WhatsApp With the State: Digital Modernity and Network Politics in Lima's Peripheries
This article describes how digital technologies shape low-income urban Peruvians' experiences of the state as well as how longstanding state-society relationships inform the uptake and use of diverse digital technologies. To date, most scholarship on the digitalization of government has reinforced a dyadic imaginary of state-society relations: Either emphasizing the ways these technologies facilitate state efforts to administer and control societ…
Use, Exchange, and Speculation: The Politics of Inhabitance and the Right to the City in Urban Peru
The protagonist of Lefebvre's 'Right to the City' is the citaden, a citizen-denizen whose rights are produced through residency and incumbent contributions to everyday urban life. Yet, in the shantytowns of Lima where people have long believed that residency generates rights, what it means to 'do residency' (hacer vivencia) is itself contested. Drawing on twenty-one months of fieldwork in the Limeño shantytown of Pachacútec, Peru, I show that 'in…
Housing the Contingent Life Course: Domestic Aspiration and Extreme Poverty in Peruvian Shantytowns
Peru's urban peripheries have long been shaped by the intertwining of urban development policies with Peruvians' domestic aspirations.

Residency Counts and Housing Rights: Conflicting Enactments of Property in Lima's Central Margins
In a shantytown in Lima, who counts as a resident depends on who is counting. Drawing on 21 months of ethnographic fieldwork in a Peruvian "self-help" housing community, I show how censuses and surveys are woven into residency determinations and negotiations over property rights. In these contexts, "residency" is not a self-evident status but rather a complex performance that involves possessing the right kind of need, participating in developmen…
