Abstract This article explores taxidermy as an interesting example of human-animal relations through a study of its incorporation into the later nineteenth and early twentieth century domestic interior. Occupying a liminal space that speaks to life and to death, often posed within an operational aesthetic of wildness, yet firmly captured in domestic confines, taxidermy offers valuable insight into how the geography of home depicted the dynamics of empire, gender and consumption, as well as cogitating on the animal as a scientific and artistic presence. Usefully building on John Berger’s contention that urban industrialism encouraged both the disappearance and the multiplication of animals in human life, this study highlights the way in which a decorative paradox of dead wild things found a place in the British home in the form of naturalist mounts, hunting trophies and other consumer items. Approached as engineered artefacts of animal capital, the fantastic beasts of “the great indoors” exemplify the convoluted (and often contradictory) relations between humans and other species in the modern world.

Abstract Over millennia, faithful devotion to humans and our homes has become central to the identity we have constructed for dogs. Wolves, on the other hand, have been constructed in opposition to dogs, and they have come to represent all that is not home. In this essay I consider representations of wolves, dogs, and the home from antiquity to the present in secular and sacred sources. Using the lens of cultural studies, this comparative essay explores how our ideas about canids and the home were established and why they have been so remarkably persistent.

Abstract This review of Hollywood Arensberg will appeal to those interested in the history of collecting, and domestic display of modern art. Incorporating pre-existing literature on Walter and Louise Arensberg, the review discusses their close relationship with Marcel Duchamp, their illegal acquisition of pre-Columbian art, their determination to prove Sir. Francis Bacon authored the work of William Shakespeare, and their collecting and display preferences. While Hollywood Arensberg sets the bar high for other researchers in the history of collecting, this review notes that further research is needed on the role Louise Arensberg played in forming this rare avant-garde collection.

Abstract This article proposes a model for exploring the psycho-geographical home incorporating psychoanalytical and geographical perspectives as significant elements for understanding homemaking on the Israeli frontier. It seeks to understand the deeper roots of homemaking in the self through the psychoanalytic lens of object relations, beginning with a brief overview of the psychoanalytic literature connected to notions of home and homemaking. We find that homemaking serves as a mediating practice throughout life, because it projects a person’s internal home representation onto the home itself. The gaps found between the representations of a person’s internal home and that person’s physical/external home are discussed as a ‘potential space’. Residents of Israel’s Arava desert are the subjects of our examination of the multidimensional aspects of home and homemaking, as reflected verbally and visually in interviews, self-directed photographs of the participants’ home space and dynamic observations of their homes.

Abstract British domestic kitchens are a product of long evolution but went through a period of great innovation one hundred years ago. Some sections of British society started to take an interest in a space that had been largely disregarded. The “servant problem” and suburban building were factors in this changed perspective. By reference to period newspaper archives, the nature of those changes can be demonstrated in some detail. Although there was a narrative of efficiency, and design ideas from Europe and the United States, progress for British kitchens was piecemeal and conflicted by fuel-choice issues as well as the question of how to equip the space for personal use. Ideas that survived this period of experimentation were to form the basis of kitchen development in subsequent decades.

Abstract Part of a long-term ethnographic case study of Carmen West, a middle-class, heterosexual, American single mother by choice (SMC) and her three children, this essay focuses on the dynamic way the Wests occupy their domestic space. The fact that SMCs start and raise their families without a male partner opens creative opportunities for imagining and doing domestic life differently. Drawing on the philosopher John Schumacher’s work on human posture, and my own ethnographic work with purportedly ‘settled’ Bedouin in Jordan, I show how the Wests make their home through positioning and repositioning themselves and their furniture, vis a vis each other and the material constraints and affordances of their house and their stuff. The unconventional, aleatory moving and mixing of the West family may produce subjects who thrive in an environment that calls for “flexibility…the ability to adjust continuously to change.” Beyond subject-formation, this case illuminates the co-making of collectives whether in a tent or suburban, single-family home.

Abstract Turkish-Germans who first arrived in Germany as ‘guests’ in the 1960s hold diverging attitudes towards their habitat, proving that it remains a negotiated reality to this day. The place they migrated to some time ago has now come to be referred to as ‘here’ or ‘home’, after years of this group’s public and private grappling with the concept. This paper examines the home-making practices of people of Turkish descent in Geesthacht, a German city in the Schleswig-Holstein region. We presume the environment still offers opportunities for Turkish-Germans to display physical amenities that are essential for the development and expression of their transnational identities. Through the use of individual memory and personal narratives, we pledge to understand how different generations have manifested belonging and identity formation in the material and immaterial practices of their home environments, and from this understanding create a narrative of Geesthacht.

Abstract This study asks what is regarded as (in)appropriate material stuff in home spaces, and how it is negotiated between professionals and clients in home visit interactions in three substance abuse and mental health services in Finland. In analysing negotiations between professionals and clients, three interpretational frames theorising its meanings and proper place in home spaces are applied, of which two are located in social anthropology and one in psychomedical ideas. The study demonstrates that negotiations on (in)appropriate material stuff deal with the cleanliness of the clients’ flats and the personal meanings of material objects in their homes. Both negotiations are connected to the institutional task of the services, which is aimed at supporting clients’ everyday lives in their communities and reducing their risk of losing their homes. When professionals enter clients’ homes with this institutional task, homes partially become institutional spaces and the privacy of the home is broken.

Abstract In classical and Renaissance culture, the tool of memory, used in the art of rhetoric, was linked to architecture: buildings such houses and, in sixteenth-century, theaters, were used as containers of images that could help to remember the correct sequence and development of the speech, and as devices to collect the universal knowledge and to represent the world. With these premises, we could interpret the house as the place we collect, represent, and stage our theater of memories through the spatial arrangement and the furnishing of the interiors. The case study of Mario Praz’s house in Rome and the book that he wrote about it are the tangible manifestation of this way of thinking, designing, and interpreting the domestic interior.
