| Sumario: | The house, the place where we try to be at home, can be regarded as the key space in which we construct our selfhood and belonging. A host of contemporary German narratives featuring houses highlight this relationship between selfhood and domestic space. 'Housebound' analyzes the shelters - often highly ambivalent spaces - that writers such as Katharina Hacker, Arno Geiger, Walter Kappacher, Monika Maron, Jenny Erpenbeck, Judith Hermann, Barbara Honigmann, and Emine Sevgi Özdamar build in their texts and what these reveal about contemporary selfhood in Germany and its relationship to the socia. |
