Abstract This article explores the representation of lived life in the house in Willa Cather’s The Professor’s House (1925). It uncovers how the house moves bodies and affects moods that create individual meaning but also reflect broader responses to modernity. The article argues, in line with recent architectural scholarship, that literature, especially “middlebrow” fiction that would reach a large audience, is productive for understanding atmospheres. Using Bille and Simonsen (2021) concept of “atmospheric practices” as a key theoretical framing, the article shows how interactions with the house are deeply dependent on moods (such as anxiety, curiosity, nostalgia), and that practices performed in and with the house (walking down the stairs, sitting working, opening windows etc.) transmit affects that, in turn, determines the body’s movement.

Abstract In this paper, I describe one dimension of the semiotic space constituting “the home.” Using the case of a prominent annual show home in the United States—The New American Home—I reveal the centrality of a Real/Ideal dichotomy in the cultural meanings deployed by homebuilders as they explain their construction decisions. Over time, shifting priorities among the builders of The New American Home lead to increasing reliance on Ideal meanings of the home and result in dramatic material changes in the annual show home. Taking advantage of both textual and visual data, I describe how homebuilders use cultural meanings to explain their actions and instantiate these meanings in the houses they build. In doing so, I identify an important underlying meaning structure describing the home, and shed light on how semiotic codes are translated into material objects.
摘要在本文中，我描述了构成“家”的符号空间的一个维度。以美国一个著名的年度展览“新美国家”为例，我揭示了真实/理想二分法在房屋建筑商解释其建筑决策时所使用的文化含义中的中心地位。随着时间的推移，the New American Home建筑商的优先事项发生了变化，导致人们越来越依赖房屋的理想意义，并导致一年一度的展览房屋发生了巨大的物质变化。利用文本和视觉数据，我描述了房屋建筑商如何使用文化含义来解释他们的行为，并在他们建造的房屋中实例化这些含义。在这样做的过程中，我确定了描述家的一个重要的潜在意义结构，并阐明了符号代码是如何被翻译成实物的。

Abstract The importance of home in constructing notions of identity, self, and belonging is well recognized in the aging in place literature. However, much of the research has focused on mainstream population groups, rather than on the experiences of ethnic minority communities, whose lifecourse trajectories may reveal one of transience in relation to place, aging and home. Based on 48 semi-structured individual interviews and five community mapping workshops with 65 older Turkish adults living in north London, this paper aims to provide insight into how the home is negotiated and understood by older Turkish migrants. Thematic analysis of the data revealed three interrelated themes important to the narratives of older Turkish people: “Home as a reflection of identity and self”, “Home as a social and cultural place” and “Transnationality, mobility and home”.

Abstract This article explores the relationship between the aesthetic ecologies of homes in different socioeconomic sectors, and their disposition towards conserving or discarding objects. More specifically, it analyses how domestic practices, the ways homes are produced and maintained, can impinge on a greater or lesser propensity towards sustainable forms of life. Based on qualitative work carried out in homes of upper and working classes in the city of Santiago, Chile, we distinguish three relevant dimensions that would explain such tendency: materiality, functionality, and temporality. Whereas upper class homes are characterised by more “closed” and restricted ecologies, that strongly resist sustainable practices, working class homes present a more open aesthetics ecologies, with lineal temporalities and multifunctional spaces that explain to a great extent their propensity towards the coexistence of diverse materials and objects.

Abstract This article examines the experiences of living with smoke in the context of traditional domestic food-smoking enterprises. Smoke is largely discussed in architectural discourse as a pollutant that must be removed from the built environment. This article argues that the investigation of traditional food-smoking practices potentially shifts such discussions, positioning smoke as a driver of the domestic living system. Understanding the notion of living with smoke requires a twofold discussion between the spatiality of food-smoking driven by the environmental, cultural, and social aspects of the community; and the material fluctuation of smoke that define the body experience and movement. This research explores the experiential narrative of living with smoke in traditional fish-smoking dwellings in the Brebes neighborhood of Central Java, Indonesia. The study identified three intertwined experiential food-smoking narratives: (1) the activity flow of smoke, (2) fluctuating smoke behavior and the bodily response, and (3) smoke traces. These narratives suggest a fluid programming system that is driven by the spatial and material arrangements and maneuvers of living with smoke. In this system, dwellings no longer exist as conditioned spaces but are instead shaped by transactions between materials, bodies, space, and the surrounding neighborhood.

Abstract Urban-domestic boundaries mediate social relations and encounters between the private and public spheres. Recent literature stresses that such boundaries are fluid rather than fixed and that, despite the physical layers that divide domestic space from urban space, domestication can occur everywhere in urban space. In this article, I build on such dynamic approaches to domestication, but by focusing on balconies, I propose redirecting the focus to the role of materiality and the built environment in domestication processes. Based on architectural-anthropological fieldwork in three Danish housing blocks, I analyze who can domesticate and leave traces where on the urban-domestic boundary and how the materiality of the built environment takes part in such domestication processes. I argue that balconies domesticate both outwards and inwards, and that battles of social identity and key Scandinavian notions of sameness are at stake in such processes.

Abstract “The cooking has been done for you in the garden; it’s merely finished in the kitchen,” the English biodynamic gardener Alan Chadwick used to say. These were ideas that Georgia O’Keeffe, the American modernist painter, already had in mind when she decided to devote large attention to the creation of vegetable and fruit gardens in her houses in New Mexico between the 1930s and 1940s. When Chadwick, “the gardener of the souls,” started using his Biodynamic Method of organic gardening and farming in North America in the late 1960s, Miss O’Keeffe was already deeply engaged in an agricultural project that had seen her teaching, prodding, cajoling, and strictly guiding her many assistants and guests in New Mexico. Through her idea of hard work applied in any creative context, O’Keeffe anticipated, following the studies of Adelle Davis, an ecology of food instead of an economy. A strong believer in the energy coming from the patient and enduring cultivation of the earth, in its reproductive power comparable to the work and labor of childbirth, O’Keeffe used her adobe gardens, kitchens and cooking habits as a sort of mystical places where labor turned into blessing, giving birth to beauty. Through the reading of O’Keeffe’s letters and books inspired by her life and work, this article intends to analyze the beginning of an ecological, though aesthetically refined, politics of gardening and food in the hands and mind of the modernist artist. O’Keeffe nimbly moved from the stylish urban class-conscious foods and flats of New York City, in the first decades of the century, to the revolutionary culture of local production in the Southwest. In her garden cultivation and food rituals, O’Keeffe reproduced the spiritual landscape that nourished the body and the soul of men and women, both engaged in the prodigious creative project. In addition, her strong relationship with the Indigenous allowed her to rediscover the organic bases of civilization, the “sober reality” (Norman Brown) that helped her fulfill the meaning of her work: giving birth to beauty.
