The subject of this article is an analysis of the novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) by James Joyce from a perspective of artistic space. The presented work depicts the inner and outer space of the hero’s home and house, considering the effect of the most important events of his life. It attempts to portray the changes in the relationship between the protagonist and the components of his home and house: the building, the roots, the family, to make clear why in the end he remains homeless and alone.

The article discusses the issue of living and thinking with pets. The author analyzes examples of popular literature, particularly books addressed to families and women, in order to seek for animal agency in the plot. The thesis is based on an assumption about the special bond between pets and female characters in such novels. Verifying the theory of Yi-Fu Tuan from his book Dominance and Affection. Making of Pets, the article questions pets as an effect of the human tendency to domination over nature and taking comfort in a coherent view of animals. Pets, according to Tuan’s theory, ought to be reflections of human desires and needs. The domination in its roots is male, but its repressive demands involve pets as well as women. This is the premise whereby the special relation between pets and female owners has evolved. That is the reason why it is important to examine the meaning of human-animal relations by considering gender. The space where the bond between women and their pets starts and develops is also significant. The home is the third main character of each novel, and maintains an actually dynamic relation with others.

The paper discusses the functioning of emigration theme in the poetry of Leo Gomolitzky (1903-1988) - one of the greatest representative of Russian diaspora in Poland before World War II. Some poetical texts and two poems (Warsaw, The emigre poem) has been analized in it, in the context of bilingualism, exterritoriality and biculturalism - categories, that had a strong influence on Gomolitzky’s life and works. In the analized texts Gomolitzky shows his own experiences and thoughts caused by the emigration, he also diagnoses people’s attitudes toward exile. From the viewpoint of the poet the emigration is, undoubtedly, the catastrophe, but at the same time Gomolitzky interpretates it as a chance of the moral renewal, spiritual rebirth.

The photo-essay aims at presenting selected characteristics of migrants’ dwelling (an untypical dwelling formation) such as: temporality, dialectics of openness on others and closeness in private space or poor material cul- ture. Authors’ interpretations these characteristics allow for redefining mi- grants’ dwelling as a non-home, a concept introduce as a result of their boar- der studies on dwelling cultures in the context of migration. A non-home is neither a simple nor a sophisticated anti-thesis of a home. It rather consists of a mixture of components, directly transferred from home and beyond. Interpretations of a non-home illustrate selected dimensions of contempo- rary transformations of culture. Presented photos were captured during our field study between 2007 and 2010 in Warsaw.

Airbnb, platform capitalism and the globalised home

Airbnb, the most ubiquitous of the many online short-term rental platforms offering residential homes to tourists, has infiltrated local neighbourhoods and housing markets throughout the world. It has also divided policy-makers and communities over whether tourism in residential homes is a benign example of the so-called ‘sharing’ economy or a malignant practice which destroys neighbourhoods. These differing positions reflect alternative and changing notions of ‘home’ within wider processes of financialisation and platform capitalism. This paper examines these themes with reference to stakeholder statements solicited in response to government inquiries on how to regulate short-term rental housing in Australia.

Over the past thirty years there has been a substantial change in how home is understood in the social sciences. While it is still possible to discern the influence of phenomenology on contemporary thinking about home, the studies presently at the forefront of the geography, anthropology, and sociology of home largely reflect the impact of critical social theory and the cultural and spatial turn in the social sciences, and they have also made the lines between these disciplines blurrier. This article primarily aims to provide readers with an overview of the developments in the field and to explore contemporary approaches to home as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. It also seeks to unravel the developments and topical shifts in (largely English-language) studies of home and to present the current Czech approach to the issue, which are both influenced by the contemporary focus on home as the site of the continuous production, consumption, and negotiation of meanings and identities, and by an emphasis on the everyday experience of home.

The article interprets Leśmian’s poetic figure of home. It indicates emptiness, the sense of mourning after losing oneself, but paradoxically it also denotes renewal of life energy and the source of vitality. Here the lexical items such as “strangeness”, “alienation” and “emptiness” interact to form the fundamental concept of home. The author investigates the tensions between the contradictory states of existential uncertainty and the desire to be “at home” and to belong somewhere. Finally, Leśmian’s works illustrate the conviction that in this destabilized world it is through relating to others that we find stability, if only temporarily.

"Return to oikology" is our imperative that tells us what we are obligated to do with home in times of homelessness, migration, and travelling. The domestic thinking can lead us to extension our thought of home and emplacement, entering the remoteness and openness. The idea of being off the beaten track brings our domestication and dwelling again. Serious thinking about home and locality shows anew the task that becomes our challenge. Oikology uncover a poverty of being attached to the nomadic thoughts. We recognize the house in a place off the beaten track - on the sidelines of the world, on the sidelines of discourses, on the sidelines of the official route of culture, on the sidelines promoted the mobility of people and things, but on the sidelines of propaganda of stability and familiarity. We are already so far removed to see the house again, but close enough not to lose the simplicity of home. Oikology leads us to the disquieting question: are you really convinced of that house so easily let you go into all the world?

The article discusses the possibility of a symmetrical approach in the anthropological study of the materiality of home. After an overview of the development in material culture studies and anthropological research of home, the author discusses two examples of anthropological writing about home: a description of home from Margaret Mead´s autobiography and Inge Daniels´ contemporary anthropological study from Japan.

The aim of this paper is to analyse how Catalan proverbs can be related to several Greco-Latin antecedents according to which the house occupies a fundamental place in people’s lives. In these proverbs, the house is represented from two different but complementary points of view: the space of intimacy, in which every individual can feel safe, and the place where the socialization of people begins, so that it constitutes a microcosm governed by social rules which condition the relationships between its inhabitants.

Home as a space with its own material and non-material markers is defined, among other things, by social and culturally recognised standards for using and arranging space, which are usually reproduced, mediated and redefined in the everyday living practices of the homeless. Thus, although a flat is perceived as a rare good, a privilege, from which the homeless are excluded, by constituting an important element of human life, also in the situation of homelessness it is acquired through spatial location, the arrangement of adapted- originally not residential – space, or ways of practicing neighbourhood. The article discusses factors or circumstances which in the conditions of homelessness constitute “home – room”, “home – space of housing activity”, “home – space for relations and neighbouring”, and which have been determined by reference to the opinions and practices of the homeless.

The aim of the present work is a presentation of Russian folk magical practices connected with the running of a home. The first part of the article reflects on the significance of the home (it symbolism) in Eastern Slavonic culture as well as belief in the magical powers of the spirits protecting the homestead. The second part of the article analyses pragmatically the spells from the group домоведческие и хозяйственные заговоры [domestic and household spells]. The characterised material shows that the verbal magical interaction was based first and foremost on the use of an arousal strategy, being the categorical significance of the imperative mood.

In this article we analyse the topos of the home in two novels set in Lviv: “Home for Dom” by Viktoria Amelina and “The house with the Stained-glass Window” by Zhanna Sloniovska. In both of them, the eponymous ‘home/house’ contains family secrets which are meant to be representatives of the Eastern European fate. The metaphor of a home has several meanings in both novels: it refers to an apartment, a home-city (Lviv) and a homeland. On both dimensions, the home has not been presented as stable and unchanging space. It is rather a symbol of transience than permanence. In both novels, the family stories reflect the problems of identity and memory of the inhabitants of modern Ukraine.

Nursing home, designed in a modernist trend, is a place of isolation of older people from society. A new approach in the design of such facilities is to create a therapeutic environment, changing their role and importance in the urban space. Changes in the theoretical approach in designing take place in two contexts: on the inner space, involving the creation of friendly and stimulating living conditions and outer space including integration with the environment. The therapeutic approach is presented in an exemplary project, which focuses on the importance and position of the residents, the organization, forms of architectural and interior design as well as relationships with the public and surrounding space.

The article examines spatial relationships in Herbert George Wells’s short stories “The Door in the Wall” and “The Beautiful Suit” analyzing the semantic diversity of garden space in cultural, mythological and religious aspects as ‘garden-home’, ‘garden-paradise’ and ‘garden-universe’. This triadic model is determined by the motion of the protagonist wandering through space and leads to the creation of a concentric world picture determined by the archetype of the garden.

The aim of the present paper is to investigate the concept of HOME in Polish and in Portuguese language and culture. The methodology which suits its purpose best and allows to compare words from different languages without an ethnocentric bias is the NSM, Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach (cf. Wierzbicka 1996, Goddard/Wierzbicka 2002). On the basis of lexical and textual data the meaning of Polish dom is explicated and compared with its Portuguese equivalent, casa. Despite the differences in treating public and private space in Polish and Portuguese cultures, the notions of HOME in these two languages have many things in common: both dom and casa are multidimensional concepts referring not only to ‘people living together in a place’ but are also related to emotions such as love, tenderness and homesickness, and to feelings of security and warmth.

Article attempts to discuss the significance of individual consciousness, people’s motivation to pursuit their ends and the extent of their freedom from exterior influences, while focusing on relationship between migration processes and belongings among diasporic groups. It draws on insight from the indepth interviews with migrants who are a part of Slovene and Irish transnational diaspora, and thus aims to represent certain transformations in social reality embraced by the ideas of individualisation, while being simultaneously aware of particular weaknesses of those ideas. The focus is on their conceptualisations and perceptions of home, as a useful concept in considering individualisation that undermines the traditional meanings of tradition, family relations, ethnical and national belongings. What seems to be important is that in the era of increased individualisation, traditional social categories remain salient although contested and social forces still represent influential components inmigrants’ negotiation of the selves and the others. The conceptual lens, which could capture the contested relation between agency and structure in migrants’ live, is that of transnational social fields.
