Abstract

Bringing insights from feminist geographies of the home to the animals’ geographies literature, this review posits the more-than-human home as a site of unevenly distributed violence and labor, for both humans and nonhumans alike. It expounds a holistic ecology of the more-than-human home that transcends a focus on companion animals, thereby raising questions of interspecies co-existence, autonomy, and control. Within this, it explores the work that pests do, understanding the domestic space as a site of multiple contradictory processes of social reproduction, recognizing how one being’s homemaking is another’s unmaking.
