Forms of Dwelling and Forms of Thinking. Studies on a Historical-Sociological Subject Theory of Housing

This doctoral project explores the fundamental assumption that specific forms of dwelling enable specific forms of subjectivity, and that dwelling is a precondition for thought, a factor often abstracted from in social theory. The project therefore examines the reciprocal relationship between forms of dwelling and forms of thought and subjectivity, drawing on comparisons across different historical periods. The theoretical focal point of the project is an empirically open concept of habit.
