Abstract:

This book offers a close look at the discourse of and around three socially
marginalised and vulnerable groups – Irish Travellers, Squatters and Homeless
people – in order to understand more about how individuals within them
position themselves vis-à-vis mainstream society. It investigates the groups'
diverse and provisional relationship with space that challenges mainstream
society's spatial logic.<p>
Given that the relationship between mobility, space and identity has been
explored in migrant contexts, Roberta Piazza proposes a reconsideration of
this relationship beyond people's movement from one place to another.
Investigating the space-identity nexus among the three groups, she highlights
how mobility is not solely a cross-country phenomenon, but a no-less crucial
and dramatic reality within an individual nation.<p>
Based on close linguistic analysis of interviews collected over many years,
Piazza investigates how the participants construct their social and personal
identities when talking about themselves and the sites they inhabit, drawing
on the concepts of 'heterotopia' and non-sexual desire.<p>
