Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The lack of affordable housing for people with low income, shrinkingpublic resources, and new political conflicts threaten the availability ofhousing, at the same time as aggressive forms of urban renewal arecausing displacement through ‘renoviction’, putting tenants in criticalsituations. In this article, we focus on the acts of resistance and newsocial organization trends that have emerged in relation to the praxis ofrenoviction used by landlords and other local authorities, and thefrustration caused by this praxis. We claim that these new forms oforganization are using the concept of renoviction in articulating currentstruggles for housing justice. Methodologically, we point out thenecessity of urban research conducted in close collaboration withactivism, as a way for mutual learning and support. Moreover, wesuggest that these acts of resistance should be understood as happeningwithin a broader context of economic and political changes affectingthe housing market, and in relation to the increased racialization ofpoverty and territorial stigmatization in Swedish cities. To illustrate andthen strive to understand the ongoing resistance and demands forhousing justice, we focus on national activist networks emerging inresponse to the neoliberal housing crisis. We maintain that emergingresistance in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Uppsala represents agrowing claim for housing justice. This resistance is based on people’severyday lives and is a cry for dignity in neighborhoods neglected byhousing companies.

Rätten till bostad eller kris i bostadsfrågan
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Bortom systemskiftet. - Stockholm : Verbal förlag. - 9789189155916 ; , s. 483-515
-
Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Systemskiftet har haft ett stort genomslag när det kommer till bostadsmarknaden och bostadspolitiken. Transformationerna har varit omfattande vad gäller den avregleringen av bostadstadssektorn och det offentligas roll, med ett närmast absolut tillbakadragande från statens sida. Det finns i dagsläget ingen vare sig offentlig eller privat instans som tar ansvar för de bostadssociala frågorna på statlig nivå, medan manöverutrymmet är begränsat för kommunerna. Samtidigt som stat och kommun kapitulerar i sitt sociala ansvar ökar bostadsojämlikheten och krisen för de som efterfrågar bostäder till rimliga priser intensifieras. Den allmännyttiga hyresrätten, som historiskt varit arbetarklassens viktigaste marknad, har försvagats och beståndet har till och med minskat i antal från systemskiftets början i tidigt 1990-tal.

Who is telling the smart city story? : Feminist diffractions of smart cities
- 2023. - 1
-
Ingår i: Digital (in)justice in the smart city. - : University of Toronto Press. - 9781487527150 - 9781487527167 ; , s. 39-52
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Drawing on (earlier) feminist urban critique, this chapter discuss what smart city strategies can tell us about the contemporary urban conditions and social relations. Through analyzing underlying (gendered) assumptions and understandings of everyday life the chapter aims to expose which power relations that are being produced, or reproduced, when tech-companies enter planning and manifest digital technology in the city. By bringing in feminist theory, the aim is to shed light on questions around urban knowledge production, representation and actual outcomes; who is invited to the discourse and who is talking to whom? Whose reality is being manifested through the smart city?

Crisis in the City: Emergency Urbanism
- 2011
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper deals with the question how urban crises – whether political, economic, financial, environmental or social – are defined, constructed, or discursively and materially appropriated by urban elites to serve their agendas of urban reform. Inspired by the work of Klein (2007), Smith (2005) and others, it will be argued that specific ‘emergency’ framings of urban decline, impoverishment, disaster, or moments of (violent) disagreement with existing regimes, become shock doctrines that ‘naturalise’ very peculiar policy solutions while eliminating alternatives. In the process, a unifying urban-wide consensus is sculpted that hides the interest-specific interpretations of crisis and highlights the unavoidable nature of policy measures following from it. The alleged urgency to save ‘the’ city from downfall obliterates deep-rooted social conflict around class, gender, or ethnicity. Based on evidence from several neighbourhoods in Malmö, the paper will try to provide a partial answer to the question how ‘disaster urbanism’, or ‘emergency urbanism’, rewrites urban problems of violence, unemployment, segregration and polarization, disinvestment, financial breakdown, political uproar, etcetera, to push through policy reform that would otherwise meet considerable protest and resistance.
