An abstract of the thesis of Kathleen Holt for the Master of Arts in Writing presented November 4, 2008. Title: At Home in the World: The American Middle-Gass House as a Twenty-First Century Public Square Using personal narrative, interviews, and research, this thesis project looks at how the middle-class American home has been transformed, by people like me, into a modem-day public square. The first part of the book looks at the phenomenon of home ownership and subsequent financial investments in domestic goods. It also uses Jurgen Habermas' s theory of the public sphere to define the notion of "public" as ideological as well as physical. This thesis ultimately contends that deliberate and conscientious investments (or disinvestments) in domestic goods and services may be read as social and political stands (i.e., voting with one's dollars). Later chapters consider examples of how activities using the home are public acts, particularly remodeling, blogging and social networking, and urban homesteading. The narrative of the book follows my family's life in one particular house and neighborhood, exploring our growing awareness of the importance of using our private lives to become public citizens.
