How nice to see another paper from @DislocatingUS workshops by Raffael Beier is out: https://t.co/vSFplgoW7R
This paper emphasizes implicit assumptions that are underlying our understanding of slums by conceptualizing them as 'ordinary neighborhoods' @IURMAU
New open-access publication! In @HousingJournal at https://t.co/lsKMvDv96O
I argue: the state is directly involved as the primary actor in the development process, in enclosure, the creation of mortgage markets, and assetisation as a deliberate and direct developer.
It is with the happiest of hearts that we wrap up our final workshop series today. Thanks to everyone who critically wrote and spoke, stayed up all night, and persevered through hours of screen time to be with us these last 4 months. And please stay tuned for what's to come!
Martínez:
We must critically reflect on how our discourses and works as academic reproduces or not the suffering or oppression of the groups we aim to support
Berescu:
Indeed, the engagement with the literature is such that reflects the early stage of the paper! I'm struggling with being in between literatures, where architecture deals with public space is dealt with in a mechanistic and dualistic manner
