This lecture delves into the philosophical and sociological dimensions of inhabiting, exploring the existential and political aspects of living in a space. It discusses the care and engagement involved in the act of inhabiting, emphasizing the diversity of experiences and activities within a living environment. The lecture also touches upon the sensory perception and bodily intelligence that contribute to the habitability of a space. Furthermore, it examines the significance of familiarity, freedom of movement, and ontological security in the concept of inhabiting. The instructor references key thinkers like Heidegger and Breviglieri to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between individuals and their living spaces.
