ABSTRACT

The “bad landlord” is an important stereotype in political debate. This paper applies Foucault’s analysis of historical change in the relation between economics and government, to examine the changing use of this stereotype the UK since the nineteenth century. We trace how this development reflects changes in the nature of government over this period. An analysis of debates on landlordism in the post-devolution Scottish Parliament demonstrates how the stereotype is used in the context of devolved government.

“坏房东”：当代住房政策与实践的起源与意义

摘要

“坏房东”是政治辩论中的一个重要刻板印象。本文运用福柯对经济与政府关系的历史变迁的分析，来考察自 19 世纪以来英国对这种刻板印象的使用变化。我们追踪这一发展如何反映这一时期政府性质的变化。对权力下放后苏格兰议会中关于地主主义的辩论的分析展示了如何在权力下放的政府背景下使用刻板印象。
