Thank you to Isabelina Nahmens for offering insight into the manufacturing elements of mobile homes. Thank you to Helen Regis and Dydia DeLyser for tirelessly advocating for the participant voice and for fostering precision and intentionality in all forms of writing. And thank you to my advisor, Kent Mathewson, for modeling insatiable interest in multi-disciplinary and multi-themed academe. LSU’s Communication across the Curriculum program fostered funding, flexibility and full support throughout this process. I am proud and grateful to be a member of the team. Fieldwork and research development would have been significantly more challenging without support from the West-Russell Travel award, the Evelyn Pruitt Travel award, the Cultural Geography Specialty Group Denis Cosgrove award, as well as research materials provided by Dr. Jorge Atiles and D. Jane Wills at Virginia Tech. Special thanks go to Felicia West and Giovanni Tairov and Livingston Parish Public Libraries, and to Mary Stein and East Baton Rouge Parish Public Libraries, for their hospitality while I conducted field work. The person who helped the words and images make sense was Jeremy Harper, my proofreader, copy editor and graphics support. Errors are mine. To those confidential participants: thank you. Your experiences are bigger and more important than this project, and yet you made the time for it and for me. Thanks to gENTRY hANKS for getting me to Louisiana, and jenny hay and Emily Graves for keeping me there. To Paul Watts, Jade Huell and James Long for hours of advice and insight. To Melissa Thompson, Jeff Snell and Sheri Thompson for being the enthusiasts I needed. Thanks to all the members of the G&A Cultural-Historical Collaborative and the dorky i professors of Krewe du Monde: you are too numerous to recount here but are nonetheless held with me in my pocket. Thanks to my grandfather, Dick Eastland, for always asking how the dissertation was going, especially when I didn’t want to answer. And thanks to the rest of my family, who claim to “really have no idea what it is” I am doing, but support it without hesitation. It means more than I can articulate. Thanks to Meghan, Lizz, Nicole, Becca and Colleen for making the point to not ask about my dissertation, for picking up the phone, sending ridiculous pictures and articles, for yard hangs, air mattresses, pies, puns and all of it. Productivity stagnates without these moments and your support. Final thanks to Jeremy and Ethan Harper. Two good eggs. You are my landscape of home. I delight in having found my ideal in this lived experience with you. Let’s go for a walk. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgements .......................................................................................................................... i List of Figures

  • 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.

INTRODUCTION Legal systems blend social cognition—inferences about the minds of others—with the social context.1 This is accomplished primarily through defining group boundaries. Specifically, legal systems dictate which people are governed within their jurisdiction. These people can all be considered part of the ingroup that the legal system represents. In fact, legal systems were created to facilitate people living together in large groups.2 This social contract requires people to be subject to the laws of their respective local, state, national, and international groups. Therefore, despite Rousseau’s theorizing of legal systems being created for all humanity, people governed by legal systems are assumed to belong to the relevant ingroup, however such a group is defined.

IRB protocol # 13-0242 iii Formanack, Allison Beth (Ph.D., Anthropology) Mobile Home on the Range: Manufacturing Ruin and Respect in an American Zone of Abandonment Dissertation directed by Associate Professor Carla M. Jones How does the symbolic transference of material ruination onto mobile-homeowners produce impermanence, social precarity, and financial risk? Achieving the “American dream” of upward class mobility, self-actualization, and respect through hard work is, for most Americans, materialized through homeownership. As markers of social status however, not all homes are created equal. Advertised as the American dream “on a budget,” manufactured homes—also referred to as mobile homes or trailers—represent an economical alternative to conventional homeownership, and as such meet a critical demand for affordable family housing in the United States.
