Schnelzer’s article reworks urban residential displacement as a differentiated process rather than as a single event of forced removal. Its iconic idea is the triad “becoming displaceable”, “feeling displacing” and “un/doing displacement”, which separates political-economic exposure, cognitive-affective experience and socio-spatial practice. The theoretical contribution is to make displacement legible before and beyond eviction: housing economies produce vulnerability, anticipation, manoeuvre, classed and racialised insecurity, and everyday forms of dislocation that may precede physical departure. Methodologically, the paper constructs a praxeological and Deleuze-informed conceptual framework attentive to non-linear temporality, relational power and situated agency. Its conceptual operation is processual displacement: the inhabitant is not simply displaced from a place, but made displaceable through shifting economic, affective and spatial conditions. The bridge to the wider field joins housing studies, gentrification research, affect theory, critical geography and political economy, expanding displacement into a diagnostic category of urban crisis.
