About
"From the street to the home, domestic space too must not escape our
tentacles. So profoundly ingrained, domestic space has been deemed
impossible to disembed, where the home as norm has been conflated with
home as fact, as an unremarkable given. Stultifying ‘domestic realism’ has
no home on our horizon. Let us set sights on augmented homes of shared
laboratories, of communal media and technical facilities. The home is ripe
for spatial transformation as an integral component in any process of feminist futurity. But this cannot stop at the garden gates. We see too well that
reinventions of family structure and domestic life are currently only possible
at the cost of either withdrawing from the economic sphere—the way of
the commune—or bearing its burdens manyfold—the way of the single
parent. The task
before us is twofold, and our vision necessarily stereoscopic: we must engineer an economy that liberates reproductive labour and family life, while
building models of familiality free from the deadening grind of wage labour. "
