Abstract
This paper seeks to advance the notion of ‘differentiated solidarity’ presented by political theorist Iris Young and consider its implications for dwelling, embracing diversity whilst maintaining respect for the particularities of place and culture. The paper is divided in three parts. The first will outline , the theoretical proposition of ‘differentiated solidarity’ and the ‘Obligations of Proximal Dwelling’ which builds upon it. The ethical position that underpins that proposition is presented as an approach that could assist in offering an alternate perspective in addressing political debates addressing contemporary diversity. The second part considers the context of the decolonization focus in Australia and acknowledgement of the layers of meaning that are overlaid on place. This is presented as the temporal stratigraphy of places which distinguishes these layers of meaning in both a temporal and spatial form. The third part will look at a grounded example of this on a prominent site in Sydney Australia. The paper concludes with consideration of how that example could be more successfully approached by considering our obligations of proximal dwelling.
