Overview

Home Territories examines how traditional ideas of home, homeland and nation have been destabilised both by new patterns of migration and by new communication technologies which routinely transgress the symbolic boundaries around both the private household and the nation state. David Morley analyses the varieties of exile, diaspora, displacement, connectedness, mobility experienced by members of social groups, and relates the micro structures of the home, the family and the domestic realm, to contemporary debates about the nation, community and cultural identities. He explores issues such as the role of gender in the construction of domesticity, and the conflation of ideas of maternity and home, and engages with recent debates about the 'territorialisation of culture'.

Reviews

Note: see hard copy for full review Home Territories: Media, Mobility, and Identity is a rich and engaging book. David Morley adroitly traces central connections between the rapidly changing notions of identity, place, and belonging and the mediascapes within which they (and we) circulate, take root, and dwell. Morley is intellectually ecumenical yet erudite in his engagement with urban geography, postmodernism, media studies, nationalism, technology, and audiences in search for a way of talking about the relationship between identity, media, and place. Morley vividly describes and critically analyzes the operations, meanings, relationship, and circuits in which we constantly move near to and far from home. In this subtle and important book Morley has given us much to think about and in the process helped to set the tone and direction for the next generation of media scholarship. -Herman Gray, UC Santa Cruz
