Thinking Home: Interdisciplinary Dialogues: Home

Editat de Sanja Bahun, Bojana Petric
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iun 2020
Thinking Home challenges and extends the existing scholarship on the subject of ‘home’ in a period which has seen unprecedented levels of movement cross the globe. Sanja Bahun and Bojana Petric have collated essays that revisit existing ideas to introduce new ways of thinking on home, from the individual and local, through communal, to the international levels. While home informs our feelings of belonging and displacement, and our activities, such as migration, housing, and language learning, Bahun, Petric and contributors look to specific under-studied areas and encompass them within a major framework that allows for assessment through multiple disciplinary and expressive lenses. Thinking Home examines examples such as temporary homes, homes on the road, new and emergent modes of home-making, and minority groups in home and housing debates. Fresh, timely and topical, Thinking Home is rooted in activism and policy-making in the sector of 'home'; the essays both challenge and extend the existing scholarship on this subject. This collection combines perspectives of aesthetics, anthropology, cultural and literary studies, law, linguistics, philosophy, sociology, psychoanalysis, political science and activist responses in one whole. It will be essential reading for students of anthropology, literary studies, cultural studies and philosophy.

Recenzii

"Thinking Home is an extraordinary collection of thought, emotion, and image depicting the most sacred, common, and elusive space in a human’s life – home. Through social science, humanities, fiction, art, and memoir, the chapters describe experiences that expand ‘home’ from a monolithic version of the idealized space into rooms where conflict, reconciliation, and self-actualization are formed through lived experiences in communities and out of communities in isolation. Highly recommended - Marc Roark, Savannah Law School, USAThe editors have gathered an interesting array of empirical and theoretical contributions, ranging across a wide spectrum of disciplines, which individually offer new and valuable insights. The editors' introductions to each theme , link chapters with the broader issues identified in their overall introduction and create a coherent framework to draw the diverse contributions together. - Ullrich Kockel, Heriot-Watt University, UKThinking Home is a brilliantly conceived volume which manages to bring together, seamlessly and cohesively, twelve distinct positions on the notion of home and its many derivatives: homeness, homelessness, home-making, homeland, homesickness, etc. It is a powerful collection of essays that investigates, and indeed thinks deeply of, the human experience of homeliness and unhomeliness and, at the same time, how our position vis-à-vis these concepts defines our very thought and speech. - Marinos Pourgouris, University of Cyprus, Cyprus"
