- The welfare regime of Southern Europe, and Greece in particular, does not adequately cover the needs of its citizens. On the contrary, and within this context, family welfare has to be much more efficient. Moreover, the support received from the family imposes a sense of reciprocity, as receivers are expected to be givers in the future. This reciprocity is assisted mainly by the female members of the kin, defining to a degree their housing practices. Data for this paper is derived from a wider research project investigating young people's housing practices and family strategies through in-depth interviews in Athens, Greece. Bringing gender to the fore, it explores how the housing provision from family is impacted by the receivers' gender role in connection to family welfare obligations.

Men beneficiaries of housing and/or trapped in Greek family welfare
- 2022. - 1st

Ingår i: Men and Welfare. - Milton : Taylor & Francis Group. ; , s. 60-71

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Greek society remains deeply patriarchal with heteronormative imaginaries imposed by its institutions. Both the main welfare agents, the state and the family, reproduce gendered power relations through their absence and support, respectively. The Greek welfare state was never active enough to cover the needs of its citizens; therefore, housing, care, and other kinds of support are provided by the family even and/or especially during crises and times of austerity. Today, after over a decade of austerity measures that retrenched the already weak welfare system in Greece, the reserves of families have also reached stagnation. At the same time, gender binaries, heteronormative attitudes, and conservatism in social life in Greece are being reinforced. This chapter argues that even though both the welfare state and family welfare are gendered and privilege men’s welfare, even men as beneficiaries of family welfare are ‘obliged’ to fulfil a heteronormative imaginary to receive support. Therefore, they are both benefited as men but also trapped by traditional ideologies carried by family members and the state.

‘When housing is provided, but you have only the closet’. : Sexual orientation and family housing support in Athens

- This article explores the impact of sexual orientation on the housing practices of individuals self-identified as LGB+ in Athens, Greece. In Greece, welfare state was always inadequate to cover people’s social needs. On the contrary, the family proved to be resilient as a welfare agent covering also the housing needs of its members by employing related strategies. The support comes ‘with strings attached’, and this includes parents’ demands and wishes upon the lifestyle of the dependent children. These demands have strong gender and sexual connotations imposing a heteronormative life trajectory, which may clash with the desires of LGB+ family members. In order for them to continue receiving support they are ‘pushed’ to employ strategies regarding their ‘coming out’ or sexual identity’s concealment process. In this paper, 16 semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with a double focus: a. the housing pathway of the respondents, and b. the strategic decision of coming out or staying in the closet to benefit from the family welfare.

The housing pathways of lesbian and gay youth and intergenerational family relations : a Southern European perspective

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Against the heteronormativity of the increasing field of studies around intergenerationalfamily relations within asset-based welfare systems, the paper analyses the housing pathwaysof lesbian and gay young people, focusing on family intergenerational relations and theimplications concerning emotional, private and sexual life. The paper focuses on Greece andItaly, two countries characterized by the so-called ‘Southern European’ model of welfaresystem centred around the family. Given the persistence of homo/lesbophobia, this processpushes lesbian and gay youth to negotiate between housing choices and personal lives inambivalent ways. The housing strategies analysed are regrouped into four categories: i) thereturn to the family house; ii) the dependence on the family of origin to buy or rent; iii)international migration to be more autonomous; iv) the experience of alternative housingmodels, mostly squatting, or sharing (including Airbnb). Our categorization must not beinterpreted as fixed or immutable since people might try different solutions over time.

LGBTQ plus housing vulnerability in Greece : intersectionality, coping strategies and, the role of solidarity networks
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article analyzes housing vulnerability and dispossession in Greece through a focus on LGBTQ+ gender identity and sexuality. Since families often reject non-heteronormative members, LGBTQ+ subjectivities are forced into housing dispossession, displacement, and precarious living conditions. Due to lack of institutional rights or support infrastructure and the existing discrimination in regard to access to housing, LGBTQ+ people turn to coping strategies, which primarily involve support through informal, mutual aid networks. This article is based on qualitative research in Athens that included 22 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with LGBTQ+ people and solidarity networks; it explores LGBTQ+ housing pathways and coping strategies by focusing on intersectional housing vulnerability. In so doing, it further re-addresses housing precarity through LGBTQ+ agency as a generative of different narratives and articulations of vulnerability vis-a-vis traditional family networks and state institutions.

Financialization of housing in Southern Europe : the role of the state
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Regions eZine. - : Regional Studies Association. ; :7
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Critical geography and political economy have long assumed that the financialization of housing is a process especially typical of global cities of the North. More recently, increasing attention has been dedicated to financialization in the Global South as well (e.g. Aalbers et al., 2020). Manuel Aalbers (2019, p. 377), however, has recently argued that ‘housing financialization, or any other form of financialization for that matter, is not primarily about showing which place is more financialized; it is about understanding the process by which financial actors, markets, practices, measurements, and narratives are increasingly becoming dominant’. In other words, a regional approach is not so much relevant in terms of creating global ‘rankings’ of financialized cities and places, but to the extent that it allows to explore the forms and ways through which (global) capital intermingle and struggle with local institutional, social and political arrangements.

Housing Financialization and the State, in and Beyond Southern Europe: A Conceptual and Operational Framework
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Housing, Theory and Society. - : ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD. - 1403-6096 .- 1651-2278.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article sets out a conceptual/operational framework designed to analyse how the state has enabled, promoted and shaped housing financialization. We build on the systematic analysis of literature and legislation in Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece, thereby providing an overview of housing financialization in Southern Europe. We identify six modes of housing financialization (mortgage debt, mortgage securitization, social rented housing, market rental housing, housing companies, "not-for-housing housing"), characterized by relative autonomy and specific mechanisms, plus a number of cross-cutting dimensions. Our conceptual/operational framework allows to systematically inquiry whether the state has passively adapted to global transformations or shaped these transformations in turn, therefore advancing two main contributions: first, contributing to a more precise conceptualization of the mechanisms of housing financialization; and, second, providing operational instruments to explore state action and policy in housing financialization beyond Southern Europe.
