“…This is evident in right-wing political nativist and xenophobic agendas and discourses, where the entire space of a nation-state is made to coincide with the 'home' of the 'native inhabitants' (Art 2011;Duyvendak 2011). Not incidentally, much research has been devoted to understand precisely what kind of space is home (Douglas 1991), especially in relation to other established collective spaces (Easthope 2004).…”

“…Once we raise this latter question, we are reminded that the great divide in urban space cannot be reduced to a dichotomy between the private and the public. Rather, at least a tripartite image of urban space needs to be taken into account, where communal forms-in their many embodiments-represent a third crucial articulation that is added to and interspersed with the public and the private (Gans 1962;Suttles 1968;Hannerz 1969;Lofland 1998;Brighenti 2014; see also Duyvendak 2011, for an understanding from within home studies). These three types of space-the private, the communal and the public-form three interlocked social territories, each of them grounded in norms, regulations, requirements, expectations, etiquettes, interaction formats and registers, etc.…”

The search for home as a material and symbolic space is an increasingly salient social question across contemporary multiethnic cities. The boundaries between what is public, communal and domestic are increasingly contested and yet remain a crucial issue, especially for minority groups such as immigrant and ethnic communities. The domestication of everyday living spaces carried out by immigrant and ethnic groups entails a variety of ways of 'cultivating home'. In a context characterized by transnational mobility, ethnic segregation and social marginality, domesticity-understood as the potential to enact a domestic dimension in meaningful places-is an important asset to resist present hardships, cultivate memory and lay out projects for the future. In this Editorial, we seek to untangle the multiple stakes entailed by the practices of 'making home' and 'feeling at home'. We invite scholars to observe how, even in minute and mundane details, dwelling places and the built environment come to be imbued with social and cultural meanings, which are pivotal to survival and social recognition. The articulation of domesticity, commonality and publicness can be fruitfully mapped through the concept of 'thresholds', which brings together the case studies that follow. By doing so, this Special Issue as a whole lays out a new research agenda at the intersection of housing, urban and migration studies.

“…Historically, cultures have equated women with home where they serve, maintain and nurture men and children (Young 1997, 134). Women remain, until today, the primary "homemakers" around the globe (Bowlby et al 1997;Duyvendak 2011). The unwaged caring and affective labour that takes place outside the factory walls and offices is in fact value-(re)producing and should be understood as work (McDowell 2004;Mitchell et al 2004).…”

Performing “home” in the sharing economies of tourism: the Airbnb experience in Sofia, Bulgaria

This article explores how “home” is performed in the emerging sharing economies of tourism, drawing on the example of Airbnb in Sofia, Bulgaria. Based on an (auto)ethnographic approach, this article analyses the sometimes contested ways in which both hosts and guests engage in the everyday embodied practices of home-making. In doing so, it challenges Airbnb’s essentialized idea of home as a site of belonging, “authenticity” or “localness”. It also shows how the political and historical specificities, as well as the materialities of people’s homes significantly shape the ways in which ordinary practices of homemaking play out and consequently affect feelings of (un)homeliness as part of the Airbnb experience. By using performance theory as an analytical framework, this article seeks to contribute to a critical understanding of the contemporary geographies of home in relation to the global sharing economies of tourism, one that is attuned to openness, interrelatedness, and a constant mode of becoming.
