Below the paper thumbnail is a large quote: "The conceptual framing of everyday carcerality provokes questions on intimate yet often invisible interconnections among housing, homing, and carcerality in geographies that are not prison, yet are connected to the logics and logistics of the punitive state and its deepening entanglements with capitalist extraction of land and housing value."

Light grey background graphic with a black pill-shaped tag reading "PAPER" in the top left and the USF logo in the top right. Large bold text reads: "Who is a construction worker? Bureaucratic arbitrariness, entrepreneurial unions and performances of eligibility in Delhi." Author's name "Sanjeev Routray" and a right-pointing arrow appear at the bottom. Light grey background graphic displaying a preview of the academic article. Below the preview is a quote: "As the bureaucrats of labour boards arbitrarily pronounce themselves as authenticators and the union agents embrace an ethic of usefulness, the workers must systematically perform that they are genuine workers by deploying a wide variety of cultural and bodily tactics to prove their authenticity and claim their entitlements. In so doing, they deploy their speech-acts, comportments, physical attributes and bodily signs as evidence for their claims as worker-citizens."
