“…Thus, a general theory must account for unit-dweller and unit-neighbourhood relationships, as well as multiple housing types and forms of tenure. (Horgan, 2020, p. 13) Housing and tenure stigma are difficult to grasp because, in almost all cases, they interact with other kinds of stigma, typically regarding territory/neighborhood, but also based on individual or group characteristics in terms of class, race/ethnicity, heritage, religion, health/disability, age, gender, and/or sexuality (for exam-ples see Elias & Scotson, 1994;Smets & Sneep, 2017). Moreover, there is often a general distrust among established residents toward newcomers, regardless of who they are.…”

This introduction to the thematic issue on housing and territorial stigma provides concise overviews of the concepts of stigma, housing stigma, and territorial (or neighborhood) stigma, while tracing back current research on these topics to the pioneering work of Erving Goffman and Loic Wacquant. In doing this, we place particular attention on social responses to, and coping strategies with, stigma, especially various forms of stigma resistance. Finally, in brief summaries of all articles in the thematic issue, we emphasize their shared themes and concerns.

“…The final article by Smets and Sneep (2015) explores the nexus of belonging at neighbourhood level in a multicultural context in the Netherlands. The authors usefully remind us that a single neighbourhood may contain composite social-spatial situations where proximity in diversity is not always peaceful.…”

The search for home as a material and symbolic space is an increasingly salient social question across contemporary multiethnic cities. The boundaries between what is public, communal and domestic are increasingly contested and yet remain a crucial issue, especially for minority groups such as immigrant and ethnic communities. The domestication of everyday living spaces carried out by immigrant and ethnic groups entails a variety of ways of 'cultivating home'. In a context characterized by transnational mobility, ethnic segregation and social marginality, domesticity-understood as the potential to enact a domestic dimension in meaningful places-is an important asset to resist present hardships, cultivate memory and lay out projects for the future. In this Editorial, we seek to untangle the multiple stakes entailed by the practices of 'making home' and 'feeling at home'. We invite scholars to observe how, even in minute and mundane details, dwelling places and the built environment come to be imbued with social and cultural meanings, which are pivotal to survival and social recognition. The articulation of domesticity, commonality and publicness can be fruitfully mapped through the concept of 'thresholds', which brings together the case studies that follow. By doing so, this Special Issue as a whole lays out a new research agenda at the intersection of housing, urban and migration studies.

“…Therefore, we use 'home' rather than 'housing' in this study. The value of home is also associated with social and emotional elements (Boccagni, 2017a;Duyvendak, 2011;Easthope, 2004;Ginsberg, 1999;Kusenbach and Paulsen, 2013;Mallett, 2004;Smets and Hellinga, 2014;Smets and Sneep, 2017). Although home can include housing, it is generally related with the senses of feeling at home, of belonging and of identity.…”

Recent socio-political situations in the Middle East and elsewhere have resulted in a large number of refugees searching for new places to settle. To understand how a new place could become a home, the authors conducted qualitative research in the Netherlands. The study looked at the home experiences and (micro)homemaking practices of young Syrian refugees in an innovative housing project in Amsterdam. In this project, Dutch and Syrian young adults are housed together to foster integration. This article also looks at Boccagni’s model for understanding immigrant live-in workers’ homes. The authors further develop the model by introducing a mobility lens, which offers the possibility of elaborating on theoretical notions between now-and-then and here-and-there and the empirical findings derived from this study.
