People often overlook the uncanny nature of homecomings, writing
off the experience of finding oneself at home in a strange place or
realizing that places from our past have grown strange. This book
challenges our assumptions about the value of home, arguing for the
ethical value of our feeling displaced and homeless in the 21st
century. Home is explored in places ranging from digital keyboards
to literary texts, and investigates how we mediate our homecomings
aesthetically through cultural artifacts (art, movies, television
shows) and conceptual structures (philosophy, theology, ethics,
narratives). In questioning the place of home in human lives and
the struggles involved with defining, defending, naming and
returning to homes, the volume collects and extends ideas about
home and homecomings that will inform traditional problems in novel
ways.
