Intimate dispossession
Slum clearance remains a central feature of state-led urban development across rapidly urbanising contexts in the Global South, yet its consequences for everyday life remain unevenly understood. Drawing on social reproduction theory and the concept of depletion, this paper examines the gendered consequences of forced relocation from informal settlement (kampungs) to social housing (rusunawa) in Jakarta, Indonesia. Based on ethnographic findings t…
Paternalistic state care and the dynamic of Covid-19 pandemic governance in Jakarta's rented social housing
The COVID-19 pandemic has reignited debates on care, exposing the vital role of social reproduction despite its ongoing devaluation. Recent studies underscore the urban marginal's multidimensional vulnerabilities during the pandemic, coupled with inadequate state support and excessive policing amid their disproportionate engagements in low-paying care work essential to the city. This study extends the literature by exploring the discourse of care…
Unravelled Homes
This article explores the contours of modernization in the unmaking and remaking of homes among evicted and resettled families in highrise housing. We examine the trajectories of forced eviction by drawing upon interviews with 17 individuals from nine evicted families who have transitioned from living in informal settlements to highrise social housing (rusunawa) in Jakarta. Drawing on two strands of literature-'developmental idealism and the fami…

Children during the Covid-19 pandemic
This Viewpoint discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Indonesian government's response, on children and young people. By adopting a geographical and socio-spatial analysis the paper discusses the extent to which the response to the crisis has aggravated the detrimental impacts of the emergency on children. We argue that the government's decision to transition to the 'new normal' was premature, endangering marginalized children who…
Towards child-inclusive concepts of childhood poverty
Supporting Children, Blaming Parents
This article explores the construction of childhood and parenthood in rural communities in Indonesia based on a series of focus group discussions with service providers, community decision makers, and paraprofessionals; a group that we refer to as "frontline providers". By examining the providers' definition of successful children and their perception of factors that could undermine a child's success, we provide insights into how frontline provid…
