and Gelders, 2021) have tackled this reality more explicitly in relation to the emergence of the ‘night mayor’ phenomenon and offered an initial comparative international assessment that partly inspired (and is reflected in) this volume.

Night-time policy and non-governmental initiatives

Night-time advocacy has been thriving outside academia in the last decade. This is an important factor not to be understated when it comes to useful sources of updated information for scholars and practitioners alike, without, of course, diminishing the value of academia. From this point of view, a few resources stand out. UK-based consultancy Sound Diplomacy, with help from one of us, developed a ‘guide’ to managing the NTE in 2018 that is somewhat of a precursor to the approach we have taken here, reflecting a variety of snapshot case studies, in the Global South too. A few years earlier, international consultancy Arup put out a useful knowledge-based report as part of its Cities Alive series, aimed at grasping with more nuance the ‘shades’ of the night-time and the implications of not seeing the night as a simply monolithic entity. In our view, of course, this is imperative not only for urban design and lighting purposes, as that report was aimed at, but also for the broader sociocultural appreciation of the governance of the night-time as meaning many different things to many different stakeholders. More recently, and again with a few of us involved, a collective convened by Amsterdam/Berlin-based Vibe Lab developed a Global Nighttime Recovery Plan that exemplifies the collaborative and highly international nature of night-time practice and studies at present. The plan addresses various themes impacting night-time industries, not least with a dedicated chapter on governance, and is again freely available online (as are the other reports too). These are, of course, but three examples of the variety of useful documentation to be found out there in the thriving world of night-time advocacy and night-time studies, which we encourage readers to dive into.

  • Nicholls, E. (2018) Negotiating Femininities in the Neoliberal Night Time Economy: Too Much of a Girl? New York: Springer.

Questions surrounding inequality, the ‘right to the night’ and the impact of the NTE (and its governance) on particular social contexts are, as we have noted, critical to transforming NTE management into more progressive urban night-time governance. There is no shortage of excellent work on this front. Chatterton and Hollands’ (2003) excursus on youth cultures, Hobbs et al’s (2003) review of the securitization of entertainment in the NTE and Talbot’s (2007) discussion of race and culture regulation are all sound examples of this.

The same goes for writing like Nicholls’ (2018) book that offer particular stances, as with feminism, on how the neoliberal underpinnings of the NTE have affected urban life. That is also the more general theme of Dunn’s (2016) manifesto, which echoes many of the issues raised in the previous section by Shaw (2018). We would also encourage engaging with the prolific and progressive debates emerging from work like that of Campkin and Marshall (2018), noted in our London case study, as to the particular impact of NTE management on LGBTQI+ (or ‘queer’) dimensions of nightlife, not just as to their role in entertainment and culture, but also so as to appreciate the possibilities for inclusion that a night studies conversation can encourage.
