Abstract

After the Global Financial Crisis, activists and scholars have turned to collective forms of housing as a strategy to decommodify housing. We argue that housing cooperatives might take a crucial role in this strategy. The fact that they are still marginal, however, raises questions about the conditions for their emergence, growth and survival. By bringing the trajectories of housing cooperatives in Switzerland and Uruguay in dialogue, we capture different paths towards housing policies conducive for cooperatives. In both countries, housing cooperatives are meaningful policy instruments to make urbanization governable. To understand their development, their mutual relations with governments are crucial. We argue that the organizational form of a cooperative resembles a shell, which can be repurposed from the inside and the outside. In their ambiguous position between self-organization and being entangled with state practices, the situated stories of housing cooperatives in Switzerland and Uruguay help to re-describe struggles to live and dwell in urbanizing spaces around the globe.

住房去商品化的斗争:乌拉圭和瑞士住房合作社的政治

摘要

在全球金融危机之后,活动家和学者已将集体住房形式作为一种去商品化住房的战略。我们认为,住房合作社可能在这一战略中发挥关键作用。然而,它们仍然处于边缘地位的事实引发了对其出现、成长和生存条件的质疑。通过将瑞士和乌拉圭住房合作社的发展轨迹进行对话,我们捕捉到了有利于合作社的住房政策的不同路径。在这两个国家,住房合作社都是使城市化可管理的有意义的政策工具。要了解它们的发展,它们与政府的相互关系至关重要。我们认为,合作社的组织形式类似于外壳,可以从内部和外部重新调整用途。
