Molnar, Barbara. "Writing Home." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2011. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/127.
Full textAbstract:
The following group of themed essays explores the author's relationship with the many homes she has had. The works are autobiographical, and they begin during the author's childhood as an Air Force Brat. After exploring a series of homes across the United States, including Honolulu, the work focuses on the author's transition from living in many places to life in one city, New Orleans, Louisiana, where the author grew up. This collection also examines homelessness. Just as the author was searching for a new home along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, she became homeless after hurricane Katrina. Although the author had had the opportunity to make many apartments a "home", homelessness offered her the opportunity to explore what it is that makes a house or apartment a home.

Full textAbstract:
Many young people in the Stockholm metropolitan area struggle with accessing the formal housing market and are therefore relying on short-term, second-hand contracts. By drawing on ten semi-structured interviews this essay explores the second-hand tenant’s ability to feel a sense of belonging towards their home. The tenants are often unable to just be in their home and instead feel they need to conform to the landlord’s ideas of proper behaviour.Through the unequal power relations between landlord and tenant the tenants rarely feel at ease in their home. By using a phenomenological conceptualisation of home, I reason that home loses its ability to anchor a person’s sense self in the world and as a result the tenants become more isolated and detached.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA (Visual Arts))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011.<br>Includes bibliography.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is motivated by an interest in a host of idiosyncratically interrelated phenomena that can
be understood, in my view, as symptomatic of a primary interest in representing experiences of
affect, loss, alienation and objectification of an “other”, which in turn, necessitates a critical
interrogation of the notion of self. These phenomena include notions of the body (animal and
human), private and public spaces, voyeurism, transgression, desire, fetishization, sentimentality
and most critically, nostalgia as understood through experiences of homesickness and heimwee.
My focus is on the affective potential of contemporary lens-based (photographic and video) art. I
approach this study by way of three central ideas: the longing for home (the relationship between
self/space); the longing for the body (the relationship between body/self); and the longing for the
other (the relationship between self/other). I make use of psychoanalytic and feminist theory, as
well as theoretical interpretations of photography and screen-based media, in the broader context
of visual art and culture, to frame my discussion. As such, this study draws on the theoretical work of
Roland Barthes and Susan Sontag to introduce basic concepts such as the relationship between
photography and memory, and develops these to include ideas of the gaze, self and alientation from
the self read through Judith Butler and Jacques Lacan’s image of the mirror phase; home and
homesickness read through Martin Heidegger, Sigmund Freud’s notion of das unheimlich (uncanny)
and Julia Kristeva’s notion of abjection; and Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s objectification of the
animal-other.
This study is intimately linked with, and critically informed by my personal artistic practice, which
focuses specifically on the photographic or filmic representation (projection) of separation,
displacement and longing for an absent other (home, partner & domestic animal). I discuss my own
work relation to selected examples by artists including Shizuka Yokomizo, Sophie Calle, Penny Siopis
and Jo Ractliffe, among others, framing the art object and related processes as cathartic, mnemonic
and talismanic; acknowledging the paradoxical aspect of photography as simultaneously distancing
and acting as a trace of the real; and analysing the evocative (metaphorical or conceptual) allusions
made possible by lens-based processes and their presentation as print and projection, image and
screen.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: My navorsing is gemotiveer deur ʼn belangstelling in ʼn menigte idiosinkratiese onderling verbonde
verskynsels wat myns insiens beskou kan word as simptomaties van ʼn primêre belangstelling daarin
om ervarings van affek, verlies, aliënasie en objektivering van ʼn “ander” weer te gee. My fokus sal op
die verband tussen kontemporêre kuns en affek wees.
Hierdie onderling verbonde verskynsels sluit in: die self en nosies van “die ander”/aliënasie,
identiteit, die liggaam, die verbeelding; veiligheid, die huis, huishoudelike
ruimte/plek/ontheemdheid; beheer, grense, oortreding, voyeurisme en geweld; verlange, nostalgie
(heimwee), misnoegdheid; verlies, gemis, rou, woede, depressie met inbegrip van melancholie;
liefde, romanse, sentimentaliteit, kitsch, besit; begeerte, obsessie, objektivering, tot fetisj maak (met
inbegrip van objektivering van die huisdier). Ek benader ʼn bespreking van bogenoemde verskynsel
deur diskoerse van psigoanalise en feminisme binne die raamwerk van my navorsing.
Ek beoog om, met behulp van psigoanalitiese teoretiese verwysings, in hierdie verhandeling die
verlange na die huis (die verband tussen self/ruimte, hoofstuk een), die verlange na die liggaam (die
verband tussen liggaam/self, hoofstuk twee) en die verlange na die ander (die verband tussen
self/ander, hoofstuk drie) te verken. Ek sal voorbeelde van kontemporêre fotografie en videokuns,
asook voorbeelde bespreek om kontekstuele verwysing na ʼn bespreking van die uitoefening van my
eie kreatiewe kuns te verskaf. Ek sal die uitbeelding (projeksie) van skeiding, ontheemding en
verlange na ʼn afwesige ander (huis, maat en huisdier) bespreek.
Die veld van my teoretiese ondersoek sal put uit sleutelteorieë van Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag,
Sigmund Freud, JaquesLacan, Julia Kristeva, Gilles Deleuze en Felix Guattari, Martin Heidegger en
Judith Butler ten einde basiese begrippe in gebruik te kan neem soos die verband tussen fotografie
en geheue (die kunsvoorwerp/proses as suiweringsmiddel, mnemoniek en besitter van bonatuurlike,
veral beskermende magte), paradokse in fotografie, uitbeelding en verlange/aliënasie, huis en
heimwee (die bonatuurlike, ellende), kontemporêre kuns en affek, die starende blik en die
objektivering van die dier-ander en die stemmingsvolle (metafories of konseptueel) sinspelings wat
deur fotografiese prosesse en aanbieding (druk en projeksie, afbeelding en skerm) moontlik gemaak
word.

Taylor, Helen. "Narratives of loss, longing and daily life : the meaning of home for Cypriot refugees in London." Thesis, University of East London, 2009. http://roar.uel.ac.uk/3928/.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of home is integral to much research in the field of refugee studies, which has looked at the settlement of refugees in the new home of exile, return to the lost home and, more recently, a negotiation between two or more homes through transnational practices. However, studies have rarely focused on what home actually means for those compelled to leave their homes. This thesis moves beyond a structural assessment of forced migration to look at the lived experience of Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot refugees in London, in order to develop a more nuanced understanding of the meaning of home. The thesis takes as its focus four key aspects of home - the spatial, temporal, material and relational - to reveal that home for the refugee is complex, multiple and in process. What the refugee loses when they are displaced is not only the physical property of the spatial home; but also the networks and social capital of the relational home; the framed memories, repetitions of daily life and future potential of the temporal home; as well as the tastes, scents and embodied experience of the material home. It is the impossibility of all these aspects ever being reassembled, even if the physical property were to be returned, which illustrates the depth of loss that exile often represents. However, in spite of the losses they have suffered, the majority of Cypriot refugees in this study also show tremendous resilience. The findings are based on narrative interviews with Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot refugees, who have lived in protracted exile in London for several decades. Contributing to a narrative turn in the field, which places the refugee at the centre rather than the margins of the research, this study recognises refugees as agents in their own lives, who are victims of circumstances rather than victims per se.

Full textAbstract:
My auto/ethnographical journey stems from my experience where, as an I-m-migrant, I feel like I live in the hy-phens negotiating between “a here, a there and an elsewhere” (Trinh, 2011), straddling cultures, homelands, I-dentities, and languages. This identity crisis has made me quest/ion how other i-m-migrant women, especially the Indo-Canadian women in Ottawa, navigate their hyphe-nated existence(s) with/in these liminal spaces which are both home and not-home. As both insider and outsider, I engaged in complicated conversations with Indo-Canadian women to hear about their live(d) experiences and to understand the process of my / our be/com/ing’ and be/long/ing in these hybrid spaces. The questions that guided me through this inquiry are: How do Indo-Canadian women re-produce and re-create this notion called home? What are some of influences of (im)migration on this notion of ho[me]? How do they navigate and per/form their hyphenated currere with/in these hybrid liminal spaces which are both home and not-home? What do these performances dis/close about the women’s understanding of their lives in the hyphens? Through a post-colonial, feminist perspective, and drawing from qualitative research methodologies such as “autoethnography” (Ellis, 2003), “bricolage” (Denzin & Lincoln, 2008; Kincheloe, 2001), “narrative inquiry” (Clandinin, 2013), and “found poetry” (Butler-Kisber, 2010), I perform a “literary métissage” (Hasebe-Ludt, Chambers & Leggo, 2009) of the live(d) narratives of women who, like me, are members of the Indo-Canadian diaspora. I juxtapose our conversations with artifacts, photographs, recipes, and literary pieces that depict our hyphe-nation(s). From an educational perspective, I hope that my “performance [auto]ethnography” (Alexander, 2000) of ho[me]stories of Indo-Canadian women will become a “living pedagogy” and have “the potential to become trans/formative curriculum inquiry” (Hasebe-Ludt, et al, 2009), which might help to de/construct the stereotypical image of the “universal Indian woman” (Sharma, 2009).

Full textAbstract:
The written portion of this investigation gathers materials and information that deals with the conception of the family unit and the house that is literally, and metaphorically, utilized in the notion of home. This focus on the structure as a metaphor for home has further reaching implications than the structure itself. Findings show that a Western view of community and belonging is rooted in a place of stability in one's community. The basis for personal growth within that community has a direct impact on an individual's development in it. (Goldburgh, 67) The fractured nature of my experience and emotions tied with the notions of home, are expressed through both A Home Divided and the Chez Moi series photographic series. Within this investigation there are references to the artist's memories and experiences that are in contrast and discord with the traditional concept of acceptance and belonging.<br>M.F.A.<br>Masters<br>Visual Arts and Design<br>Arts and Humanities<br>Emerging Media; Studio Art and the Computer

Full textAbstract:
While it is now well established that many Europeans were delighted with the landscapes they encountered in colonial Australia, the pioneer narrative that portrays colonists as threatened and alienated by a harsh environment and constantly engaged in battles with the land is still powerful in both scholarly and popular writing. This thesis challenges this dominant narrative and demonstrates that in a remarkably short period of time some colonists developed strong connections with, and even affection for, their 'new' place in Western Australia. Using archival materials for twenty-one colonists who settled in five regions across southern Western Australia from the 1830s to the early 1900s, here this complex process of belonging is unravelled and several key questions are posed: what lenses did the colonists utilise to view the land? How did they use and manage the land? How were issues of class, domesticity and gender roles negotiated in their 'new' environment? What connections did they make with the land? And ultimately, to what extent did they feel a sense of belonging in the Colony? I argue that although utilitarian approaches to the land are evident, this was not the only way colonists viewed the land; for example, they often used the picturesque to express delight and charm. Gender roles and ideas of class were modified as men, as well as women, worked in the home and planted flower gardens, and both men and women carried out tasks that in their households in England and Ireland, would have been done by servants. Thus, the demarcation of activities that were traditionally for men, women and servants became less distinct and amplified their connection to place. Boundaries between the colonists' domestic space and the wider environments also became more permeable as women ventured beyond their houses and gardens to explore and journey through the landscapes. The selected colonists had romantic ideas of nature and wilderness, that in the British middle and upper-middle class were associated with being removed from the land, but in colonial Western Australia many of them were intimately engaged with it. Through their interactions with the land and connections they made with their social networks, most of these colonists developed an attachment for their 'new' place and called it home; they belonged there.

Galip, Ozlem. "Kurdistan : a land of longing and struggle analysis of 'home-land' and 'identity' in the Kurdish novelistic discourse from Turkish Kurdistan to its diaspora (1984-2010)." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10036/4518.
Full textAbstract:
A comparative analysis of 100 Kurdish novels (written in Kurmanji dialect) examines how Kurdistan, the homeland of Kurds and Kurdish identity, is constructed within the territory of Turkish Kurdistan and in its diaspora. Stateless, mostly displaced and constantly in movement, Kurds lack a real territorial homeland, yet base their national identity on the notion of Kurdistan as their mythical homeland. Kurdish novelistic discourse suggests that definitions of Kurdish identity and ‘home-land’ are relative, depending on ideology and personal experiences, and that ‘Home’, ‘homeland’ and ‘landscape’ as social constructs, are not static entities but change constantly over time. A humanistic geographical approach sees literature, particularly the novel, as an instrument of geographical inquiry into a society or a nation. Using that model, and employing textual and contextual approaches, the study shows how and why the nation/society is constructed and clarifies the sense of home-land and identity embedded in the texts. The novelistic discourse in which ‘home-land’ becomes an ideological construct is mainly shaped by the political views of the novelists. However, compared to the novelistic discourse in Turkish Kurdistan, the Kurdish diaspora novelists have gathered around more diverse ideologies and politics that have led to diverse ‘home-land’ images. The novelistic discourse in Turkish Kurdistan also offers more nostalgic elements whereas diaspora theorists and scholars had identified these as exclusive to the literary works in exile. It can be concluded that feelings of nostalgia are invoked as much by the reality of living in fragmented territory and in a situation of statelessness, oppression and domination, as they are when living at a distance, removed from such experiences. In other words, although living in home territories, the literary characters still experience a sense of migration and detachment from home, which is infused with alienation and loneliness as if they are physically away from their homeland.

Full textAbstract:
For most writers who deal with displacement, rewriting themselves, articulating and communicating their sense of estrangment is their lifetime work. For displacement forces one to leave behind the familiar and embrace the unknown. In this process of deconstruction, the concepts of home, belonging and identity are renegotiated and questioned constantly. Le Grand Voyage – the working title for the draft of a novel that is presented in conjunction with this exegesis – is a fictional work that is produced out of the implications of displacement, which inscribes itself in a series of explorations I started in 2001, cumulating with two video works Frammento in 2003 and Footnotes in 2004. Le Grand Voyage investigates further the concept of home by questioning the home/mother relationship. The exegesis aims to contextualise the making of Le Grand Voyage by using another woman’s narrative as the main point of reference: Linda Olsson’s Let Me Sing You Gentle Songs (2005). Olsson’s work – like mine – is conceived out of the effects of displacement, and the literary form and structure display symptoms that are characteristics to narratives of displacement. By putting the home/mother/daughter in context, the narrative displays home as a patriarchal construct showing how the idealisation of home/place is predicated on a gendering of home, whereby, as McDermott notes, ‘home is constructed as a maternal, static and past, to which the (male) subjects longs to return’ (2003: 265). The narrative’s point of view is that of daughters but also that of mothers as daughters, and enables not only a feminist discussion of the notion of home but also of motherhood. Therefore, the theoretical approach for this work has encompassed feminists’ writings that have particularly focused their research on space, place and gender. In challenging the dominant form of gender constructions and relations, the first and second wave feminism have empowered many women to leave home in order to shape their own version of identity. I believe it is within the perspective of displacement, of being out of place, that many women continue to find the necessary distance to contest a particular reading of woman and home that still prevails in academic literature and fiction. Thus, an important part of this exegesis concentrates on the critic of home. I want to argue in a feminist way that our ideas of home and belonging still reflect gendered assumptions and are therefore contestable. That displacement as a catalyst for loss, emotional grief and mourning becomes an enabling way for women to rethink home in terms of what was at play rather than in place and to do the ‘memory work’ that feminists ask women to do: to remember in order not to forget because ‘forgetting is a major obstacle to change’ (Greene, 1991: 298). Their attacks on the feminisation of place have opened up for me possibilities to think of home outside the parameters of sameness. They have also enabled me to understand the paradoxical position a displaced person is faced with: if displacement is favored and privileged why then do longings for home still persist for some? – a fact that is well illustrated in the actual resurgence of the preoccupation to belong. The gain in displacement also involves the fact that distance forces one to look at the longing and nostalgia for what they really conceal. In the case of a woman and, motherless daughters, distance, as this exegesis demonstrates, enables the writer to unveil the longings as subversive and fraudulent, tricking women into thinking there was nothing better than the past: home sweet home, the safe, bounded nest where women could be women: could be the mother. With the ‘memory work’ they both learn to think away from the parameters of sameness and the past, outside the nostalgic stances of singularity, safety, boundaries and internalised histories, therefore outside of the maternal, the home/mother relationship. ‘What is home?’ is a difficult question to negotiate for a woman. The exegesis and the first draft of the novel show what is at stake when one asks the question and the responsibility of women when writing about home.

碩士<br>亞洲大學<br>資訊工程學系碩士在職專班<br>105<br>In order to make it easy for firefighters and the public to inquire about the habit of using electricity, the habit of using fire, the moving lines of family escape, the structure of buildings, the internal situation, the installation of fire-fighting equipment, and the types of buildings, households, inspection items , village，related factors and other relevant information, this study established a home access information query system, which provide firefighters to prevent fire and fire prevention as the reference basis on one hand, and provide public information on fire prevention in order to reduce the occurrence of fire on the other hand.The study implements the system according to over 300 households for the study sample within the jurisdiction of the Longjing District. The conclusions are as follows:
(1) According to the related facing problems of house age, the highest incidence of fire is the old houses of more than 30 years, with fire occurrence number of 4; the results show that the flame resistant and electricity load of compartment and wires and other substances of old buildings are insufficient, and it has the direct relationship with fire disaster.
(2) Based on building type analysis as an example, due to the reasons of changes in the times, few wood-built buildings left in the urban areas today are almost concentrated in the sightseeing and mountainous areas, so this study has not relevant data.
(3) According to the inspection item analysis statistics, in 8 fired-households, all are in line with the inspection items 1 and 2, but they did not have electrician technicians to check the indoor wire and the no-fuse switch; they used to have the wire and extension cables bundled together. Therefore, items 1 and 2 have a positive relationship with the fire disaster.
In accordance with village sorting analysis, in 8 fired-households, there are 5 households are concentrated in the central road area, including Longjin, San Deli, and Zhongheli. The large population in these villages and the building usage age will affect the number of fires, so do not have a positive relationship with the fire
Due to the hometown of the population, and building The use of the housing age, the number of residential units will affect the number of fires, so they have a positive relationship with the fire disaster.
