Abitare stanca
Spazio di vita e di riproduzione sociale, la casa è anche, sempre di più, una merce. La promozione della proprietà di massa è stata il fulcro della rivoluzione conservatrice che ha schiacciato le lotte sociali e cancellato le politiche urbanistiche e abitative del Secondo dopoguerra; è stata uno strumento di creazione di consenso e di un’egemonia culturale che ha reso possibile presentare come ‘naturali’ gli interessi di una minuscola parte di popolazione: quella più ricca. Il repertorio di argomenti usati per legittimare questa operazione – fatto di ‘valorizzazione’, ‘miglioramento’, ’efficienza’ e ‘modernizzazione’ – viene da molto lontano. Ricostruendo i percorsi familiari e i fatti storici, passando attraverso nazioni e città diverse, l’autrice di questo saggio mette assieme i tasselli che hanno composto il quadro della situazione abitativa all’inizio del nuovo millennio, dipingendo uno scenario contemporaneo in cui, contrariamente a quanto ci viene raccontato, il problema della casa non riguarda solo ‘gli ultimi’: riguarda una visione di società.
