Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting paper proposals to our panel
entitled "Ethnographies of the house, values and manners of inhabit" to
be held at the 12th SIEF Congress, Zagreb, 21-25 June 2015.
The
deadline for submissions is 14th of January 2015.
SHORT
ABSTRACT
Panel focused on the concept of home and material culture
considering that the social and architectural expressions of values and
inhabitation manners are an expressive portrayal for multiple changes
which characterize contemporary societies and a base to ethnographical
studies of home and dwelling.
LONG ABSTRACT
Despite the widespread
recognition that Home is a highly relevant subject - in social,
cultural, identitary and symbolic terms - and the extensive disciplinary
tradition on this topic, there seems to be an apparent resistance of
contemporary anthropology (ethnography and ethnology included) to work
on domestic space in Western societies (Cieraad, 1999).
However, in
recent decades, relevant work about the house, its material culture and
the relationship between architectural and cultural changes has emerged
(Löfgren, 2003). The studies reveal, on one hand, the complexity of the
relationships established between home, residents and objects, and, on
the other hand, that both domestic space and manners of inhabit embody
important changes that are taking place in contemporary societies (e.g.
Carsten and Hugh-Jones, 1999; Miller, 2001; Csikszentmihalyi and
Rochberg-Halton, 2002).
This panel invites researchers to present
papers on studies regarding houses, objects, forms, values, practices,
relations and other aspects involving the culture of domestic space. We
specially welcome papers crossing different disciplinary frameworks,
allowing diachronic analysis, comparing traditional and contemporary
values, demonstrating evolutionary meanings, and portraying different
social and economic contexts.
