Privileged Precarity: How the Mobile Middle Class Leverage Housing Insecurity as Labour Market Strategy
How does the ability to weather insecurity give some an upper-hand over others? This paper examines the interrelationship between housing and labour market precarity among middle class young professionals. Drawing on interviews with residents of co-living schemes-for-profit shared housing where tenants are on temporary rental contracts-it explores how residential precarity is strategically leveraged in pursuit of tumultuous careers in the knowled…
Hyperscaling Housing: Venture Capital, Real Estate Start‐Ups and the Race to Build a Global Residential Brand
What happens when venture capitalists try to reinvent housing in their own image? Synonymous with the rise of Big Tech, venture capitalists (VCs) are asset managers that invest in early‐stage companies, pursuing aggressive growth and market domination. Since the 2008 financial crisis, VCs have poured huge sums into real estate start‐ups. Yet these actors are largely overlooked in the housing financialization and platform real estate literature. A…
The non-death of Adam Neumann: Alt-exiting, serial-founding, and failing up in Silicon Valley venture capital
Adam Neumann surely ranks among the most disgraced corporate leaders of our time. The former WeWork founder and CEO, who was ousted from the company in 2019, became emblematic of the corporate excesses and hollow boosterism of post-dotcom Silicon Valley. In the public imagination his name is synonymous with failure and fraud. But to the outrage of many he is back on the scene, securing unprecedented backing from venture capital titan Andreessen H…

Housing disruptions: Six conceptual entry points for analysing the digital transformation of housing and home
From tenants to subscribers: Digital experiments in residential rent extraction
Rent relations from landed property are increasingly being leveraged for experimentation with new forms of value capture via digital technologies. Inspired by platform corporations, real estate actors are constantly trialling innovations for deepening and extending residential rent extraction. This paper sheds light on these mounting experiments using the case of co-living, a real estate sector with a strong elective affinity to corporate capital…
Housing ideology and urban residential change: The rise of co-living in the financialized city
This article develops the concept of housing ideology in order to analyze the rise of co-living. Housing ideology refers to the dominant ideas and knowledge about housing that are used to justify and legitimize the housing system and its place within the broader political economy. Co-living is the term for privately operated, for-profit multiple occupancy rental housing. The article argues that the rise of co-living is supported by four key ideol…
Beds for rent
Housing has long been the quintessential rentier asset. But under financialized capitalism its enrolment into accumulation dynamics has greatly intensified. As investors increasingly turn to residential real estate in search of corporate rents, the logic of assetization is reaching novel locations in the housing process – extending to new scales, metrics and micro-morphologies. This paper argues one such novel location is that most intimate and f…
The Growing Trend of Living Small: A Critical Approach to Shrinking Domesticities
Shrinking domesticity: Are ‘tiny homes’ the perfectly packaged answer to the global housing crisis
Life in London’s changing densities
Despite reaching ever higher densities, London’s new residential blocks and towers are evermore exclusive and unaffordable. The current market-led era of high-density housing development contrasts acutely with that of the postwar era, geared around the mass provision of council homes. These changing densities are often discussed at the city level, but there has been little research capturing residents’ perspectives. This paper aims to draw parall…
The Fall of the Celtic Tiger: Ireland and the Euro Debt Crisis
This book offers the most scholarly account to date of Ireland's economic crash. Donovan and Murphy integrate evidence from secondary journalistic accounts, the Nyberg and Honohan reports, as well
The Lower Pleistocene lithic assemblage from Dursunlu (Konya), central Anatolia, Turkey
Homo erectus leaving Africa a million years ago ought to have passed through the area that is now Turkey, and the authors report a first certain sighting of human activity of this date in a lignite quarry near Konya. The remains of rhino, hippo and horse were found with 135 modified quartz implements in layers dated by palaeomagnetic reversal to between 0.78 and 0.99 million years ago
Early Pleistocene Homo erectus fossils from Konso, southern Ethiopia
Homo erectus has been broadly defined to include fossils from Africa, Asia, and possibly Europe, or restricted to a supposedly confined Asian clade. Recently discovered fossils of H. erectus are allowing new insights into aspects of its evolution, such as the timing and mode of the species' emergence in Africa and its relationship to Asian populations. However, the currently available African record predating 1.0 Ma is poor, consisting of the Tur…

Neanderthal Cannibalism at Moula-Guercy, Ardèche, France
The cave site of Moula-Guercy, 80 meters above the modern Rhone River, was occupied by Neanderthals approximately 100,000 years ago. Excavations since 1991 have yielded rich paleontological, paleobotanical, and archaeological assemblages, including parts of six Neanderthals. The Neanderthals are contemporary with stone tools and faunal remains in the same tightly controlled stratigraphic and spatial contexts. The inference of Neanderthal cannibal…
