Abstract
The popular portrayal of the village in the City (ViC) is aas a threatened anomaly. On TV and in photojournalism it is most often depicted as a single surviving, washed-up rural community surrounded by a sea of urban high-rises, where ex-farmers use the vestiges of their land-rights to cash in as landlords. Amsterdam based Yushi Uehara contradicts this view by describing how the Vic represents a significant form of 'dynamic resistance created in an exceptional bottom-up process'.
