Overview & Synopsis

This book is the result of a critical and collective long-term reflection that originates in the cycle of interuniversity seminars, Home, initiated in Brussels in 2018, around the polysemic aspects and porous borders of the notion of ‘home’. Any attempt at definition raises the question of whether home corresponds to a place, a space, a feeling—in the singularor plural—, to practices or states of being in the world, as well as to its inhabitants, their concrete and symbolic lives, their memories and their class, gender, generational, and racial relations. And we will raise it from the point of view of contemporary literature and arts to better grasp their role in the understanding of a domestic spatiality.
