Neoliberalism and Homelessness: Analysis of Homeless People\u27s Stories of Their Situation

V diplomskem delu razmišljam o povezavi med neoliberalnimi politikami in stigmo, ki jo doživljajo brezdomci, začenši v temeljih (neo)liberalizma. Postavim neoliberalen okvir, znotraj katerega lahko kasneje pojmujem brezdomne osebe v sodobni družbi. Analizo opiram tudi na psihološke ideale liberalizma, ki jih je zapisal Beauvois leta 2000 v svojem delu Razprava o neoliberalni sužnosti. Mednje spada individualizacija odgovornosti posameznice_ka za svoja dejanja in svoje izhodišče, pa tudi ponotranjanje oziroma internalizacija te in preostalih vrednost, ki jih avtor definira za liberalne, sama pa jih vnesem še v neoliberalni kontekst. Internalnost predstavim kot družbeno normo. Nadalje kontekstualiziram brezdomnost kot družben fenomen v času in prostoru. Razmišljam o dejavnikih tveganja za nastanek brezdomne situacije in značajski stigmatizaciji, ki po Goffmanu pritiče marginalizirani brezdomni osebi. Na primeru kratkih izjav brezdomnih oseb časopisa Kralji ulice razmišljam, kako brezdomne osebe vidijo sebe, kako nanje gledajo drugi in kakšen vpliv ima to, socialno sebstvo, na njihovo predstavo o sebi.In my bachelor thesis, I am thinking about the connection between neoliberal policies and the stigma experienced by the homeless, starting from the foundations of (neo)liberalism. I set up a neoliberal framework within I later understand homeless people as a part of modern society. I also base my analysis on the psychological ideal of liberalism, which Beauvois described in 2000 in his work Traité de la servitude libérale. These include the individualization of responsibility for one\u27s actions and one\u27s starting point, as well as the internalization of these and other values, which the author defines as liberal, and which I myself bring into the neoliberal context. I present the internal value as a social norm. I further contextualize homelessness as a social phenomenon in time and space. I am thinking about the risk factors for the emergence of a homeless situation and the significant stigmatization that, according to Goffman, befalls a marginalized homeless person. On the example of short statements by homeless people in the newspaper Kralji ulice, I am thinking about how homeless people see themselves, how society view them and what influence this, the social self, has on their self-image
