Abstract

Homelessness is a punishing condition that inflicts unquestionable harm on those who experience it. It is also a social problem that starkly lays bare deep societal failure. As this book shows, society - along with the public policy measures intended to address it - treats being homeless as an identity, casting those who experience homelessness as fundamentally different from 'us'. To be homeless is to face daily victimization, to be a recipient of someone else's care and to have autonomy taken away. Cameron Parsell shows that we have at our disposal the knowledge and momentum to demonstrably reduce and even end homelessness. Our first task in this pursuit is to confront the fact that homelessness is a relatively predictable phenomenon that disproportionately impacts people who are failed by society in myriad ways. We must then respond to the problem in ways that understand and thus do not recreate the dehumanizing conditions experienced by those who are homeless. Homelessness is a choice: of how we organize society. Sketching the defining features of homelessness, this critical introduction will be a valuable resource for students studying homelessness, housing, marginality and poverty across the social sciences and social work.

Abstract

This book argues that the rapid development of anti-vagrancy laws in the late nineteenth century, which were written alongside widespread public fascination with 'tramps', facilitated a transatlantic dialogue between sources eager to modernize the state's ability to describe, catalogue, and manage this roving population. Almost always depicted as white, solitary, and artistic, the tramp character was once a menacing threat to society only to disappear from the public eye by the postwar period. This book brings to light the often-surprising lines of influence between authors, sociologists, and government authorities who alike seized on the social panic around tramping in order to reimagine the relation of work to national citizenship.

Abstract

Encore trop peu abordée, la question des sans domiciles reste encore à l'heure actuelle un réel enjeu social et sociétal. Afin de faire le point sur la situation aujourd'hui en France, Axelle Brodiez-Dolino établit une histoire du sans-abrisme au sein de l'hexagone depuis 1950, à travers l'exemple de l'institution lyonnaise le Foyer Notre-Dame des Sans-abri.

Abstract

Face aux phénomènes d’engorgement des urgences, les politiques de santé s’orientent aujourd’hui vers une restriction de l’accueil centré sur les pathologies graves. Cependant, pour de nombreuses personnes sans-abri, les urgences de l’hôpital public continuent de représenter une solution pour des besoins de soins ordinaires, d’assistance, voire d’hébergement. L’exemple du patient sans-abri pousse alors à son paroxysme les tensions qui se manifestent dans ces services, tiraillés entre « l’urgence médicale » et « l’urgence sociale ». Au moyen d’une enquête par immersion, cet ouvrage explore les formes de mobilisation des personnels des urgences face à la grande précarité des patients sans-abri. Comment gérer les priorités ? Comment assurer à la fois le soin, l’assistance, le tri des malades, la gestion des flux et la régulation des dépenses hospitalières ? À cet égard, la situation étudiée apparaît emblématique d’un ensemble plus vaste d’exigences en tension, voire en contradiction auquel l’hôpital public est aujourd’hui confronté.

Abstract

"Qui sont les sans-abri?" ; "Comment devient-on SDF?" ; "Sommes-nous tous susceptibes de nous retrouver un jour à la rue ?" ; "Comment peut-on s'installer durablement dans le sans-abrisme?" sont quelques-unes des questions que chacun d'entre nous est amené à se poser face à un phénomène en expansion dans la plupart de nos grandes villes depuis une quinzaine d'années. Le présent ouvrage propose un éclairage pluriel sur une problématique complexe, en l'abordant dans une optique comparative et multidisciplinaire. Afin de mettre en lumière les traits communs aux personnes sans-abri et à leur parcours de vie, l'ouvrage explore trois "terrains" distincts : la Belgique, la France et le Portugal.
