The article reflects the author's approach to the problem of stay-at-home in the discourse of sociological science. Various practices of stay-at-home (caravanning, house-siting, housewives, hikikomori etc.) are analyzed in terms of routine everyday life and adventures according to G. Simmel, social mobility according to J. Urry. The problem of the balance of social and domestic interactions is discussed, as well as the opposition of a domestic person (Homo Domesticus) to a social person (Homo Socialis). It is concluded that it is expedient to consider certain forms of stay-at-home as a practice of social alienation, characterized by varying degrees of social isolation.
