People often overlook the uncanny nature of homecomings; writing off the experience of finding oneself at home in a strange place or realizing that places from our past have grown strange. This book challenges our assumptions about the value of home; arguing for the ethical value of our feeling displaced and homeless in the 21st century. Home is explored in places ranging from digital keyboards to literary texts; and investigates how we mediate our homecomings aesthetically through cultural artifacts (art; movies; television shows) and conceptual structures (philosophy; theology; ethics; narratives). In questioning the place of home in human lives and the struggles involved with defining; defending; naming and returning to homes; the volume collects and extends ideas about home and homecomings that will inform traditional problems in novel ways.
