Growing cultural complexity is rapidly becoming the “new normal”, as is the predicament of modern homelessness vocalized by Simon Malpas (2006) as having no and yet too many homes. While theorists have identified the resultant mode of cultural hybridity as transculturalism (Vauclair, 2014), and home is across disciplines accepted as a “multidimensional concept” resulting in a “proliferation of writing on the meaning of home” (Mallet 2004, 1), for a constantly growing population of said transcultural individuals the question of home is far from scholarly. Surrounded by ever-accelerating mobility and interconnectedness of both individuals and collectives, the questions of home, belonging and identity are perhaps more relevant than ever.
