Descrizione

People who are homeless represent – today as a hundred years ago – one of the most extreme forms of poverty. Too often, the lack of recognition of the social problem adds up to the personal drama of a condition of grave poverty. Following Nels Anderson’s unsurpassed text The Hobo as a conceptual map, a reflection on some selected theoretical and analytical points related to homelessness is proposed. Retraced the genesis of Anderson’s research, from a perspective of comparison and dialogue with the classic, we will focus on the defining aspects of the phenomenon; the themes of work/non-work and marginalization in the urban context will be investigated; finally, the most
current reconfiguration of the processes of material and relational impoverishment and the dynamics of exclusion in the contemporary socioeconomic background will be analyzed.
