CALL for PAPERS: SIEF2017 13th Congress. Göttingen, Germany 26-30 March
2017.
*Temporalities of Dwelling Elsewhere: Placing and Displacing Home*
Panel: Home03
The panel will explore the relation between time and place, seeking to answer
questions of alternative temporalities of inhabitation. Waiting, wandering,
dreaming, remembering, migrating, dealing with a trauma or even retelling
and representing mobilities are just a few ways of grasping time. Placement
and displacement (either temporary, transitional or permanent) are about
time realized in a movement through space and are related to a number of
situations that express diverse meanings: habitual, psychological,
imaginative, creative or political and economical.
Extensive studies with diverse groups in mobility (migrants, refugees,
travelers) show that home is a polarized concept. Home is found in the
interactions between humans' inner and outer worlds, with built spaces and
landscape being circumstanced by personal meanings and always taking place
in a wider context. Home raises the question of belonging followed by
intense temporal connotations, especially in the case of movements from a
familiar place to an unfamiliar one, our inhabitation of the latter and
possible grounding there.
The panel aims to create an interdisciplinary forum that will explore the
complex temporalities of home as an experiential interpenetration of
diverse layers of spatio-temporal interpretations. Challenging two
dimensional representations and linear narratives of placement and
displacement, we welcome contributions that unfold eventual and temporal
aspects of dwelling.
