Overland

Alene
Det er ikke kun singler, der er herre i egen villa, lejlighed eller mikrobolig. Over hele kloden flytter mennesker fra hinanden, og vi bor alene som aldrig før. I Skandinavien er vi verdensmestre i at bo alene, men eneboere er sjældent mutters alene, fortæller Aarhus Universitets selskabelige antropolog Rikke Sand Andersen. Nogle har den eneste ene på en anden matrikel. Andre lever i godt selskab med hunde, planter eller spøgelser. Uanset om vi drømmer om eget badeværelse eller ønsker at trække os fra sociale forpligtelser, kan vi dog aldrig gå solo uden andre.
