This interdisciplinary doctoral project will investigate the poetics of Home in contemporary London writing. My central research question is: what visions of home are imagined at a time of neoliberal crisis and cruel gentrification in the city? London's programme of intensive redevelopment over the past twenty years has been turbo-charged by the hyper-commodification of space, which either strips urban places of their meaning or seeks to impose a new one from the top.Using methods of creative non-fiction (such as Jon Day's Homing (2019), for example) to weave together elements of personal biography, storytelling and theory - from literary geography, to topology, architecture and urban design - I examine how stories and poetics re-enchant the places, people and histories that are erased by these large-scale development projects. This re-enchantment reveals an attachment to place that is rooted in the urban fabric and its past; a past that is fought over and at risk. This matters because place provides an essential anchor for the notion of home and belonging.The project engages with the pressing issues of which social actors have the "right to the city" and the right to a Home in the city. Contributing the notion of 'Heimat' as a process of home-making, rather than home-coming, the thesis offers new perspectives on identity and belonging in the globalised, dynamic, post-Brexit city of London.

这个跨学科的博士项目将调查在当代伦敦写作的家的诗学。我的中心研究问题是：在新自由主义危机和残酷的城市中产阶级化时期，人们对家的想象是什么？伦敦在过去二十年里密集的重建计划已经被空间的超级商品化所加速，这要么剥夺了城市地方的意义，要么试图从顶部强加一个新的意义。（例如乔恩·戴的《归乡》（2019）），将个人传记、讲故事和理论的元素编织在一起--从文学地理学，拓扑学、建筑学和城市设计-我研究了故事和诗意如何重新赋予那些被这些大规模开发项目抹去的地方、人物和历史。这种重新的魅力揭示了一种根植于城市结构及其过去的对地方的依恋;一种被争夺和处于危险之中的过去。这一点很重要，因为地方为家和归属感的概念提供了一个必不可少的锚。该项目涉及哪些社会行为者拥有“城市权”和在城市中拥有家园的权利的紧迫问题。贡献的概念“Heimat”作为一个家庭的过程中，而不是回家，论文提供了新的视角，身份和归属感的全球化，动态，后英国脱欧城市伦敦。
