本文认为,在获得住房的变化-无论是在租赁和所有权-破坏中产阶级的方式,从根本上影响阶级的形成再生产。虽然房产所有权与中产阶级的身份、地位和区别有着长期的联系,但竞争日益激烈的租赁市场以及不断上涨的房价影响了对住房未来的预期和焦虑。在本文中,我们考虑两个关键问题:(1)在这种更广泛的结构变化的条件下,中产阶级身份会发生什么变化?(2)中产阶级如何在这一点上采取各种策略?借鉴在伦敦进行的实证研究,我们表明,成为业主自住可能会断裂沿着的阶级,但也沿着的年龄,财富和时间轴,特别是因为这涉及到住房市场。它建立在对居住地位和地方作为阶级形成的核心的理解之上,围绕着对人和地方的认识,强调不断变化的经济和社会进程产生新的阶级地位和阶级再生产的战略。我们认为,这些过程是在实践中的归属和要求的地方,更广泛的影响,在城市景观。
This paper argues that shifts in access to housing - both in relation to rental and ownership - disrupt middle-class reproduction in ways that fundamentally influence class formation. While property ownership has had a long association with middle-class identities, status and distinction, an increasingly competitive rental market alongside inflated property prices has impacted on expectations and anxieties over housing futures. In this paper, we consider two key questions: (1) What happens to middle-class identities under the conditions of this wider structural change? (2) How do the middle classes variously manoeuvre within this? Drawing on empirical research conducted in London, we demonstrate that becoming an owner-occupier may be fractured along lines of class but also along the axes of age, wealth and timing, particularly as this relates to the housing market. It builds on understandings of residential status and place as central to the formation of class, orienting this around the recognition of both people and place as mutable, emphasizing that changing economic and social processes generate new class positionalities and strategies for class reproduction. We argue that these processes are writ large in practices of belonging and claims to place, with wider repercussions within the urban landscape.
