The politics of shaping home

Julia Metzger-Traber

pp. 53-62

I believe, for instance, that public reactions and political interpretations of this moment of "crisis' both humanitarian and ecological are largely informed by our images and metaphors of who we are, who they are, and how real the boundaries between us are.
