Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper focuses on how stigma is constructed and deconstructed through linguistic and aesthetic dimensions of “Rapid Build” housing in Dublin, Ireland. Through analyses of in-depth interviews and focus groups with residents and stakeholders, we explore how the nomenclature and brick-clad modular construction of the builds influenced residents’ experiences of stigma. Emphasizing the importance of the symbolic dimensions of housing materialities in mediating stigma, we argue resident experiences reflect the importance of understanding relationships between social housing construction and stigma power in three interrelated ways. First, the nomenclature and materiality of housing has a profound effect on social imaginaries of residents and their self-perceptions. Second, stigmatized groups are not devoid of agency within constructions of stigma, and are both actors in the embedding of, and resistance to, its production. Third, engaging with residents’ experiences is integral to better understanding, and resisting, the role of architecture in the “stigma machine”.
污名、覆层和模块化住房:都柏林“快速建造”计划的居民经验
摘要本文通过爱尔兰都柏林“快速建造”住宅的语言和美学维度,重点探讨污名是如何被构建和解构的。通过对居民和利益相关者的深入访谈和焦点小组的分析,我们探讨了建筑的命名和砖砌模块化结构如何影响居民的耻辱体验。强调住房物质的象征性维度在调解污名化中的重要性,我们认为,居民的经历从三个相互关联的方面反映了理解社会住房建设和污名化力量之间关系的重要性。首先,住房的命名和物质性对居民的社会想象和自我认知有着深远的影响。其次,被污名化的群体在污名化结构中并非缺乏能动性,他们都是嵌入和抵制其产生的行动者。第三,参与居民的体验对于更好地理解和抵制建筑在“污名机器”中的作用是不可或缺的。
