There’s no place like home – although home isn’t always a place. It could be a feeling, an instinct, a language, a person, a memory; it could be where we long to return or can’t wait to escape. But for all its symbolic resonance, home also has myriad material consequences: from the picket fence to the political arena, it raises questions of sovereignty, identity, economics, class and domestic labour. What’s the future of home ownership? What does it mean to protect endangered languages? How do our conceptions of home shift when we start new lives in different countries?
This edition of Griffith Review heads out in search of home – what it means to us, why it matters and how it shapes our sense of self.
Things for you to note:
* We’re looking for non-fiction and fiction that responds to the theme.
* We want pieces that are no longer than 4,000 words (they can be shorter than this).
* We’ll let you know the outcome of your submission within eight weeks of the call-out closing date.
Full submissions only – no pitches please.
