{"product_id":"homeplaces-jozoo-biehl-9781478039129","title":"Homeplaces: Dwelling and Habitability in Critical Times","description":"A home is dismantled to make another home habitable. This is where \u003ci\u003eHomeplaces\u003c\/i\u003e begins. Spanning continents, this landmark volume brings together leading anthropologists to chart \"house-ing,\" the unrelenting, reciprocal process of people making houses and houses making people amid ongoing calamity. Their oikographies--vivid, writerly ethnographies of home as sense and action--blow open the fantasy of the private domicile and reveal houses as live forms: porous, incomplete, bleeding into neighborhoods, economies, ecologies, and the dead. They detonate philosophical abstractions about dwelling and technocratic assumptions about homemaking, revealing why home plays such a vital role in worldmaking. Refusing end-times thinking, \u003ci\u003eHomeplaces\u003c\/i\u003e reveals incompleteness as generative drive. The dissolution of forms, bodies, and buildings becomes the material from which people craft shelter, dignity, and transcendence. As war, climate catastrophe, and toxic landscapes dehouse the planet, \u003ci\u003eHomeplaces\u003c\/i\u003e captures the stubborn human insistence on dwelling--provisional, fierce, and alive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e João Biehl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1478039124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781478039129\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Duke University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"João Biehl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49001133146367,"sku":"9781478039129","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homeplaces-jozoo-biehl-9781478039129","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
