Very sneaky crimes: Squatting, urban security, and class anthropopoiesis in Milan (Italy)
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 narrat…
Looking for trouble: (Infra-)law enforcement, penal populism, and professional habitus against squatting in Italy
This paper reflects ethnographically on law enforcement against squatting in Milan. To this end, it examines labor practices, moral economies, and everyday narratives of those who work with the institutional mandate of tackling squatting in public housing. I propose to grasp these processes considering two specific political and legal configurations that traverse the arena under investigation: the entrenched presence, in the Italian context, of w…
Siamo una famiglia». Occupazioni abitative, sociétés à maisons e alienazione residenziale a Milano
A partire da una ricerca etnografica iniziata nel 2015, il saggio intende analizzare alcune peculiari forme di legami e del "farsi famiglia" nel contesto di un progetto di occupazione abitativa sito nella prima periferia di Milano. La riflessione si focalizza sul Comitato di Gestione del progetto e sulla sua struttura, proponendo un'analisi delle interconnessioni tra pratiche di squatting, legami di parentela e domesticità temporanea. L'obiettivo…
The anatomy of houses: Materialities of being at home
This introductory essay proposes a reflection that discusses, reframes, and presents the thematic section hosted in this volume, that investigates houses at the intersection between recent trends in the anthropology of the house, the study of material culture, and the investigation of contemporary socio-cultural transformations. In the first paragraph, we contextualize the growing contemporary interest in houses. In the second, following Carsten,…
Ghostly real estate: Haunting, debt and capitalist realism in Milan
Ghosts and analogous supernatural entities are pervasive cultural objects. Anthropologists have delved into the religious, social and cultural value of these presences in depth. However, the discipline does not seem to have dedicated enough energy to interpreting this phenomenon in late capitalist societies. Nevertheless, the relationship between ghosts and capitalism constitutes an object of great interest. The real estate sector seems to be par…
Expulsionscapes. Logics of Expulsion and Economies of Eviction in Milan (Italy)
Drawing on ethnographic research carried out between October 2015 and December 2016, in this article I employ an anthropological gaze to show the socially and analytically central role evictions play in the contemporary world as a mechanism for producing social exclusion, inequality and difference. In the first section, I outline some contextual elements to frame the housing issue in Italy, while in the second I bring certain conceptual and metho…
Vulnerability and Housing Policies through the Lens of Anthropology. An Introduction
The Dossier «Vulnerability and Housing Policies. Anthropological insights across Europe» is the result of a panel organized by the editors at the 15th EASA Biennial Conference hosted by Stockholm University in August 2018. In this context, we proposed to explore ethnographically housing policies as peculiar and paradigmatic forms of contemporary «regimes of mobility». Coherently to the panel target, the main theme of this Dossier is the anthropol…
