Call For Papers

Domesticity Under Siege International Architectural Conference, based on a recent publication about threatened spaces of the modern home, aims to investigate notions of Domesticity in contemporary discourses. The book also entitled Domesticity Under Siege was organised around four thematic sections, ‘Microbes, Animals, and Insects’, ‘Human Agents’, Wars and Disasters as Agents’ and ‘Hauntings, Eeriness and the Uncanny’. These sections provided a range of approaches to the home which challenge notions of ‘haven’ and reflect major causes that have played an important role in undermining the modern home. The conference proposes to further expand on these themes and explore other aspects where home as shelter, haven, container, or envelope is subject to threat. Domesticity Under Siege also probes the possibility if the threat to a normative sense of domesticity could also bring agency?

We welcome interdisciplinary contributions for each of the following themes:

Home invasion, by human agents and by microbes, animals and insects
Domesticity and the threat of wars and disaster
Domesticity and the Uncanny
Domesticity and the effects of climate change
Domestic subjectivity
Domesticity and gender
Domestic labour
Insurgent domestic agency
Home and the threat of technology
Submission Details
We invite individual and group proposals for 15-minute papers, as well as for themed sessions, debates and round tables.

We welcome cross-disciplinary contributions that explore contemporary developments and project future trends into the theme of ‘domesticity under siege’ as well as those that offer retrospective theoretical and critical interrogations.

We welcome proposals of papers with the intention or possibility to be supported by or delivered through performance, artefacts, or film-based presentation.

For individual proposals please send a 350-word abstract with a title and a 50-word biographical note.

For themed sessions please send the individual abstracts together with the session proposal/ introduction and title.

Please indicate clearly if proposing a full session panel.

Full papers will be required prior to the conference for panel chairs, and to begin the editorial process for possible publication.
