  • Trailer Trash” Stigma and Belonging in Florida Mobile Home Parks
    Social Inclusion (ISSN: 2183–2803) 2020, Volume 8, Issue 1, Pages 66–75 DOI: 10.17645/si.v8i1.2391 Article “Trailer Trash” Stigma and Belonging in Florida Mobile Home Parks Margarethe Kusenbach Department of Sociology, University of South Florida, Tampa, FL 33620, USA; E-Mail: [email protected] Submitted: 1 August 2019 | Accepted: 4 October 2019 | Published: 27 February 2020 Abstract In the United States, residents of mobile homes and mobile home communities are faced with cultural stigmatization regarding their places of living. While common, the “trailer trash” stigma, an example of both housing and neighbor- hood/territorial stigma, has been understudied in contemporary research. Through a range of discursive strategies, many subgroups within this larger population manage to successfully distance themselves from the stigma and thereby render it inconsequential (Kusenbach, 2009). But what about those residents—typically white, poor, and occasionally lacking in stability—who do not have the necessary resources to accomplish this? This article examines three typical responses by low-income mobile home residents—here called resisting, downplaying, and perpetuating—leading to different outcomes regarding residents’ sense of community belonging. The article is based on the analysis of over 150 qualitative interviews with mobile home park residents conducted in West Central Florida between 2005 and 2010. Keywords belonging; Florida; housing; identity; mobile homes; stigmatization; territorial stigma Issue This article is part of the issue “New Research on Housing and Territorial Stigma” edited by Margarethe Kusenbach (University of South Florida, USA) and Peer Smets (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the Netherlands). © 2020 by the author; licensee Cogitatio (Lisbon, Portugal).

To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth. —George Orwell, 19841 I will speak to you in plain, simple English. And that brings us to tonight’s word: ‘truthiness.’ Now I’m sure some of the ‘word police,’ the ‘wordinistas’ over at Webster’s are gonna say, ‘hey, that’s not really a word.’ Well, anyone who knows me knows I’m no fan of dictionaries or reference books.

  • Sociopathetic Abscess Or Yawning Chasm? the Absent Postcolonial Transition In
    Sociopathetic abscess or yawning chasm? The absent postcolonial transition in Doctor Who Lindy A Orthia The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia Abstract This paper explores discourses of colonialism, cosmopolitanism and postcolonialism in the long-running television series, Doctor Who. Doctor Who has frequently explored past colonial scenarios and has depicted cosmopolitan futures as multiracial and queer- positive, constructing a teleological model of human history. Yet postcolonial transition stages between the overthrow of colonialism and the instatement of cosmopolitan polities have received little attention within the program. This apparent ‘yawning chasm’ — this inability to acknowledge the material realities of an inequitable postcolonial world shaped by exploitative trade practices, diasporic trauma and racist discrimination — is whitewashed by the representation of past, present and future humanity as unchangingly diverse; literally fixed in happy demographic variety. Harmonious cosmopolitanism is thus presented as a non-negotiable fact of human inevitability, casting instances of racist oppression as unnatural blips. Under this construction, the postcolonial transition needs no explication, because to throw off colonialism’s chains is merely to revert to a more natural state of humanness, that is, cosmopolitanism. Only a few Doctor Who stories break with this model to deal with the ‘sociopathetic abscess’ that is real life postcolonial modernity. Key Words Doctor Who, cosmopolitanism, colonialism, postcolonialism, race, teleology, science fiction This is the submitted version of a paper that has been published with minor changes in The Journal of Commonwealth Literature, 45(2): 207-225. 1 1. Introduction Zargo: In any society there is bound to be a division. The rulers and the ruled.

Arcadia , Gallifrey's "second city", was protected by a large number of sky trenches. Series 8. The War Doctor was present at the Fall of Arcadia , and it was there that he left his warning of "No More" for the combatants. Gallifrey had at least two large moons and a ring system, similar to Saturn in Earth 's solar system. Episode 3. What is Doctor Who? What did the Master do? TV : The Invasion of Time Rassilon later referred to the area that the barn in which the Doctor had slept as a child as the Drylands , claiming that no one of importance lived there. There's some sloppy exposition, revealing that The Fourth Doctor got stuck between times during his abduction and he has to sit this one out and some other sundries. The Tenth Doctor returned it to the time lock by shooting and destroying the diamond which connected Gallifrey to Earth. Share Tweet. Missy later told the Doctor that Gallifrey had returned to its original position. It was also called Gallifrey Original. I won't look. Wait, wait, wait, wait.

  • February 26 2020 Ash Wednesday You Are Not Alone Way Back, Years
    February 26 2020 Ash Wednesday You Are Not Alone Way back, years ago, Alanis Morrisette sang a song; it was probably the one that first brought her to serious public attention. Anyone remember what it was? Ironic! Yes a song about some things going wrong when they feel like they should be going right. What’s some of the lyrics? An old man turned ninety-eight He won the lottery and died the next day Well, that’s not ironic. That’s just sad. What about.. A "no smoking" sign on your cigarette break It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife Well that’s not ironic, either. Mildly annoying, I suppose. What about… It's a death row pardon two minutes too late Well, that’s… Horrifying. Horrible! When we talk about irony, we’re talking about two things, two events or statement that seem, on the surface, to be incongruent with one another. Clear as mud! Pleasant as a root canal! Wikipedia helpfully tells me that when President Reagan was shot in 1981, all of the bullets missed him… except one, which missed the President, ricocheted on his bulletproof limo, then… Struck the president! Irony! We have, in our Gospel, something of an ironic situation. Jesus tells us, rather directly, not to practice our righteousness in public; if you fast, look healthy. Clean your face. And here we are, about to make our faces dirty. Maybe that’s ironic? So why do we do this? Why do we read Jesus’ words telling us to not outwardly share our repentance, to declare our prayers to others, then promptly do the opposite? If you know me well, and some of you do, you will know that I enjoy all kinds of geekery.
