Intellectual and Emotional Types of Homecoming
Abstract
In this article my aim is to outline a map of typologies of representations of home, seeking to illuminate the nature of the different issues contained therein, as well as the underlying feelings and mental mechanisms. I therefore try to draw a kind of categorical map of the diverse perspectives implied in the representation of home, or homecoming, or the quest for a home. I distinguish five levels as central categories of the homecoming: the mythical, the ontological-religious, the anthropological, the political, the psychic and pathological.
Opsomming
My doel met hierdie artikel is om ’n tipologiese kaart van uitbeeldings van die huis te skets, waarin sowel die aard van die verskillende kwessies wat daarin vervat is as die onderliggende gevoelens en geestesmeganismes belig word. Ek probeer dus om ’n kategoriese kaart te teken van die uiteenlopende perspektiewe wat in die uitbeelding van die huis, of tuiskoms, of die soeke na ’n huis veronderstel word. Ek onderskei vyf vlakke as sentrale kategorieë van die tuiskoms: die mitiese, die ontologies-godsdienstige, die antropologiese, die politieke, die psigiese en patologiese.
