    Navigating Uncertainty: Understanding Housing Insecurity Among Low-Income Families

    No full text
    This dissertation examines the persistent U.S. affordable housing crisis and its implications for low-income families through three related studies. Using qualitative narrative data from in-depth interviews with Housing Choice Voucher recipients in the Seattle metropolitan area, it explores how housing insecurity is experienced, navigated, and responded to. Together, these chapters provide a comprehensive analysis of the dynamics of housing insecurity, emphasizing the interplay between structural limitations, social relationships, and individual decision-making. Chapter 2 examines the common drivers of housing insecurity, revealing both a high frequency of forced and reactive moves and a high prevalence of such moves across the sample. Based on these findings, this study provides recommendations to improve common survey measures, advocating for broader frameworks to capture housing insecurity fully. Chapter 3 focuses on doubling up arrangements, this sample's most common response to housing crises. I present three categorizations of doubling up arrangements—stable and supportive, stable yet strained, and fragile—demonstrating that while under the best conditions, doubling up can offer stable housing, childcare, and emotional support, even hosts that are secure or willing to provide consistent support encounter challenges that strain these arrangements. Less stable shared housing arrangements, such as when hosts depend on housing assistance, tend to be short-lived and precarious. Chapter 4 more broadly examines the decision-making process of families seeking shelter following a housing crisis. Families facing tight timelines and scarce resources must make challenging compromises on their well-being. In addition, selecting from a suboptimal set of housing strategies creates additional consequences for families and their children. Together, these chapters reveal that housing insecurity is often an ongoing process in which one episode of insecurity contributes to the next and the solutions families turn to can leave them vulnerable to additional precarity. The insights from this dissertation contribute to our understanding of how poverty and inequality are reproduced among low-income families

    Jacqueline Risset. Scritture dell’istante

    No full text
    “Born on 25th May 1936. Two specific desires: not to become an adult, and to write”. Jacqueline Risset (1936-2014) was a translator from French (Ponge, Sollers, the Tel Quel poets) and Italian (Dante, Machiavelli, Balestrini), as well as a well-known scholar for her work on Scève, Proust and Bataille. The aim of this volume is to analyse Risset’s poetic work, from the beginnings with textual writing in the experimentalism of Tel Quel, through a trajectory that, crossing Dante and Stilnovism through the translation of the Divine Comedy, led the author to the elaboration of a poetics centred on “privileged instants” that open “to the elsewhere”
