The Fictions of Real Estate

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, we meet neighbors and residents who have organized themselves to nurture lands they belong to, while Lauren Williams outlines seductive narratives of pioneerism, emptiness and care that beg the question of whether all property might be virtual.


    In her eyes, land speculation, the financialization of housing markets, and urban “blight,” all feel more than a little esoteric, as if confusion is the point. Here, Williams clears the smoke and cracks the mirrors, braiding histories of property valuation, colonialism, and displacement from the Detroit River to the Mediterranean Sea.


    This limited series was dreamed up, written and produced by Lauren Williams; essays were co-produced by my dear friend Ayinde Jean-Baptiste; and the audio was engineered by Conor Anderson. Featured guests include Myrtle Thompson-Curtis, Nate Mullen and Kyle Whyte. Excerpts from several references were read by voice actors Joy Vandervort-Cobb. Our theme music is the instrumentals from a song called Detroit Summer by Invincible and Waajeed, courtesy of Emergence Media.


    Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
