“…(and) constitutes a body of images that give mankind (sic) proofs or illusions of stability ' (1964: 6). Infused by a white, colonial, middle-class, male-centred ideology, Bachelard's notion of 'home' as a space of refuge and protection, and as a nostalgic, poetic and utopian resting place, has long since been problematised -for critical discussion see, for example: Martin (2008), andPrice (2002); see also, Pint (2013), for a more sympathetic reassessment. 4.…”

10 Rillington Place names the site of temporally extensive practices of murder (1943–1953), and offers an empirical entry point for critically advancing the conceptual innovations of relational approaches to the criminological study of ‘home’. In so doing, the paper, firstly, (re)conceptualises serial homicide as practice, more specifically as a mode of domestic labour which materialises in and is enacted through the relational dynamics of everyday residential life; and secondly, rejects the notion of ‘home’ and argues for the concept of dwelling to better capture the active, generative and fluid dynamics of domestic life. This subtle shift in conceptual approach acknowledges how domus horribilis is etched from, and woven through the topological entanglements of everyday and extreme practices, and moves us toward an alternative set of conceptual commitments in our research of domestic space. Drawing from a mixed portfolio of cultural media (including archival, epistolary, journalistic, photographic, filmic, architectural, museological and dramaturgical data), the paper takes forward Schatzki’s site ontology as an organising framework for practice-based analytics, and advances the critical insights of an embryonic criminology of the domestic.

“…Bachelard uses topoanalysis to access the intimate spaces of subjective experience, in a manner similar to Benjamin, through the imagery provided in works of poetry. Pint (2013) suggests that, despite major advances in psychology and philosophy, Bachelard's approach remains useful for the contemporary study of intimate space or dwelling (114). Pint recommends that a 'significant modification to Bachelard's "topoanalysis" would be the extension of the media in which to look for alternative images' (117).…”

Transformative power of city play: social media and place in a post-affordance world

U.S. cities annually spend over $6 billion in building and maintaining public parks that afford places for social and physical activity. However, adolescent tendencies toward physical inactivity and sedentary behavior continue to increase and may be due to social and physical barriers that limit affordances to public space. The trend suggests that urban researchers should revisit adolescent place needs. Building upon the urban socio-ecological model, I suggest that social media is a social ecosystem service in adolescent placemaking. As part of the socioecology of youth, social mediaespecially video in Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, and Instagram creates opportunities for feedback and behavioral loops that inform young people of new affordances. The urban socioecological model identifies social media as an ecological post-affordance-experience and peer support not immediately afforded by the visible, physical environment. The phenomenological study builds upon 6,686 downloaded, indexed, and coded scenes from 998 videos to identify three salient place-based categories of adolescent play behavior in five U.S. cities. The place-categories are then interpreted for urban design theory using three influential urban theorists, Bachelard, de Certeau, and Benjamin. Findings suggest that social media makes the real 'real' and provides a key mechanism to enhance adolescent affordances in public space.

Spatializing collective memory: The idea of home and the War and Women’s Human Rights Museum

Focusing on the idea of home, this article investigates collective memory embodied in the War and Women’s Human Rights Museum in Seoul, South Korea. Centering ‘comfort women’s’ trauma and resistance, it analyzes the museum’s memory narrative and spatial strategy, which guide visitors through an empathic journey from past to present, memory to action. I first define the museum’s site-specificity, examining how the idea of home emerged from its construction history. Thereafter, I analyze the museum’s spatial paradigm of collective memorialization through the lens of Gaston Bachelard’s interpretation of a house. Exploring visitors’ spatial awareness of ‘comfort woman’ victims, I argue that the museum, combining a metaphor of home with the victims’ memory, builds a strong emotional connection to the victims and thereby encourages visitors to act on their behalf.
