Social housing and governmentality in Latin America. Homeownership as a mode of political subjectivation

Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to contribute to the debate that has been going on for some years
in the social sciences on how neo-liberal governmentality affects subjectivities. He is
interested in the links between access to property and the political production of urban
spaces in Latin America, considering this process as one of the effects of this subjectivation.
Through a study of the political rationality of the housing subsidy program
developed in Ecuador since 1998 and a survey carried out in Quito among a group of
women who have benefited from it, it seeks to shed light on how this means of access to
housing has a concrete effect on the transformation of subjectivities, leading to a
weakening of the "general will" of individuals. It shows that this can be achieved through
the objectification of the "beneficiaries", individual responsibility, the standardization of the
relationship to housing and the depoliticization of forms of social regulation.
