Abstract The stay-at-home measures imposed by governments to counteract the COVID-19 pandemic have drawn attention to the domestic sphere. Besides spending much more time at home in general, people also required the private sphere to fulfill multiple functions, including as workplaces, schools, and fitness centers. Within a qualitative social research framework, the paper examines how people in Vienna, Austria re-ordered their homes during lockdowns to address these challenges. We discuss ordering work as a form of care work regarding the home’s conception, realization and maintenance, and understand the home as being produced in and through practices, including ordering practices. In particular, we are interested in whether and how ordering practices gained higher significance during the pandemic, and in how—by reordering their homes—people re-negotiated their social relations and the inequalities connected to care work and the home.

Abstract This article aimed to develop a new, experimental approach to housing by investigating dwellers’ perceptions in Turkey through an experimental art project called Okkito, which is a parody of TOKI (Housing Development Administration). Using artistic and transdisciplinary research methodology, Okkito revealed a non-schismogenic pattern in housing, a term derived from the anthropologist Gregory Bateson, which refers to asymmetrical and non-complementary modes of social practice. The project investigated the contradiction between the dynamics of urban life and the static structure of current housing corporations through two symbolic houses installed on a 1:1 scale in Sefaköy, a small district in İstanbul. To understand the close relationship between dwellers, housing, and the beliefs of housing corporations, a survey that enabled a platform for in-depth interviews was administered to two participant groups of dwellers. When administrations or corporations do not have a rooted understanding of or stance in relation to existing housing policies, this creates an in-between situation, which results in problems of articulation and disconnectedness of the dweller with the home environment. Therefore, Okkito aimed to adopt a more holistic research strategy and a hermeneutical understanding of life, opening up new potentials for future housing in the context of assemblage thinking.

Abstract Despite a sizable literature on home and “place” in later life, few works have specifically focused on the intersection of home, “place,” ageism, and racism. Here, we therefore explore this intersection through a case study of Mr. M., a 69-year-old African American man living in Baltimore, Maryland. Mr. M described a lifetime of experiences with racism and later, ageism, that affected his everyday experiences with home and place. In his earlier life, he described being viewed as less capable by others because of his race. Later, he experienced ageism in his age-segregated public housing complex, where staff exerted control over his day-to-day life and often treated in childlike manner. Although the city provided Mr. M. with some important freedoms (e.g., choice of restaurants, attending a concert), racism and ageism were still present. Overall, the case offers important insight into some of the complexities of home and place and provides some early groundwork for future research.

Abstract How do young people such as international students understand home, and “where” do they locate it, upon their transition into adulthood? Building on in-depth interviews with forty students in a dorm in Northern Italy, we explore their home-university transition, and the attendant relocations of home, at two levels: in everyday life environments, related to their material and dwelling circumstances, and in their self-narratives, which reveal a fundamental translation of home from spatial into temporal terms. We understand these spatial and temporal relocations of home in terms of continuity, situatedness, in-betweenness and open-endedness. By unpacking the students’ balancing acts between “ascribed” and “achieved” homes, we contribute to the debate on homemaking as a combination between fixed references and temporary or portable affordances, and on the routines and tactics whereby young people mediate the contrasting pressures of family expectations and individual self-realization. Even in transiency, the narrated and lived experience of home illuminates the students’ aspirations and concerns as they struggle to position themselves between different countries, social roles and biographical stages, from a particular accommodation in the here-and-now.

Abstract The social and technological revolutions, combined with the recent crises, have again brought attention to the housing issue in the main western urban environments. More and more people are moving to cities, reopening the architectural debate of the Existenzminimum and the Minimum Living Cell to cope with an ever-increasing demand and ever-less available space combined with the desire to provide decent housing solutions for emergent lifestyles. A contemporary living cell that, after the second wave of the feminist movement and digital technologies, often coincides with the bedroom and that is supported by a plethora of shared domestic uses on a more urban scale. It is an emerging and often informal domesticity that has the potential to influence the architecture and perception of the house. It does not necessarily imply that the houses should be smaller or that the bedrooms bigger, but that new domestic hierarchies are emerging and shaping spatial relations and necessities.

Abstract The Covid-19 pandemic has forced people worldwide to stay home for long periods. Dance schools and sports clubs have organized online courses. Homes have thus become a stage for body movements. Although online gym classes seem like a new phenomenon, they had a predecessor in the radio gym classes of the 1930s. Belgian dancer Lea Daan (1906–1995), schooled in modern dance by German choreographer Rudolf von Laban, gave gym classes in Dutch for the newly founded National Radio Institute and succeeded in creating a sense of community without any visual means. This paper investigates how Daan organized these live classes and how they fitted within the broader framework of home culture during the economic crisis. We also reflect on the relation between the private and public spheres, a relation reinforced by the modern home through specific architectural elements intended to reform all household members.

Abstract This article examines how domestic cleaning practices were transformed during the pandemic and how they redefined everyday life. Based on a perspective of actor-network theory, we take the food package as an actant and follow it in domestic space through its interactions with other actants. To get a deeper understanding of these interactions, we conducted an ethnographic study focusing on the food package. Our findings reveal that the new cleaning rituals emerging in this context are shaped by metaphors, which are connected to a broader network of cleaning culture based on particular traditions and beliefs.

Abstract This study focuses on migrant women’s experiences in TOKI Uzundere, a housing settlement built in Izmir (2009) by the Mass Housing Administration of Turkey (TOKI). It problematizes the incompatibility between the apartments’ standardized layouts and the residents’ spatial practices. The study argues that these interiors have become paradoxical spaces with the potential to be transformed by women struggling to fit them to their daily routines, and social and physical needs, by applying certain spatial tactics. These tactics were charted through in-depth interviews with women, observations inside their apartments, schematic drawings, and photography. Our analysis demonstrates how women’s everyday practices and spatial tactics challenge and reconfigure the assumed uses of the interiors in these social housing units.
