Show full item recordAbstract
The paper begins with critical engagement with Agam-ben’s interpretation of the limits inherent in Heidegger’s thinking of the relationship between “dwelling” and “building.” The overall argument is that while the positions of Agamben and Heidegger differ they are both marked by a resistance to the presence of an original form of relationality. Acknowledging the presence of what is called anoriginal relationality ne-cessitates a rethinking of both building and dwelling. That rethinking, while indebted to Agamben and Heidegger, is equally a departure from the restrictions their positions impose.
