Dear colleagues,

As Urbanism/Geography/Architecture SIG at SCMS, we are pleased to invite you to our third online event of 2024-25, focusing on the theme of 'Home on Screen.'

Join us for a conversation with editors and contributors of "Home as a Site of Resistance", Alphaville Special Issue 26.

We are delighted to have Professor Laura Rascaroli (University College Cork), Editor-in Chief of Alphaville, as respondent.

Editors will briefly introduce the special issue, followed by a response and Q&A.

Panelists include: editors Liz Patton and Anna Viola Sborgi and contributors Mariana Liz, Julie Le Hegarat, Jenny Gunn, Conn Holohan, Lauren S. Berliner, Francianne dos Santos Velho, Sabine Haenni.

About the Special Issue 

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we view the concept of home. This shift has highlighted various societal disparities, including those based on race, gender, sexuality, and economic status. While the idea of the mediated home has been a growing topic of study (Schleier; Wojcik; Rhodes; Barnwell; Baschiera and De Rosa; Palmer; Patton; Price), this issue of Alphaville narrows its focus on the home as a space of resistance across different geographies and periods, from the 1960s to today. Considering debates from fields such as home movie studies, virtual reality, media activism, and the relationship between film and urbanism, the articles in this issue demonstrate how film and media can address resistance centred around the concept of home.
