ABSTRACT

Housing transformation creates conditions or situations that may be experienced as “everyday violence”, which is present in mundane life but may not necessarily be recognized as violence. This article argues that post-welfare housing violence differs from other housing violence while being affected by the society’s welfare state ideologies. Violence may develop slowly or manifest itself in subtle ways when the rights to own, use, and develop housing estates are debated. By analysing activists’ struggle against the privatization of a Swedish suburb, the article elaborates on the forms of post-welfare housing violence, and the ways in which violence is made visible and contested. The analysis reveals how post-welfare housing violence is normalized and slow violence, and how the by-product of the welfare state history is the effort to invisibilise violence in situations that were earlier public responsibility.

摘要

住房改造创造了可能被视为“日常暴力”的条件或情况，这种暴力存在于世俗生活中，但不一定被视为暴力。本文认为，福利后住房暴力不同于其他住房暴力，同时受到社会福利国家意识形态的影响。当对拥有、使用和开发住宅区的权利进行辩论时，暴力可能会缓慢发展或以微妙的方式表现出来。通过分析活动人士反对瑞典郊区私有化的斗争，本文详细阐述了福利后住房暴力的形式，以及暴力被曝光和抗争的方式。分析揭示了福利后的住房暴力如何正常化和缓慢的暴力，
