Abstract
 
urban social policy and social exclusion can open a window to narrate the excluding of body and poverty from urban spaces in the city. The mainstream of Sociology does not offer a critical articulation about excluded social groups from the urban live. It usually adopts a pathological approach to the urban poor and a normative and clinical insight about the "body" throughout the moment of constructing the urban spaces. Critical reading, however, focuses on urban social policies that cause social exclusion of citizens, and for this reason, a new formulation of urban problem as well as exclusion from the city would be possible, which at the same time recognizes the moral anger of the excluded, and shows the constructing mechanisms of the criteria of "non- disabled bodies" and how "bodies" are heterogeneous to this norm and the urban poor are also excluded from the urban policy agenda. Therefore, despite the environmental and socio-economic barriers in the city, the excluded from the city become angry and rebellious activists who adopt a kind of devastating/deconstructing hermeneutics toward urban life.
Method of the research is qualitative by gathering data through interview, observation, previous researches, lived experiences of researcher and a novel. Organization of data occurred by sociological reconstructed narrations in the form of “social novels”. And in order to obtain the objectivity of the narratives, the opinions of people involved in similar situations described in the narratives or researchers in this field were taken, and the feedback was also included in the final narratives.
 Finally, the city is built for the privileged classes and non-disabled bodies, and the urban excluded groups, in accordance with the inferior hermeneutic position assigned to them in urban life, generally experience various obstacles through their daily practices and by being in urban spaces, and the city and the achievements of urban life for them, will become more "unattainable" and will creates a moral anger toward the society and leads to adoption of a destructive hermeneutic by them. Results captured that the urban excluded groups, attack the urban life ultimately because of the perceived urban injustices and inequalities therefore they achieve a deconstructing hermeneutic abbot the urban.
