  • Making Space
    Alternative radical histories and campaigns continuing today. Sam Burgum November 2018 Property ownership is not a given, but a social and legal construction, with a specific history. Magna Carta (1215) established a legal precedent for protecting property owners from arbitrary possession by the state. ‘For a man’s home is his ASS Archives ASS castle, and each man’s home is his safest refuge’ - Edward Coke, 1604 Charter of the Forest (1217) asserted the rights of the ‘commons’ (i.e. propertyless) to access the 143 royal forests enclosed since 1066. Enclosure Acts (1760-1870) enclosed 7million acres of commons through 4000 acts of parliament.

  • The Machinery of Eviction
    The Machinery of Eviction: Bailiffs, Power, Resistance, and Eviction Enforcement Practices in England and Wales ! Alexander George Baker ! Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Architecture, Planning, and Landscape Newcastle University January 2017 Abstract This thesis addresses a significant research gap in critical research on forced eviction. It attempts to shift focus from the experiences of the evicted, examined in previous studies, to the work of evictors and eviction enforcement. It asks how the ‘tools, technologies, strategies, and tactics’ of forced eviction develop and are implemented in England and Wales. Using qualitative interviews centred around a case study of a city in the North of England to examine the ‘everyday’ form of evictions, this thesis looks at the work of a Rent Arrears Recovery Team on the ‘Benford’ housing estate in the city, and the working lives of County Court Bailiffs at the local court as they work in the context of a national ‘housing crisis’. Interviews with third party organizations and a High Court Enforcement firm, video footage, and online accounts of large-scale evictions provided by a wide range of sources from social movements are used to explore the ‘exceptional’ forms of displacement that emerge on a national scale. This research shows that Eviction enforcement actors and specialists have to employ forms of coercion which exist on a continuum between the ‘emotional’ and the ‘physical’; these practices are underpinned by ‘intuitive’ tactics built through individual and personal histories and the historical context in which evictions take place. These strategies and tactics of eviction are shaped by the resistance of the evicted, and the development of the disciplinary institutions of eviction happens in response to this resistance, which sets the pace for the development of the capacity of the state and economy to displace.

  • A Nomadic War Machine in the Metropolis: En/Countering London's
    A Nomadic War Machine in the Metropolis: En/Countering London’s 21st Century Housing Crisis with Focus E15 Paul Watt Abstract This paper builds upon Colin McFarlane’s (2011) call in City for an ‘assemblage urbanism’ to supplement critical urbanism. It does so by mapping the spatio-political contours of London’s 21st century housing crisis through the geophilosophical framework of Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus (2013) and Hardt and Negri’s analysis of the metropolis in Commonwealth (2009). The paper examines the Focus E15 housing campaign based around a group of young mothers in the East London borough of Newham. In 2013 the mothers were living in the Focus E15 Foyer supported housing unit for young people in Newham, but they were subsequently threatened with eviction as a result of welfare cuts. After successfully contesting the mothers’ own prospective expulsion from the city, the campaign shifted to the broader struggle for ‘social housing not social cleansing’. The paper draws upon participant observation at campaign events and interviews with key members. The Focus E15 campaign has engaged in a series of actions which form a distinctive way of undertaking housing politics in London, a politics that can be understood using a Deleuzoguattarian framework. Several campaign actions, including temporary occupations, are analysed. It is argued that these actions have created ‘smooth space’ in a manner which is to an extent distinctive from many other London housing campaigns which are rooted in a more sedentary defensive approach based around the protection of existing homes and 1 communities – ‘our place’. It is such spatio-political creativity – operating as a ‘nomadic war machine’ – which has given rise to the high-profile reputation of the Focus E15 campaigners as inspirational young women who do not ‘know their place’.

This Radical Housing housing crisis in London. Journal ‘update’ reflects on the political role of archiving and exhibitions, Contact: whilst highlighting the main aim of ‘Making Space’ in unsettling the way [email protected] in which we have become accustomed to think about property, @sjburgum ownership, and entitlement. In addition to plans for future online samuelburgum.uk publications, ‘Making Space’ is also available to travel, so please get in contact if you are interested in hosting the exhibition. Keywords squatting, trespass, housing, protest, exhibition Squatting and trespass embody the limits of how housing and property are distributed, built upon millennia of enclosures. As such, ‘Making Space’ (an exhibition of squatting, trespass, and direct housing action) began with the Magna Carta, the foundations of Anglo- Liberal property law, and their translation into domestic and colonial rule. Open for one week at the Union St Co-op Café in Sheffield, as part of the ESRC (Economic & Social Research Council) Festival of Social Sciences 2018, ‘Making Space’ saw hundreds of people learn about and discuss such a inheritance, whilst networking with different campaign groups (including tenants’ union ‘Acorn’, Assist asylum seeker support, and the Sheffield Tree campaign) as well as Reclaim the Power (a UK-based direct action network fighting for social, environmental and economic justice who happened to have a national convergence over that weekend).

  • The Housing Crisis in Neoliberal Britain: Free Market Think Tanks and the Production of Ignorance
    The Housing Crisis in Neoliberal Britain: Free Market Think Tanks and the Production of Ignorance by Tom Slater, University of Edinburgh ([email protected] ) Forthcoming in S. Springer, K. Birch and J. MacLeavy (Eds) The Routledge Handbook of Neoliberalism “What if that machinery were reversed? What if the habits, problems, actions, and decisions of the wealthy and powerful were daily scrutinized by a thousand systematic researchers, were hourly pried into, analysed, and cross referenced, tabulated and published in a hundred inexpensive mass-circulation journals and written so that even the fifteen-year-old high school drop-outs could understand it and predict the actions of their parents’ landlord, manipulate and control him?” Martin Nicolaus (1969) Unsettling supply and demand In late 2014 an important social movement, FOCUS E15 1, was born on the Carpenters Estate in the east London borough of Newham. Two young mothers, Sam Middleton and Jasmine Stone, occupied an empty flat on the Estate in late September that year. They were soon joined by several other young mothers who had all experienced the same trauma: being served eviction notices by an emergency hostel (or “sheltered accommodation”, as it is known in the UK) after the funding stream to that council-run hostel was cut. The Carpenters Estate is adjacent to the 2012 Olympic Park, and in 2010 it was cleared of its residents as Newham Council, affected by central government cuts to all local authority budgets, tried to sell the land to cash in on the rent seeking mega-event bonanza. The deal fell through, leaving more than 600 council homes empty for four years, and the Council wanted to send the families it had displaced into hostels to Birmingham or Manchester, where rents are considerably cheaper.

  • The Politics of Occupation in the Neoliberal City Relationships Between Squatting Movements and Housing Justice Movements in London and Madrid
    The Politics of Occupation in the Neoliberal City Relationships between squatting movements and housing justice movements in London and Madrid Rowan Tallis Milligan Supervisor: Mathieu Van Criekingen Second reader: Rosa de la Fuente Fernández 1 September 2018 4CITIES Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Urban Studies 0 Acknowledgements With thanks to Mathieu Van Criekingen for advice, thoughts, and tolerating my tendencies towards revolutionary romanticism. To Aylon Cohen for, once again, guiding me from the polemical towards the pragmatic (kind of). To my fellow 4CITIES students for enduring my incomprehensible speaking speed and telling me to slow down not nearly as often as was necessary. To Niall for helping me format while I cry into a beer. And to Mónica Burdeus for accompanying me around Madrid, documenting my discoveries, correcting my Spanish, and providing much needed emotional (and affective!) support during these trying times. 1 “No fence can contain us. No fence can keep us out. We are squatters who are not bound by the borders of the Aylesbury estate. We are residents who still have leases and tenancies. We are everyone who needs a place to stay. We are bound by nothing but this need. See you soon at Aylesbury. See you soon at Sweets Way. See you at the Guinness Trust. See you at UAL, LSE, Kings and Goldsmiths. See you soon in all the squats. See you at every protest and minor act of resistance. See you soon everywhere.” - The Aylesbury Occupation 2 ABSTRACT Neoliberalism has significantly impacted urban landscapes since the 1980s. In the wake of the 2008 global financial crash, different neoliberal housing policies lead to varied ramifications across Europe, manifesting in mass sell-offs of public housing in the UK compared to mass eviction from mortgage-indebted homes in Spain.

    'Squatting Is A Part OF The HousinG Movement' PRACTICAL SQUATTING HISTORIES 1969 - 2019 'Squatting Is Part Of The Housing Movement' ‘...I learned how to crack window panes with a hammer muffled in a sock and then to undo the catch inside. Most houses were uninhabit- able, for they had already been dis- embowelled by the Council. The gas and electricity were disconnected, the toilets smashed...Finally we found a house near King’s Cross. It was a disused laundry, rather cramped and with a shopfront window...That night we changed the lock. Next day, we moved in. In the weeks that followed, the other derelict houses came to life as squatting spread. All the way up Caledonian Road corrugated iron was stripped from doors and windows; fresh paint appeared, and cats, flow- erpots, and bicycles; roughly printed posters offered housing advice and free pregnancy testing...’ Sidey Palenyendi and her daughters outside their new squatted home in June Guthrie, a character in the novel Finsbury Park, housed through the ‘Every Move You Make’, actions of Haringey Family Squat- ting Association, 1973 Alison Fell, 1984 Front Cover: 18th January 1969, Maggie O’Shannon & her two children squatted 7 Camelford Rd, Notting Hill.

This is expected to rise to 75% by 2050. The move to the cities first occurred in Europe with industriali- sation. It was a relatively slow process compared to the pace of change in the developing world. For example, London in 1910 was seven times larger than it had been in 1880 whereas China added more city-dwellers in the 1980s than did all of Europe, including Russia, in the entire 19th century (Davis: 2007). And cities are constantly changing, transformed by the need for capi- talism to find new sources of profit. Capitalism has continually strived to ensure that all aspects of work involve the creation of surplus value. Now, capital is bringing all aspects of life into the capitalist orbit - making where we live and what we do when we are not at work, part of this value creation system. This means the control of all space, not just where we work. Britain and other western countries have seen a massive increase in the cost of housing, increase in evictions and homelessness, whole council estates torn down and sold off to private developers, overcrowding in squal- id accommodation, city centres privatised and transformed into sanitised shopping malls, business centres and tourist destinations, attacks on the poor - cuts in benefit, the bedroom tax, low wages, fewer green and open spaces 3 and more sky scrapers, increased pollution, police violence, and increased surveillance.
