We often speak of «homes» and «houses». As metaphors, these words describe not so much domestic interiors as spaces offering a sense of dwelling in the world. They are used in many ways. But what is meant exactly by «home»? and what does that imply for what we understand as a «house»? What concrete spaces, what forms of social life are signified? What criteria are used for judging, defining and delineating house and home and what representations and imaginaries are implied by them?
This workshop begins with an observation that "home" can be understood both as as a territorial anchorage rooting people in a locality and as a more or less temporary installation of a set of transportable possessions. Together we will examine the tension between the movable and the immovable home to help us better understand its history and challenges.
