RGS-IBG 2020?Annual Conference, London, September 1-4 CFP brainstorm session: Housing and the value of attention Houses require attention. Whether they are occupied by their owners, rented, squatted, closed for the season, abandoned, or shared with AirBnB guests,
they depend on symbiotic human labor to keep them integral and functional as a dwelling. In order to provide us shelter, security, and sometimes wealth, they demand attention ? often only in the background, as a persistent hum with occasional bursts of need.
We respond with our labor to produce care and maintenance, sometimes consistently and repetitively and sometimes only in moments of crisis.<br>
Much of this labor, and its value, is difficult to observe, subsumed within the normative ?sweat equity? of owner-occupancy or the ongoing reproductive labor of care. With increasing forms of housing mobilities ? from the mobility of international investment
capital to home-sharing practices like AirBnB ? the labor of attention required by houses is becoming more palpable. This interactive paper session calls for short (5 minute) interventions about housing and ways of observing the value of attention, towards
a collective discussion and possible further collaborations.<br>
Some angles might be:<br>
-Side industries of cleaning and guardianship related to AirBnB -Caretaking of second or seasonal homes ? from owner or caretaker perspective -Contestations over care and maintenance of ?remittance? houses built by migrant -Co-ownership of housing (e.g. vacation
home) and management collectives -Property guardianship of vacant homes -International investment properties and the maintenance of ?property conditions?<br>
-Communal housing and maintenance governance structures -Multilocal lifestyles and maintenance of two houses for working and living -Technologies for monitoring home security, cleanliness and repair conditions Or methodological insights in investigating the
perpetual hum of attention required by housing Please send your abstract to (or register interest with)?l.wagner@maastrichtuniversity.nl?by Monday 10 February.<br>
