Document Summary
The phenomenology of the social work (1932) Returning us soldiers - how to deal with coming home. How the home society deals with them. The homecomer is not the same man who left. He is neither the same for himself nor for those who await his return . While the stranger goes into a new situation where he is an outsider seeking to become an insider, a homecomer returns to an old situation in which he arrives being that he is still an insider. One who comes back for good to his home - not as one returning for a temporary stay. Home as a concept - the social structure of the home world. It is the null point of the system of coordination which we ascribe to the world in order to find our bearings in it . Home is the base point, we compare to it. Home is the starting point - as well as the terminus .
