Challenging the idea of “home” as a safe refuge, or an enclosure of stability, this article explores ways in which home can be envisioned as an ontological space of becoming, where life is always risked. “POV: A Home of Alterity” is conceived within a deconstructivist theoretical framework and asks the question of how home can be perceived as an open text—a locus of oscillation between inside and outside—for the purpose of revealing home as an inherently traumatic “event,” which presupposes an openness to absolute alterity. To show the traces of otherness in one’s experience of being present (at home), it examines a photograph from Julia Borissova’s project DOM: Document Object Model and sets out to interrogate the concept of “home” through three relationships wherein it emerges: (1) between inside and outside, (2) between the I and the other, and (3) between the I and oneself. Consequently, this article seeks to define home as a representational space of one’s own alterity, where one surrenders to one’s non-coincidence with oneself and hence to experience itself, ultimately revealing that, in an aporetical way, home encrypts the very dislocation it “promises” to shield from.

POV：异类之家

这篇文章挑战了“家”作为安全避难所或稳定围栏的观念，探讨了如何将家设想为一个存在的本体论空间，生命总是处于危险之中。“POV：异性之家”是在解构主义理论框架内构思的，并提出了一个问题，即如何将家视为一个开放的文本——内部和外部之间振荡的轨迹——目的是揭示家是一种内在的创伤“事件”，它预设了对绝对他异性的开放性。为了展示一个人在场（在家）体验中的差异性痕迹，它检查了 Julia Borissova 项目 DOM：文档对象模型中的一张照片，并着手通过出现的三种关系来审视“家”的概念：（1 ) 内外之间， (2) 我与他者之间，(3) 我与自己之间。因此，这篇文章试图将家定义为一个人自己的异性的表征空间，在那里，一个人屈服于与自己的不一致，从而体验自己，最终揭示，以一种绝对的方式，家加密了它“承诺的”错位” 来屏蔽。
