Politics of Isolation
Politics of Isolation
„Homeland“ is more than a place; it’s the narration of an ideal that often excludes those who don’t fit that ideal. As a collective narrative, it shapes our vision of living together and is thereby also an imagination and negotiation of the future. Silicon Valley’s techno-utopian visions position exploitative and isolationist futures as the only possible option — future becomes an exodus from co-presence. A vision of privately owned cities and space colonization, in which the global elite abandons any notion of solidarity-based co-habitation. In contrast, the idea of staying requires the preservation of a collectively habitable world, where we have the right to remain present and to be at home.
