Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Within critical social
science, the housing question has been historically
marginalized over (other) workplace struggles (Gray, 2018).
The home as a workplace of racialized and gendered
reproductive labour has been treated as secondary to matters
of (industrial) production. Even urban studies most often
centre around “public” space, workplace struggles or, when
considered specifically with housing, its role as an asset.
This is paralleled by the marginalization of women’s
presences, participation and leadership of social struggles
around housing (Hughes, Wright, 2018). Symbolic for a
dominance of androcentric perspectives in society, academia
and unfortunately many political struggles, the question of
the reproductive sphere, its relevance for capitalism and
social relations in total, and hence its strategic position
for transformative politics has been either ignored or treated
as a separate and secondary issue. Ignorant of ground-breaking
analytical and political feminist work (Dalla Costa, 2019;
Federici, 2012, 2004) demonstrating the centrality of
relations of social reproduction in capitalism, even critical
housing scholars have neglected in-depth analyses of questions
around racialized and gendered relations of social
reproduction, at most mentioning them in passing (Aalbers,
Christophers, 2014). </span></font></p>

dir="ltr"><font size="-2"><span style="font-family:
Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">While feminist accounts
of social reproduction (Bhattacharya, Vogel, 2017) are
reviving in the face of deepening multiple crises and social
inequalities, systematic feminist analyses of the housing
question remain sporadic (Roberts, 2013; Watson, 1986).</span></font></p>

dir="ltr"><font size="-2"><span style="font-family:
Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We believe that a lot is
to be learnt from reconceptualizing critical housing
scholarship through the prism of social reproduction. In
doing so, we suggest considering relational approaches,
linking the micro-social sphere of the household to societal
relations of reproduction. Whereas critical social theories on
the neoliberalization of work have long emphasized its
relational effects as competitive, divisive and isolating
(Sennett, 1998), we are curious about relational analyses on
the neoliberalization of housing.</span></font></p>

dir="ltr"><font size="-2"><span style="font-family:
Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Hence we propose to
reconsider relations of reproduction and relations around the
sphere of social reproduction as an entrypoint to critical
urban analysis. In homes, the centres of daily lives,
relations of social reproduction meet institutions of private
property, the dominant relation-way of capitalism (Adamczak,
2017). In contexts of state withdrawal and increasing housing
financialization, this encounter is often violent. As
reproductive spaces are politically turned into scarce market
goods on an internationally competitive housing market, we are
interested in the consequences for social and reproductive
relations on different scales. </span></font></p>

the changing role of the state in social reproduction and
