Displacement critically
rethinks the relationship between home and displacement from a spatial,
material, and architectural perspective. Recent scholarship in the social
sciences has investigated how migrants and refugees create and reproduce home under
new conditions, thereby unpacking the seemingly contradictory positions of
making a home and overcoming its loss. Yet, making home(s) in displacement is
also a spatial practice, one which intrinsically relates to the fabrication of
the built environment worldwide.
Conceptually the book
is divided along four spatial sites, referred to as camp, shelter, city, and
house, which are approached with a multitude of perspectives ranging from urban
planning and architecture to anthropology, geography, philosophy, gender
studies, and urban history, all with a common focus on space and spatiality. By
articulating everyday homemaking experiences of migrants and refugees as
spatial practices in a variety of geopolitical and historical contexts, this
edited volume adds a novel perspective to the existing interdisciplinary
scholarship at the intersection of home and displacement. It equally intends to
broaden the canon of architectural histories and theories by including
migrants' and refugees' spatial agencies and place-making practices to its
annals. By highlighting the political in the spatial, and vice versa, this
volume sets out to decentralise and decolonise current definitions of home and
displacement, striving for a more pluralistic outlook on the idea of home.
