The term ‘home’ derived from Old Norse ‘heima’ – describes a state of being as well as a physical place – linking to the sublime
Home is the junction box between our private life and our public
State of being – home is the last bastion of the senses – intimacy, comfort, privacy
“All evidence of truth comes only from the senses” Nietzche
Thinking about neo liberalism and consciousness
- if you take away the comfort of home then feeling of anxiety, displacement, belonging get eroded
- as a collective or a union gives sense of belonging of ideals and morals – home is a place to allow awareness to grow
- “the past is a country from which we have all emigrated, that its loss is part of our common humanity… And it is this loss that we share”. (Salman Rushdie)
