Abstract
ABSTRACT Movement through spaces defined by segregation and mixing is a distinguishing feature of divided urban settings. Contributing to themes of the everyday and spatial understandings in peace research, this paper introduces civil sanctuaries. In divided urban settings these spaces of sanctuary are framed by civility, where people encounter one another across division while seemingly compartmentalising outward signs of disrespect. Through a case study of the Belfast Giants and SSE Arena, this article highlights clearly marked territory which differentiates itself from divisive norms and rhetoric, filtering who is welcome, and the notion of giving pause to routinised practices in divided settings.
