This article begins with a reflection on Phil Thomas’ work, as well as on the way in which the Journal of Law and Society has pioneered scholarship in this field. Drawing on my own experiences as a researcher and campaigner, and my ‘insider’ status as a van dweller, I articulate why many have sought alternative modes of living, reflecting on ideas about freedom and anarchism, the importance of ‘home’, cultural preference, and escaping the housing crisis. I note that Wales and other European states, such as Portugal, provide a much warmer welcome and space for diverse Travellers; some are already planning their escape routes before the consequences of Brexit and new trespass legislation unfold. In an already hostile and rapidly changing context, it appears that the ontological security of vehicle dwellers is increasingly under threat. As well as giving a voice to these communities, the article also represents a much‐needed call to action.

家：抵抗的工具？在变化的政策环境中探索“车辆居住”的解放纠结

本文首先回顾了菲尔·托马斯（Phil Thomas）的工作以及《法律与社会杂志》的撰写方式。在这一领域开创了奖学金的先河。借鉴我自己作为研究者和竞选活动者的经验以及我作为“房客”的“内行”身份，我阐明了为什么许多人寻求替代生活方式，对自由和无政府主义的观念，“家”的重要性，文化偏爱的想法进行了反思。 ，并避免了住房危机。我注意到，威尔士和其他欧洲国家，例如葡萄牙，为多样化的旅行者提供了更为热烈的欢迎和空间；一些人已经在英国脱欧和新的侵入法立法出台之前制定了逃生路线。在已经充满敌意和快速变化的环境中，似乎车辆居民的本体安全性正日益受到威胁。除了在这些社区中表达意见外，本文还代表了急需采取的行动。
