Abstract

Abstract When COVID-19 struck in 2020, a large number of persons experiencing homelessness in Toronto filtered out into public spaces and makeshift shelters to try to limit further community spread. Using city council reports, transcripts from community meetings, and media publications, this article employs a novel framing device called “liminal positionality” to grasp how people who were resettled in new shelters were at once embedded among and newly rejected by the people living around these shelters. Existing residents then pressured the state to build new spatial boundaries between themselves and their new neighbours within these shared spaces.

陷入困境:2019冠状病毒病期间多伦多的无家可归者

当2019冠状病毒病在2020年爆发时，多伦多大量无家可归的人涌入公共场所和临时避难所，试图限制进一步的社区传播。本文利用市议会报告、社区会议记录和媒体出版物，采用了一种名为“阈限定位”(liminal positionality)的新颖框架方法，来理解被安置在新避难所的人是如何立即融入到避难所周围的人当中，同时又被周围的人拒绝的。然后，现有居民向政府施压，要求在这些共享空间内，在他们自己和新邻居之间建立新的空间边界。
