{"product_id":"beyond-inhabitation-michele-lancione-9781478039433","title":"Beyond Inhabitation: Housing and Ordinary Desire at the Edge","description":"In this provocative exploration, Michele Lancione and AbdouMaliq Simone examine housing not as shelter or asset but as an operation shaping desires, bodies, and possibilities of urban life. Drawing on experiences from Jakarta to Naples, Bucharest to Dakar, Lancione and Simone reveal how the \"thing of the house\" works as a magnetic field, promising belonging while simultaneously producing forms of captivity and violence. Through three key operations--spacing, seeing, and surfacing--they unpack how housing interrupts and rearranges life under racial capitalism, creating subjects who must constantly negotiate between habitation and its annihilation. \u003ci\u003eBeyond Inhabitation\u003c\/i\u003e challenges conventional housing studies by centering the house itself as an active force that mediates between the intimate and structural, the ordinary and catastrophic. By attending to how people at the thresholds of dispossession hold onto housing's promise despite its failures, the authors illuminate the edges where new forms of collective life might emerge--beyond the current fold of habitation, toward more liberatory futures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michele Lancione,Abdoumaliq Simone\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478039434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478039433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Michele Lancione","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997541249279,"sku":"9781478039433","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/beyond-inhabitation-michele-lancione-9781478039433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
