From the body of the abitante attiva who opens the book, this chapter broadens the lens to the urban body of Naples—a city increasingly shaped by touristification over the past decade. Drawing on urban studies and debates on touristification, it frames this process as the latest in a long series of attempts to “redeem” Naples’ underbelly. In this new phase, touristification unfolds within the broader context of austerity in Southern European cities, debt regimes, and platform capitalism. These forces deepen extractivist dynamics, enclose public space, and further strain the conditions of social reproduction. The chapter then puts forward a decolonial feminist reading of the tourist city as an unfinished and conflictual formation, produced and contested by multiple subjects in their everyday life. Methodologically, it draws on decolonial feminist activist ethnography grounded in reciprocity, relational learning, and affectedness. It concludes with a narrative account of the research journey in and with Naples’ Liberated Spaces, setting the stage for the empirical chapters that follow.
