This study is about the struggle for legitimacy in place among a group of people often assumed to have neither. It examines the roll of informal placemaking and community building in struggles for settlement among people experiencing homelessness. It does so through ethnographic observation, photo-documentation, and participatory action research at three sites in Oakland, California, on which unhoused people (and some housed members of the surrounding community) have demonstrated bold forms of grassroots placemaking on public land. The first site, which came to be known as Housing and Dignity Village, was a small intentionally organized community of unhoused women and families that existed for 41 politically charged days in a low-income residential neighborhood before being cleared by authorities in 2018. The second, a highly visible piece of desirable city-owned land, has been occupied by unhoused people to varying degrees since 2016 while being considered for various housing development proposals. The third is the Wood Street Encampment, Oakland's largest encampment and one of its longest standing, which has survived numerous partial evictions and a web of jurisdictional authority to become home to an extensive and innovative informal community-building effort. Despite their differences, each offers a powerful case of place-based bottom-up community organizing among unhoused people, in which placemaking becomes part of a subtle politics of visibility, being, and legitimacy. The study argues that these instances and others not only demonstrate a different sort of placemaking, but demand that we reconsider and reclaim the concept itself.
这项研究是关于一群通常被认为既没有合法性也没有合法性的人之间的斗争。它考察了在无家可归者中为解决问题而进行的非正式场所建设和社区建设。它通过在加州奥克兰的三个地点进行人种学观察、照片记录和参与性行动研究来实现这一目标,在那里,无家可归的人(以及周围社区的一些有住房的成员)展示了在公共土地上建立基层场所的大胆形式。第一个地点后来被称为“住房和尊严村”(Housing and Dignity Village),这是一个由无家可归的妇女和家庭精心组织的小型社区,在一个低收入住宅区存在了41天的政治冲突,直到2018年被当局清理。第二个是一块非常显眼的城市拥有的理想土地,自2016年以来,它一直被不同程度的无家可归者占用,同时被考虑用于各种住房开发提案。第三个是伍德街营地,这是奥克兰最大的营地,也是历史最悠久的营地之一,它经历了无数次的部分驱逐和司法当局的网络,成为广泛和创新的非正式社区建设努力的家园。尽管它们之间存在差异,但它们都提供了一个强有力的案例,即在无家可归的人群中,基于场所的自下而上的社区组织,在这种情况下,场所的建立成为了一种微妙的可见性、存在性和合法性政治的一部分。该研究认为,这些例子和其他例子不仅展示了一种不同的场所营造方式,而且要求我们重新考虑和重新定义这个概念本身。

Far from activism in formal groups or in visible and vocal demonstrations stands a type of citizen participation observed through everyday practices and daily activities in the public sphere. Targeted citizen actions in urban spaces, dumpster diving, responsible consumption movements or small acts of everyday resistance are all examples of what we call informal modes of participation. Such initiatives are not new, nor do they pertain to a particular geographic arena. However, it is only recently that social scientists have started to pay attention to such activities: scholars from urban studies, development studies, political sociology, and critical geography have started to address this phenomenon. After discussing the existing literature on this topic, this introduction proceeds to define and operationalize the concept of informal participation, while also providing a common analytical framework for dialogue among the six contributions to this special issue briefly described in the last section below.
