| Description: |
A study of how traditional ideas of home, homeland and nation have been destabilized by patterns of migration and communication technologies. Analyzing mobility and connectedness, Morley relates them to micro-structures in the home and to debates about the nation, community and cultural identity. |
| Synopsis: |
Home Territories examines how traditional ideas of home, homeland and nation have been destabilised both by new patterns of migration and by new communication technologies which routinely transgress the symbolic boundaries around both the private household and the nation state. David Morley analyses the varieties of exile, diaspora, displacement, connectedness, mobility experienced by members of social groups, and relates the micro structures of the home, the family and the domestic realm, to contemporary debates about the nation, community and cultural identities. He explores issues such as the role of gender in the construction of domesticity, and the conflation of ideas of maternity and home, and engages with recent debates about the 'territorialisation of culture'. |
