A 'dwelling', or the physical space we call a house, is full of
meaning for us. It can be implacable, in that it can work for or
against us, depending on how we are able to access and use it. This
means that we have to learn to accept dwelling as it is and find
some accommodation with our surrounding environment. This book
develops a new approach to looking at dwelling and how we use it.
It explores the manner in which we use housing to exclude others
and so protect our privacy. It also argues we need to exclude
others in order to protect and nurture our loved ones. The book
combines philosophical analysis and literary and film criticism to
put forward an innovative and insightful new approach to looking at
housing. It draws on the work of thinkers as diverse as Aristotle,
Derrida, Kierkegaard, Nussbaum and Scruton and the films of
Chaplin, Bergman, Lynch, Tarr, Teshigahara and Van Sant to
construct a new theoretical approach to housing research.
