| Abstract | This article examines Chicago's ongoing public housing reforms and more b welfare reform, as a kind of sensory politics. I analyze experiences of home h at a redeveloping public housing project to establish how neoliberal demands f responsibility have become tied to demands that transitioning residents recon their subjective senses of comfort. These twin demands have distributed the r transitioning out of public housing across an individual's understanding of per security as well as her obligations to kin. I show how approaching welfare ref a sensory politics illuminates the emerging conditions of political recognition ava Chicago public housing residents as their longstanding representational bodies obsolescence. Moreover, I argue that this approach invites us to reconsider the of contestation and survival within urban poor people's social movements. |
