1. Introduction -- Chapter 2: Heidegger and "dwelling" -- Chapter 3: The labyrinthine home in Mark Z. Danielewski’s House of Leaves -- Chapter 4: Homecoming in Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere -- Chapter 5: Bauman and “liquid modernity” -- Chapter 6: “Roots” and stability in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Village -- Chapter 7: “Routes” and mobility in Nicolas Dicker’s Nikolski -- Chapter 8: Derrida and “hostipitality” -- Chapter 9: Welcome as house arrest in Lars von Trier’s Dogville -- Chapter 10: “Home safe” in spite of hostility in Wolfgang Becker’s Good Bye, Lenin! -- Chapter 11: Appiah and cultural “contamination” -- Chapter 12: Economic globalization and home in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Babel -- Chapter 13: Global "at homeness" in David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas and the Wachowskis/Tykwer film -- 14. Conclusion.

By offering an analysis of the idea of home across the individual, interpersonal, social, and global scales, Mapping Home aims to show the extent to which self-concept is deeply tied to constructions of home in a globally mobile age. The epistemological link between dwelling as "knowing oneself" and the experience of welcome as key to being able to map "one's place(s) in the world" are examined through Martin Heidegger's concept of dwelling, Zygmunt Bauman's notion of liquid modernity, Jacques Derrida's exploration of hostile hospitality, and Kwame Anthony Appiah's sense of cosmopolitanism as border-crossing conversation. To further explore these ideas, the book draws on multimodal literature and films that span genres, including gothic horror, fantasy and science fiction, thoughtful comedies, and politically nuanced tragedies. The quality that deeply links the texts is their ability to illuminate the stabilities and mobilities through which home not only mediates but also integrates an individual's diverse experiences of belonging in different locations as well as on different geocultural scales—from the intimate "household" to the more abstract "hometown" or "homeland" and beyond.
