Abstract This essay is a response to Michele Lancione’s Housing Futures Essay, which was recently published in this journal. Bleak urban futures and the obscure perspective on housing calls for renewed attention across several disciplines, approaches and geographies. Michele Lancione pleaded to study ‘radical housing’ within everyday practices of dwelling for those living at the margins, where the latter are understood as the site where ‘a politics of life’ emerges from uncanny, uninhabitable places - with explicit reference to the work of Abdoumaliq Simone. Assuming the importance of dwelling and its immanence, can the political dimension ascribed by Lancione to the radical housing approach, be complemented with the affirmative politics of Esposito and Braidotti and Agamben’s forms-of-life? Starting from these questions, this paper aims to engage with Lancione’s dwelling as difference and offer complementary readings suggesting the rubric of ‘inhabitation’ as the result of affirmative daily strategies of learning, navigating and governing the city. By expanding the notion of dwelling to include intersecting forms of caring, repairing and imagining the future, we will substantiate the concept we refer to as ‘inhabiting’ as a relational practice occurring in marginal and fragile environments, constituted by multiple incremental and transformative acts with the ultimate purpose to hold and resist marginalisation.

摘要 本文是对 Michele Lancione 近期发表在该杂志上的 Housing Futures Essay 的回应。黯淡的城市未来和对住房的模糊看法要求重新关注多个学科、方法和地域。Michele Lancione 恳求研究边缘人日常居住实践中的“激进住房”，后者被理解为“生活政治”从不可思议的、无法居住的地方出现的地方——明确参考了阿布杜马利克西蒙尼。假设居住的重要性及其内在性，Lancione 归因于激进的住房方法的政治维度能否与 Esposito、Braidotti 和 Agamben 的积极政治相辅相成？从这些问题出发，本文旨在将 Lancione 的住宅视为差异，并提供补充阅读，表明“居住”的标题是学习、导航和管理城市的积极日常策略的结果。通过将居住的概念扩展到包括关怀、修复和想象未来的交叉形式，我们将证实我们称之为“居住”的概念，它是一种发生在边缘和脆弱环境中的关系实践，由多种渐进和变革性的行为构成最终目的是保持和抵制边缘化。
