- Den förnyelsevåg vi ser i dag gäller i första hand ombyggnationer och renoveringar av hyresbestånd som byggdes främst på 1960- och 1970-talen, men även tidigare. Majoriteten av detta bestånd står inför en välbehövd upprustning av avloppsstammar och el. Många hus har inte fått en upprustning sedan de byggdes. En stor del av dessa tillhör miljonprogrammet som sedan länge huserat människor som historiskt tillhört en mindre bemedlad socioekonomisk grupp i Sverige. Vad händer när denna upprustning blir så omfattande och kostsam att de boende tvingas flytta? Hur påverkar det stadsdelen och grannskapet? Vad gör det med hyresgästers förhållande till sina hem? Och hur kan de påverka denna process? Det är dessa frågor kapitlet kommer söker svar på. Utgångspunkt är den forskning vi bedrivit de senaste åren i tre stadsdelar i södra Stockholm. Vårt material bygger på ett trettiotal intervjuer samt ett tiotal gruppintervjuer genomförda 2018 med hyresgäster som befunnit sig inför, under eller efter en omfattande renovering av sitt hem.

- Squatting in Sweden peaked in the 1980s. Stockholm and Gothenburg were the epicenters, among other smaller towns throughout the country. Researchers identified punk music, influences from abroad, anarchist ideas and the emergence of urban social movements as central to the increase in squatting during this decade. Only a fragmented picture of squatting events has been presented until now, however, often at the city level and during a limited period. This perspective fails to connect squatting actions across the country, and beyond its borders. Departing from the approach to squatting as a form of contentious repertoire, I will analyze how squatters negotiated and legitimized their actions, and in relation to different opponents. Special attention is given to the contradictions caused by different and sometimes contradictory ideals in the communication of the significance of squatting. Based on materials produced by the squatters and other secondary materials, this chapter explores the arenas of interactions, or fields where contentious actors interact within their own group or movement, or with the authorities and the police.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- While governing practices, as articulated in policies and other documents intended to shape tenants’ behavior, have been given considerable attention in research, less attention has been given to the self-regulation of tenants in practice or how these governance practices are challenged and resisted from below. The ambition of our work is to study governing practices deployed by housing companies in two Swedish cities to achieve tenants’ compliance with extensive housing renewal plans, and to conceptualize this means of exerting power as practices through which tenants are governed, silenced and surveilled, and their collective interests divided. Building on several years of ethnographic work among communities of tenants experiencing extensive renovation of their homes and, in particular, qualitative interviews and focus-group interviews with tenants, this study analyzes how governing practices are exercised by housing companies and contested by tenants. Our contribution is twofold: First, we propose the broadening of the notion of repertoires of contention alongside collectively organized contention to include covert and individual forms of resistance. We understand these forms as mutually shaping, and distinguish between eight forms of resistance repertoires common among tenants facing renovictions (indirect evictions caused by extensive housing renewal and skyrocketing rents) in Sweden: building local identities, mixing formal and informal forms of organization, delaying the process, detournement, politics of disengagement, demanding accountability through visibility, reversing knowledge hierarchies, and reversed shaming. Second, we aim to add to the still understudied field of tenants’ mobilizations in the Swedish context.
