Abstract "Theories of the domestic stemming from the 19th century have focused on the home as a place of repose and safety. Under this conception, domestic space is positioned as a refuge which gave rise to theories of 'home as haven'. Organised around four thematic sections, chapters provide approaches to the home which challenge notions of 'haven' and reflect major causes that have played an important role in undermining the modern home. Examples and case studies explore hoarding, hauntings, imprisonment, wartime interior art, the Hanover Merzbau and Wolfgang Staudte's 1946 film Die Mörder sind unter uns ('The Murderers are Among Us')"-- Provided by publisher.
