Multifaceted Monolith
The Hidden Diversity of Mass Housing
Miles Glendinning
Present-day perspectives on the post-war era of state-sponsored social housing generally portray the movement, internationally and nationally, as one of overwhelming, alienating homogeneity. If, however, we look carefully at what was done 'on the ground', we discover a very different picture, one of subtle and almost limitless diversity. This article combines a short international overview with a single national case study, that of Great Britain. There, diversity was fostered by strong tensions between municipal and national state agencies and between production- and design-oriented professionals, many of whom were in fact employed by agencies of the state.
Very sneaky crimes
Squatting, urban security, and class anthropopoiesis in Milan (Italy)
Giacomo Pozzi
Milan is an increasingly safe city. Despite this, the insecurity perceived by citizens is growing. Particularly in social housing districts, squatting is considered by institutions, public opinion, but also by most regular residents, as one of the principle causes of urban insecurity. Based on ethnographic research conducted in Milan between 2015 and 2017, this article proposes an anthropological analysis of policies, norms, practices, and narratives related to the governance of housing illegality, showing how these representations contribute to producing a stigmatized, morally connoted, and criminalized image of squatters. In broader terms, starting with the ethnographic case of squatting, the article explores the anthropopoietic dynamics of social class construction and the centrality of moral categories in the production of urban inequality.
