This talk explores how American media cultures imagine home in the moment it becomes insecure. In light of the housing crisis in 2007-08, which turned assets into liabilities, Professor Faisst asks: How is the idea of home unmade in an age of ever-increasing spatial inequality and housing disparity? Her talk focuses on the most extreme case of precarious belonging: homelessness. She discusses how selected photographs, videos, and films negotiate the lack of a permanent abode as a form of economic dislocation and the fear of becoming unhoused. In these examples, home and homelessness are tied up with a language of rights and possession, and find their aesthetic expressions in material conditions, the language of affect, and the imaginary. Taken together, they constitute the meaning of what it feels like to (not) be at home. Home and homelessness, she argues, should not be considered as opposites, but as mutually interdependent, leading us to re-think questions of visibility and agency.
