Description
Home
Home articulates a âcritical geography of homeâ in which home is understood as an emotive place and spatial imaginary that encompasses lived experiences of everyday domestic life alongside a wider and often contested sense of being and belonging in the world. Engaging with the burgeoning cross-disciplinary interest in home since the first edition was published this significantly revised and updated second edition contains new research boxes illustrations and contemporary examples throughout. It also adds a new chapter on âHome and the Cityâ that extends the scalar understanding of home to the urban.
The book develops the conceptual and methodological underpinnings of a critical geography of home drawing on key feminist postcolonial and housing thinkers as well as contemporary methodological currents in non-representational thinking and performance. The bookâs chapters consider the making and unmaking of home across the domestic scale â house-as-home; the urban â city-as-home; national â nation-as-home; and homemaking in relation to transnational migration and diaspora. Each chapter includes illustrative examples from diverse geographical contexts and historical time periods. Chapters also address some of the key cross-cutting dimensions of home across these scales including digital connectivity art and performance more-than-human constructions of home and violence and dispossession. The book ends with a research agenda for home in a world of COVID-19.
The book provides an understanding of home that has three intersecting dimensions: that material and imaginative geographies of home are closely intertwined; that home power and identity are intimately linked; and that geographies of home are multi-scalar. This framework the examples used to illustrate it and the intended audience of academics and students across the humanities and social sciences will together shape the field of home studies into the future.
