This article explores the relation among illness, home, and belonging. Through a feminist phenomenological framework, I describe the disorientations of being diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and living with mental illness. This research anticipates the consequences of illness and serious (bodily) disorientations for a conception of belonging as seamless body–world compatibility. Instead, this article examines how the (in)stability of bodily dwellings in experiences of disorientation can suggest ways of being in the world that are more attentive to interdependency, unpredictability, and change in human experience. I argue that these types of dwellings function as a more capacious and apposite metaphor to account for variations in belonging. This discussion outlines the ethical importance of building worlds that make room for different ways of being at home in and through our interactions with others. Although my discussion does not supply norms for ethical action, I contend that a feminist phenomenology of illness generates saliences and illuminates sensibilities that can transform our ways of being with others.

在家：疾病迷失方向的女权主义现象学

本文探讨了疾病，家庭和归属感之间的关系。通过女权主义的现象学框架，我描述了被诊断为边缘性人格障碍（BPD）和精神疾病患者的迷失方向。这项研究预测了疾病和严重（身体）迷失的后果，因为这种归属属于无缝的身体与世界的兼容性。取而代之的是，本文研究了迷失感体验中身体的（不稳定）稳定性如何提出一种更关注相互依赖，不可预测性和人类经验变化的生活方式。我认为这些类型的住宅是一个更宽敞，更贴切的隐喻，可以解释归属感的变化。该讨论概述了构建世界的伦理重要性，这些世界应为我们在家中以及通过与他人的互动提供不同的居家方式留出空间。尽管我的讨论没有为道德行为提供规范，但我认为女性主义的疾病现象学产生了显着性并阐明了可以改变我们与他人相处的方式的敏感性。
