“…Narratives comparing one's own place to others can be used to invoke symbolic boundaries around places and the groups inhabiting them, creating important distinctions between groups (for more on symbolic boundaries, see Lamont & Molnár, 2002). In doing so, residents affirm that their social location, moral worth, and physical location correspond (Benson & Jackson, 2013;Elwood et al, 2015;Jackson & Benson, 2014;Savage et al, 2004;Watt, 2009; also see Boterman et al, 2018). Alongside elites' exercise of economic power, place narratives can be used to affirm or contest proposed projects and land use policies.…”

“…Academics differ, however, in their assessment of which criteria should be used to define social class. Accordingly, affluent communities have been defined by real estate prices and rates of homeownership (Duncan & Duncan, 2004; Watt, 2009), average household incomes (Manzo, 2019), the concentration of ultra‐high net worth individuals (Beaverstock et al., 2013; Burrows et al., 2017), the gap between top earners and other residents (Farrell, 2021; Stuber, 2021), and the concentration of economic, social, and cultural capital (Benson, 2014; Boterman et al., 2018; Cunningham, 2019; Cunningham & Savage, 2017; Savage et al., 2004). Like many sociologists and cultural geographers, our approach to social class includes its economic manifestations, but also attends to its social and cultural components.…”

On place and privilege: Varieties of affluence in cities and neighborhoods

Affluent people have long used places, including residential areas and their associated commercial districts and public spaces, as markers of class status. In doing so, they have often sought places that are homogeneous in terms class, and often race/ethnicity, and sought to preserve elite enclaves through a variety of policies and practices. But as we detail here, affluent people are now drawn to different types of residential settings, and their presence influences these places in sometimes surprising ways. In this essay, we review both exclusionary forms of affluent placemaking and more complex and varied forms emerging in gentrifying and super-gentrifying places. There, the strategies that affluent residents use to create and preserve places have become more varied, as have the relationships between place and class status. These more nuanced understandings of class and place reflects scholars' heightened interest in the cultural dimensions of social class, intersections of race and class, and attention to the ways in which class and affluence reflect and influence the political context.

“…Recently, scholars from a variety of research fields have increasingly engaged with the concept of belonging (e.g. Antonsich, 2010; Bennett, 2015; Guibernau, 2013; Kuurne and Gómez, 2019; May, 2011; Savage et al, 2005; Yuval-Davis, 2006, 2011).

In some cases, belonging is formal and based on legal categories.…”

Developing the Concept of Belonging Work for Social Research

This article continues the conceptual work of developing a process-oriented perspective on belonging by taking up the active engagement of affiliation (and disaffiliation) as an undertheorised yet necessary aspect of accomplishing belonging. In developing the concept we draw on Marx’s notion of work as material activity in forms of life and the sociological concepts of face-work and emotion work. We conceptualise belonging work as relational work concerned with shaping situational interactions; webs of relationships; social boundaries; and materials and rhythms as dimensions of belonging. This work is conditioned by social categorisations and patterns of inclusion and exclusion through which it takes place in relation to specific forms of life. The concept of belonging work offers a theoretically integrative and sensitising concept that highlights the relational dynamics of belonging, providing insight and inspiration to social researchers inquiring into the work of belonging and its associated social consequences throughout the research process.

“…Several important studies have focused on belonging in urban spaces by examining political and social sites of exclusion, boundary-making and social differentiation. For example, Savage, Bagnall, and Longhurst's (2005) study of suburban Manchester argued for an "elective" belonging built upon choice and differentiation rather than historical and intergenerational attachment to a particular place. They argue that different forms of capital and social imaginations are used to compare various places and discern the opportunities that each of them bring to individuals and their family members.…”

Formations of belonging inAustralia: The role of nostalgia in experiences of time and place

Although residential mobility has been studied at length, residential immobility has been addressed comparatively rarely. In this article, we draw on interviews conducted with 35 participants aged 38–39 in 2012 in Victoria, Australia, in which they were asked to reflect on their lives over the previous 20 years, focusing specifically on those who have remained in or returned to the areas in which they grew up. We focus on the role of nostalgia in the participants' experiences of and relationships with place, finding that far from signifying a purely, or even predominantly, melancholic experience their expressions of nostalgia held the power to enliven the present, even while anchoring them to the past. We contend that nostalgia can form an integral part of practices that reconcile continuity and change and produce feelings of familiarity and comfort, which buffer individuals against the uncertainties associated with wider contexts shaped by rapid social change.
