- Dispersed Dwelling as Enforced CommoningHomeless Newcomers in Berlin’s Hostel Industry
- Abstract
- Considering the various hostels and guesthouses in Berlin that economically revolve around the presence of homeless newcomers as an urban household practice of commoning shifts the perspective to a social metabolism of intangible goods, where information, relations and values are circulated and shared. This analysis can help to reimagine the urban communitisation. This way of thinking creates a link between private home and public welfare in order to argue and shape alternatives to the commodification of housing.
