“…Brysch (2018) uses case study analysis, focusing on the design aspects, and Avilla-Royo et al ( 2021) to the current housing regulations. The issue of the decommodification of housing has also been analyzed through the conceptual framework of the commons (Ferreri, & Vidal, 2021;Leyva del Río, 2022;Miralles Buil, 2019).…”

El modelo de cooperativa de vivienda enrégimen de cesión de uso que ha surgido enCataluña desde 2015 ha suscitado interés comoforma alternativa de vivienda. Los grupos seautoorganizan y toman decisiones colectivaspara evaluar sus necesidades, negociar recursosy cocrear alternativas de vivienda. Este artículoexamina las características del estado actual dela vivienda cooperativa en Cataluña a través deun análisis comparativo de los casos existentes,utilizando gráficos con los datos delObservatorio de la Vivienda Cooperativa deCataluña. Los atributos analizados se clasificanen: localización, características constitutivas,proceso de participación, característicaseconómicas y convivencia. Se observa que elmodelo de vivienda cooperativa de Cataluñaestá ofreciendo nuevas posibilidades parahabitar y fomentar la vivienda orientada a lacomunidad. Sin embargo, para hacer frente a losretos relacionados con la inclusión, los largosprocesos de consolidación y las barrerasfinancieras, todavía hay margen de mejora.

Gentrification: A philosophical analysis and critique

Philosophical discussions of gentrification have tended to focus on residential displacement. However, the prevalence of residential displacement is fiercely contested, with many urban geographers regarding it as quite uncommon. This lends some urgency to the underexplored question of how one should evaluate other forms of gentrification. In this paper, I argue that one of the most important harms suffered by victims of displacement gentrification is loss of access to the goods conferred by membership in a thriving local community. Leveraging the social scientific literature, I go on to argue that non-displacement gentrification also often damages local communities. One can hence extend existing philosophical critiques of displacement gentrification to argue that non-displacement gentrification likewise poses a threat to relational equality, and often violates certain basic occupancy rights. Focusing on the value that inheres in thriving local communities also suggests some new possibilities for critiquing gentrification. For instance, existing occupancy rights critiques focus on incumbent land users' interests in stability. However, one can also argue in a Lockean mode that incumbent land users' occupancy rights are at least partially grounded in their community having laboured together to create objects of value. An extension of Michael Walzer's theory of justice to incorporate community goods as a separate 'sphere' might also have widespread appeal. Taken together, these arguments constitute a sustained and theoretically ecumenical case for the pro tanto moral objectionability of gentrification.

Resistance Against and Beyond Financialisation from the Vantage Point of Social Reproduction

This paper progresses research on resistance in the context of financialisation by drawing on various social reproduction legacies. I explore how social reproduction theory offers conceptual and methodological tools that can deepen research on de‐financialisation and resistance against predatory finance. Expanding upon relational approaches to social reproduction, this paper frames “the financialisation of social reproduction” as the dialectics between the reproduction of financialised capitalism and the regeneration of life. This supports a perspective on resistance through the identification and analysis of the interplay between the objective and subjective limits to the financial extraction from life. I examine how methodologies like “counter‐topographies” can demystify financialisation while supporting the cultivation of alternative geographies of finance. Through “financial counter‐topographies”, I explore how global reproductive entanglements contradictorily fragment working‐class interests across space while creating conditions to envision and cultivate de‐alienated financial landscapes. This approach seeks possibilities for collective action and international collaborations beyond financialisation.
