Abstract While Viking-age and medieval Iceland was a place of domestic animals, studies of its literature and material culture have little considered the multi-sensory nature of anymal-human relationships. 1 A farming society necessarily shapes its places and society around the animals with whom its livelihoods are shared, but the ways in which the home (ON heimr) became, and continued to become a multi-species space in early Iceland cannot be simply assumed. This article considers ways in which the sights, sounds, and tangible bodies of domestic animals are implicit markers of the home in the Sagas of Icelanders, through investigation of dogs, cattle, and sheep, and their relations with human figures. Icelandic archaeology tells us about field and farm, but little about home, and this article aims to demonstrate that a focus on home in the Sagas enables us to think more deeply about the evocation of home-feelings in our archaeological material.

Abstract The importance that medications can have in people’s daily lives at home is self-evident, particularly in the case of chronic therapy. And yet, although medications are often part of daily routines, there is still a relative inertia from a design perspective of innovating medications as “objects” inhabiting the domestic landscape. Healthcare and medication innovations are driven by clinical requirements that deal with health issues, albeit often lacking extensive person-centered consideration. This paper aims to address some concerns about the use of medications at home, in order to convert them into design concerns. To this end, this study takes the form of a literature review that could be of interest to designers committed to forthcoming advancements in the field. Meant as a theoretical paper, it partly revisits and integrates consolidated studies conducted in the anthropology of pharmaceuticals, along with inputs derived from patient-related healthcare literature.

Abstract In this interdisciplinary article, we examine multispecies homes in modernizing Finnish society. We focus on two illustrative phases of pet culture: cats and dogs in bourgeois and rural homes from the late 19th century to the early 20th century as well as international dog rescue in the early 21st century. We make visible and analyze the continuities in pet–human relationality and petness by focusing on everyday practices, spaces and mobilities. The article draws from recent discussions on human–animal relationality at the intersections of the fields of animal history, animal geography and animal studies. Our analysis shows that the pets we have studied have not been passive objects or simply obeyed rules set by humans. Instead, pet–human co-living involves shared human–animal agency and situational practices that take into account the individual animal and the human and the creative ways in which they shape the shared space.

Abstract A renewed public and state interest in space exploration in recent years, coupled with technological advancements in rocket science and architectural systems, has made design and engineering initiatives for Martian living tangible and urgent. This article traces the practice of utopian architectural design of a home on Mars. This home has been described by its architects as a ‘place for people’ and for ‘all of humanity.’ Off-Earth habitats have traditionally been designed with emphasis on the functionality of surviving extreme environments. New designs for Mars aim to make human-centric homes in which people can be comfortable. However, when confronted with the known realities of the Martian landscape, such designs reconfigure the place and form of the human. The Martian landscape requires that a home shelters the human body from hostile elements through totalising closed loop architectural systems. In such extreme architecture, the human form is configured as a calculable body, and becomes ‘erased.’ This article ethnographically traces how the human is imagined in such design practice and asks what happens to the idea of the human through informed design thinking as architects meet space scientists. It traces how utopic motivations to build a space ‘for all humanity’ are challenged through the material and practical reality of making design choices and exclusions. The ethnography follows the figure of the human as it is imagined as an emergent Martian lifeform which confronts the problems of the different gravity, light, radiation, and terrain that a life on mars would entail. Considering how the concept of ‘living’ might be possible in a future Martian habitat involves the practice of imagining radically alternative forms of life. By tracing how these are imagined, contested, and considered this article asks how practices of conceptualising radical alterity relate to understanding oneself as connected to the enduring idea of being human.

Abstract Proceeding from the notion of scenography as atmosphere or ambience, this article explores scenographic design elements aimed at a range of American middle-class living rooms during the early-twentieth century when these newly configured domestic interior spaces replaced Victorian parlors, libraries, and drawing rooms as gathering places for both private family activities and those social occasions when friends and guests were invited into the home. Looking to the period’s theatre with its realistic, natural portrayal of family life as unfolding in the living room, spokespersons for the emerging professions of interior design and illumination engineering spearheaded a call for replicating the aesthetics of theatre atmosphere in living rooms through the manipulation of artificial light at a time when rapid innovations in electric lighting were beginning to transform public and private spaces. Through the utilization of the new “color science” housewives could create the proper atmosphere for any occasion through an inviting scenographics of illuminated fixtures, decorative furnishings, and wall treatments that radiated a pleasing harmony of refinement and relaxation.

Abstract Companion animals tangibly alter our experience of domestic spaces and influence our feelings about home. The Georgian era is well-established as a crucible of British domesticity, and animal historians identify the eighteenth-century as a pivotal moment in the development of ‘modern’ pet ownership. How did emotionally and physically intimate relationships between people and dogs affect their shared domestic spaces during this moment of flux? The experiences of dog owners and their acquaintances, as recorded in diaries and correspondence, testify to the ‘canification’ of the elite eighteenth-century home: people modified their homes to reflect their companions’ status within the household, just as dogs made their own mark on their home environment. The elevated position enjoyed by dogs in some Georgian homes is demonstrated by their ‘ownership’ of objects within the household, evidenced by wills, inventories, and canine material culture itself. However, this mode of dog ownership remained controversial and was frequently represented as emotionally and financially excessive. Critics targeted the elite dog’s privileged position within the home, finding their access to human objects and spaces indicative of their owners’ preference for canine company above their obligations to other humans — be they spouses, offspring or servants. Only by considering the eighteenth-century elite household as a multi-species domestic space and taking account of both human and non-human experiences of the home (and real or imagined representations of such experiences) can the development of British domesticity and, later, the formation of societally-approved ideals of pet ownership, be fully appreciated.

Abstract Health concerns about sedentary behavior have brought attention to children’s home lives, including research on the factors influencing children’s sedentary behavior at home. These studies highlight the importance of home factors, namely the media-rich home environment and parental influences. This paper draws on the concept of ‘porosity of the home’ and practice theory to study how children’s home-based sedentary behavior is affected by factors beyond the home. Based on observational and interview data with children and their families conducted in Gothenburg, Sweden, four main practices outside the home are identified as affecting home behaviors – digitalization at school, organized activities, family holidays, and socialization with peers. All of these are embedded in wider discourses affecting children’s lives, suggesting that children’s sedentary behavior at home is complex and requires rethinking the current narrow focus on home-based factors.
