During the past decade, homelessness became a widespread phenomenon in the United States for the first time since the Great Depression. The public frequently blamed the poor for their plight. Journalistic and academic accounts, in contrast, often evoked pathos and pity, regarding the homeless primarily as objects of treatment and rehabilitation. David Wagner challenges both of these dominant images, offering an ethnographic portrait of the poor that reveals their struggle not only to survive but also to create communities on the streets and to develop social movements on their own behalf. Definitely not passive victims, the homeless of Checkerboard Square survive within an alternative street culture, with its own norms and social organization, in a world often hidden from the view of researchers, journalists, and social workers.Checkerboard Square reveals the daily struggle of street people to organize their lives in the face of rejection by employers, government, landlords, and even their own families. Looking beyond the well-documented causes of homelessness such as lack of affordable housing or unemployment, Wagner shows how the poor often become homeless through resistance to the discipline of the workplace, authoritarian families, and the bureaucratic social welfare system. He explains why the crisis of homelessness is not only about the lack of services, housing, and jobs but a result of the very structure of the dominant institutions of work, family, and public social welfare.

Culture And Resistance In A Homeless Community

Checkerboard Square

"Translator Rick Montoya is looking forward to a quiet weekend away in beautiful Urbino with his girlfriend, Betta, an art fraud investigator for the Italian Culture Ministry. While Betta does have official business-namely, collecting a priceless Piero drawing from a wealthy Spanish collector-she asks Rick to join her "in case she needs an interpreter," but with other, less-official intentions in mind. When the Spaniard is found murdered and the drawing stolen, Betta must shift back into art cop mode, and Rick's official services are required after all. Will this lovers' getaway literally be to die for?"--

David Wagner wandert durch die Stadt, allein, manchmal in Begleitung. Was ist die Stadt? Wie lässt sie sich beschreiben? Immer wieder stößt er auf die Trümmer der deutschen Geschichte. Wagner erzählt, wie sehr sich die Stadt in den letzten zehn Jahren verändert hat. Er macht ein Praktikum als Türsteher in der "Flittchen Bar", trifft die Füchse auf der Pfaueninsel und einen müden Bürgermeister neben einem Bärenkostüm. Er spaziert durch die Randgebiete und durch den alten Westen. Er geht die Baustellen ab und erinnert sich an Baulücken. David Wagner läuft seit zwanzig Jahren kreuz und quer durch Berlin. Er ist ein Stadtwanderer, "in Halbtrance, gepaart mit dem Willen zur illusionslosen Genauigkeit", wie die Wochenzeitung Die Zeit meinte.

This book is a compilation of reviews about the complication of Type 1 Diabetes. T1D is a classic autoimmune disease. Genetic factors are clearly determinant but cannot explain the rapid, even overwhelming expanse of this disease. Understanding etiology and pathogenesis of this disease is essential. The complications associated with T1D cover a range of clinical obstacles. A number of experts in the field have covered a range of topics for consideration that are applicable to researcher and clinician alike. This book provides apt descriptions of cutting edge technologies and applications in the ever going search for treatments and cure for diabetes.

This is a first-time study of formerly homeless people showing how people become and then leave the state of homelessness. Using a sample of people from across the nation and of different sexes, races, and ethnicities, Wagner suggests the key variables in ending homelessness for individuals as well as communities.

Annotation This book contains the proceedings of the EUROCRYPT '87 conference, a workshop on theory and applications of cryptographic techniques held at Amsterdam, April 1987. 26 papers were selected from over twice that number submitted to the program committee. The authors come from Europe, North America, and Japan and represent some of the leading research groups working in the fields of cryptography and data security. The subjects covered include sequences and linear complexity; hardware considerations, including random sources, physical security, and cryptographic algorithm implementation; topics in public key cryptography; authentication and secure transactions; hash functions and signatures; and the theory and application of symmetric ciphers.

"Die schönste Serie, die es überhaupt gibt, ist die Serialität der gelebten Tage. In Interferenz mit dieser Subjektserialität läuft die fast genauso schöne objektive Serialität der Medien; der Zeitungen und Zeitschriften, der Dailies und Weeklies. In Französisch laufen die beiden Phänomene in dem einen Wort 'Journal' zusammen: Tagebuch und Zeitung." (Rainald Goetz, Mosse-Lecture im Mai 2012, Berlin)

The war on drugs ... the campaigns against smoking cigarettes ... v-chips to control what children watch on TV ... censoring the Internet and Calvin Klein jeans ads...bipartisan lectures about the dangers of teen sex ... constant warnings about food and fat ... all are examples of what David Wagner terms the "New Temperance." The New Temperance contrasts the new obsession with personal behavior in America during the last two decades with the brief period of relative freedom in the 1960s and early 1970s and suggests strong consistencies with our past. In particular, the late twentieth century appears to have re-created the mood of the Victorian and Progressive Periods, when social movements such as the Temperance, Social Purity, and Vice and Vigilance movements held sway. The New Temperance questions the constant mantra in the media and in political debates about the dangers of personal behavior and challenges America's love affair with repression.

Gehen, das heißt auch: flanieren, spazieren, sich treiben lassen, Umwege nehmen. Im Gehen zeigt sich die Kartographie unseres raumbezogenen Möglichkeitssinns. Als eine von den Umständen bedingte Praxis wird es im Gehen aber auch immer dort reizvoll, ja, gefährlich, wo den Gehenden Grenzen gesetzt werden: Wo Werbung, Straßenschilder, Mauern und Zäune unsere Gehgeschwindigkeiten bestimmen. Wo inmitten der Architektur unsere Emotionen geformt werden. Und wo zwischen den Rastern der Norm – von der Bordsteinkante bis zur Skyline – die Stadt aufscheint.

metamorphosen 27 – Gehen

Many of us grew up hearing our parents exclaim 'you are driving me to the poorhouse!' or remember the card in the 'Monopoly' game which says 'Go to the Poorhouse! Lose a Turn!' Yet most Americans know little or nothing of this institution that existed under a variety of names for approximately three hundred years of American history. Surprisingly these institutions variously named poorhouses, poor farms, sometimes almshouses or workhouses, have received rather scant academic treatment, as well, though tens of millions of poor people were confined there, while often their neighbors talked in hushed tones and in fear of their own fate at the 'specter of the poorhouse.' Based on the author's study of six New England poorhouses/poor farms, a hidden story in America's history is presented which will be of popular interest as well as useful as a text in social welfare and social history. While the poorhouse's mission was character reform and 'repressing pauperism, ' these goals were gradually undermined by poor people themselves, who often learned to use the poorhouse for their own benefit, as well as by staff and officials of the houses, who had agendas sometimes at odds with the purposes for which the poorhouse was invented.
