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.
