  • Investigates how the page, the screen and the photograph have shaped, and are shaping, spaces for dwelling in a global age

  • Brings together work which emphasizes the representation of domesticity as a global phenomenon, whereas many recent studies of domesticity in visual culture and literature focus on one time period, genre or medium

  • Holds cross-disciplinary appeal to scholars working in film, literature and photography and those focusing more specifically on issues of home

  • Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

About this book

This book examines representations of home in literary and visual cultures in the 20th and 21st centuries. The collection brings together scholars working on literature, film, and photography with the aim of showcasing new research in a burgeoning field focusing on representations of domesticity. The chapters span a diverse range of contexts from across the world and use a variety of approaches to exploring representations of home including studies of space, material culture, sexuality, gender, multiculturalism, diaspora, memory and archival practice. They include explorations of the Finnish Suburban home on film, home and the diasporic imagination in Chinese Canadian women’s writing and the archiving practices and photographs used to document the homes of two gay writers from Australia and New Zealand. By bringing together this range of approaches and subjects, the book explores domestic imaginaries as part of a multi-faceted, mutable and amorphous conception of home in a modern, world context. This collection therefore seeks to further studies of home by investigating how the page, screen and photograph have constructed domestic imaginaries – experiencing, critiquing, reconfiguring and archiving home – in a global age.
