What Was Squatting, and What Comes Next?: The Mystery of Property in New York City, 1984-2014
Abstract: What Was Squatting, and What Comes Next?: The Mystery of Property in New York City, 19842014 by Amy Starecheski Advisor: Katherine Verdery Framing property as a socio-historical process and squatters as situated actors within that process, this dissertation seeks to understand how a relatively stable and hegemonic property regime, such as private property in the United States, works and changes. Squatting is an ideal lens for understanding the complex transformation of private property, as it leads us to the times and places where the political and moral economies of property are actively contested and renegotiated. Squatters who make successful claims on property draw our attention to disjunctures between the moral economy and the legal system of property. Squatters had a complex and dynamic relationship with private property, simultaneously using, transforming and challenging the cultural materials that make up the private property regime. New York City in the 1980s and ‘90s was home to a squatting movement unlike any other in the United States. Squatters on the Lower East Side took over abandoned buildings in the aftermath of New York City’s fiscal crisis, occupying land in a neoliberalizing city, in a gentrifying neighborhood, and making claims on it that challenged those ways of being in the city. In a context of austerity, in which city government was shifting its focus from caring for citizens to creating an attractive environment for business and economic elites, squatters simply took what they thought was their fair share of the city’s resources and offered their labor in return, using the symbolic social resources of homeownership to make property and citizenship claims. Disentangling occupation, stewardship, and ownership, squatters highlight the tensions between the home as a commodity and source of equity and the home as a shelter for the family, or even a human right.

Refashioning the Sociopolitical in Spanish Modernist Literature (1902-1914)
TL;DR: Lopez et al. as discussed by the authors argue that the modernist breakthroughs achieved by Jose Martinez Ruiz's La voluntad (1902), Ramon del Valle-Inclan's Sonata de otono (1904), and Miguel de Unamuno's Niebla (1914) emerged as a response to the shortsightedness of the revolutionary politics that had taken root in Restoration Spain.
