abstract: 'Considering contemporary urban contexts, where housing precarity is an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
eminent problem for the urban working poor, this research asks how those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employed as doorkeepers navigate everyday experiences of double
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
precarity, i.e., the risk of being simultaneously fired and evicted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Doorkeepers in Istanbul are minimum-wage workers and internal migrants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet, unlike other low-wage employees, they live rent-free in basement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
apartments in return for serving their neighbors who are also their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employers. Through the earthquake risk-driven urban transformation that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
necessitates demolition and reconstruction of more than 2,000 multi-unit
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
buildings in Istanbul''s upper-middle income neighborhoods, doorkeepers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are replaced with informal laborers or privatized outsourced services,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and hence experience simultaneous job loss and involuntary displacement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Employing an ethnographic examination of these workers and their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
precarity management strategies, this research suggests that studying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
experiences of intersecting employment and housing market precarities
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
allows us to extend our understanding of precarity beyond the labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
market. More specifically, this research suggests that precarious labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
processes are integral to housing precarity and should be studied in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
relation to both housing and shifting urban policies.'
