A phenomenological approach to "home" as a space of boredom

In this study, the emphasis is put on what 'home' means experientially by examining the term 'home' from a different perspective. While doing this, the home is associated with boredom to understand how it has turned out to be a space of boredom. The experiential aspect of home is being examined with the chosen method of phenomenology. The sense of being stuck at home and homelessness that came with modernity alongside the concepts related to deterritorialization such as migration, nostalgia and homesickness that have been formed within the structure of postmodernism are opened for discussion and their effects on individuals are studied. The feeling of homelessness which is formed in relation to the residence and settlement issues in the thoughts of German philosopher Martin Heidegger is presented in association with boredom. The distinction between public space and private space, which is formed by gender roles, is examined while the invisibility of domestic labor and the confinement of women inside the home are emphasized. In the meantime, how all these concepts have found their places in the field of art has been studied and explained with concrete examples.
