Housing and Home Unbound pioneers understandings of housing and
home as a meeting ground in which intensive practices, materials
and meanings tangle with extensive economic, environmental and
political worlds. Cutting across disciplines, the book opens up the
conceptual and empirical study of housing and home by exploring the
coproduction of the concrete and the abstract, the intimate and the
institutional, the experiential and the collective. Exploring
diverse examples in Australia and New Zealand, contributors address
the interleaving of money and materials in the digital commodity of
real estate, the neoliberal invention of housing as a liquid asset
and source of welfare provision, and the bundling of car and home
in housing markets. The more-than-human relations of housing and
home are articulated through the role of suburban nature in the
making of Australian modernity, the marketing of nature in
waterfront urban renewal, the role of domestic territory in
subversive social movements such as Seasteading and Tiny Houses,
and the search for home comfort through low-cost energy efficiency
practices. The transformative politics of housing and home are
explored through the decolonizing of housing tenure, the shaping of
housing policy by urban social movements, the lived importance of
marginal spaces in Indigenous and other housing, and the affective
lessons of the ruin. Beginning with the diverse elements gathered
together in housing and home, the text opens up the complex
realities and possibilities of human dwelling.
