Examines how suburbanites form community in the face of neoliberal isolation. An activist group in outer London' s Surbiton suburb, the Seething Villagers commemorate a fictional local history through tongue-in-cheek community festivals. These admittedly "stupid" gatherings celebrate a mythical village of Seething and its many adventures, including a run-in with a mountain-crushing giant. Citizenship, Democracy and Belonging in Suburban Britain explores how the Seething Villagers and other suburbanite fantasies fashion community in the face of neoliberal isolation. By taking the artists' playfulness seriously, David Jeevendrampillai demonstrates how suburbanites develop fellow-feeling without access to traditional community centers.
David Jeevendrampillai is Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Anthropology, UCL. His research explores the relationship between people and place, notions of belonging, territoriality and the politics of place making. He has written on practices of knowing and representing place, including mapping, walking, parading and ' local' carnivals, planning policy and academic research practice.
