The homeland is an extremely fuzzy concept. Hence the fact that it gives rise to so much debate, often very emotional. Some people have a very closed view of it, while others believe in a freer definition. Blogger Ronja von Rönne asked herself the question of what it means to be home.
In this episode of Streetphilosophy, she will question a singer who has no real home, a young woman who feels a duty to take over her family's fishing business in the land where she was born, an Iranian upholsterer and storyteller in Berlin, and a philosopher who reflects on the notion of anchors, of family.
For the latter, it can be dangerous to conceive of the homeland as a territorial approach to be defended. What if it were instead an emotion to be developed daily, a quest for stability in a fast-changing world?
