The political role of the everyday

Rachel Kallus

City, 2004, vol. 8, issue 3, 341-361

Abstract: Through the discussion of housing and its role in the production of the everyday, Rachel Kallus develops the notion of the home as a political arena, exposing the space of everyday life as a battlefield where both national and personal struggles take place. She considers the case of the production of Gilo, a residential quarter built as part of the Israelization process of Jerusalem subsequent to the 1967 war, and its fortification process following the events of the second Palestinian Intifada. These events and the discourse around them are used to examine a process by which the residential environment, the base of everyday life, becomes the guardian of national territory and hence, the center of geopolitical struggle.
