There's no place like home

although home isn't always a place. It could be a feeling, an instinct, a language, a person, a memory; it could be where we long to return or can't wait to escape. But for all its symbolic resonance, home also has myriad material consequences: from the picket fence to the political arena, it raises questions of sovereignty, identity, economics, class and domestic labour.

What's the future of home ownership? What does it mean to protect endangered languages? How do our conceptions of home shift when we start new lives in different countries?

Griffith Review 87: No Place Like Home heads out in search of home

what it means to us, why it matters and how it shapes our sense of self.
