Abstract

ABSTRACTHome is a vital site and subject for feminist research. This introduction to the special issue of Australian Feminist Studies on ‘Home’ begins by reflecting on domestic spaces and routines as they unfold through contemporary art and performance. This reflection maps home as both a material space and an imaginary: a complex realm of constraints and possibilities. The discussion on this complexity of home is then situated within the contemporary context of the gendered experience of housing, from its precarity to its porous boundaries, ideas which are engaged with throughout the special issue. Taken together, the articles in this special issue show how questions of creativity, care, labour and technology, all pivot around home as a significant and (still) politicised site for feminist thought. Research into gender, housing and homelessness, and human-centric ideas about home also provide key insights into home as an unfixed, relational and political space.KEYWORDS: Homehousingcarearthouseworkpaid labourarchitecture Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).

女性主义实践的反思与启示:《家》特刊导论

家是女性主义研究的重要场所和主题。这篇关于澳大利亚女性主义研究“家”特刊的介绍，首先通过当代艺术和表演来反思家庭空间和日常生活。这种反射将家映射为一个物质空间和一个想象空间:一个复杂的约束和可能性的领域。关于家庭的复杂性的讨论随后被置于住房性别经验的当代背景下，从其不稳定性到其多孔的边界，贯穿整个特别问题的想法。总而言之，本期特刊的文章展示了创造力、关怀、劳动和技术等问题是如何围绕着作为女权主义思想重要且(仍然)政治化的场所的家展开的。对性别、住房和无家可归的研究，以及以人为中心的关于家的想法，也为家作为一个不固定的、关系的和政治的空间提供了关键的见解。关键词:住房、护理、家政、工作、有偿劳动、建筑披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。
