This article examines how residents experience and account for stigma at Claremont Court, a modernist social housing scheme built in Edinburgh in the early 1960s. Although listed as having special architectural interest, the building has been subject to disinvestment and has a mix of residents, including council and private renters as well as owner-occupiers. This article explores micro-distinctions between residents, showing how the categories ‘stigmatiser’ and ‘stigmatised’ are not as rigid as we might expect. It then considers stigma associated not with residents but, rather, the building itself, and argues that closer attention to the relationship between the material and social is required in order to understand residents’ complex articulations of belonging. Finally, residents’ views on dirt and rubbish are explored, showing how they use these signifiers of stigma to reveal concerns about shame and respectability. Responding to the call from this journal for more sociological understandings of stigma, this article argues that interactionist approaches offer an important alternative, one that highlights how stigma is negotiated, resisted and apportioned in everyday life. This perspective reveals residents’ practices in interaction with the material environment, as well as the ways in which stigmatisation processes work simultaneously in upward and downward directions, rather than in a unidirectional way.

没有人“一下子”被污名化：对现代主义议会地产污名化的互动式描述

本文探讨了克莱蒙特法院 (Claremont Court) 的居民如何体验和解释耻辱感，这是 1960 年代初期在爱丁堡建造的现代主义社会住房计划。虽然被列为具有特殊的建筑兴趣，但该建筑已被撤资，并有居民混合，包括议会和私人租户以及自住业主。本文探讨了居民之间的微观区别，展示了“污名化”和“污名化”的分类并不像我们想象的那么严格。然后，它考虑与居民无关的污名，而是与建筑物本身有关的污名，并认为需要更密切地关注物质与社会之间的关系，以了解居民对归属感的复杂表达。最后，探讨居民对泥土和垃圾的看法，展示他们如何使用这些污名的能指来表达对羞耻和体面的担忧。为了响应该杂志对污名进行更多社会学理解的呼吁，本文认为互动主义方法提供了一种重要的替代方案，突出了如何在日常生活中协商、抵制和分配污名。这个视角揭示了居民与物质环境互动的实践，以及污名化过程在向上和向下两个方向上同时起作用的方式，而不是单向的。一个强调污名是如何在日常生活中协商、抵制和分配的。这个视角揭示了居民与物质环境互动的实践，以及污名化过程在向上和向下两个方向上同时起作用的方式，而不是单向的。一个强调污名是如何在日常生活中协商、抵制和分配的。这个视角揭示了居民与物质环境互动的实践，以及污名化过程在向上和向下两个方向上同时起作用的方式，而不是单向的。
