Popis: The text examines domestic space and the relationships that characterize it through an attempt to interpret them as a social infrastructure. Thinking of the home as infrastructure also means expanding the conception of what constitutes an infrastructure and reflecting on the relationship between politics and intimacy to question the boundaries between public and private. Moreover, observing the home through the infrastructural dimension allows for placing reproductive labor at the center, not only as work but also as a central element for social infrastructure.
