Applying Gell’s notion of the ‘aesthetic trap’ to an ethnographic account of show apartments in a new neighbourhood in London’s Olympic Park, the article demonstrates how show apartments are an illusory form at the apex of a process of risk and commodification that disguises and normalises the risks to which potential homeowners are exposed.","PeriodicalId":44765,"journal":{"name":"Home Cultures","volume":"17 1","pages":"21 - 43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17406315.2020.1777629","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49113025","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Likewise, this article builds on the theory of an architectural uncanny and weirdness to analyze how Chantal Akerman’s Hôtel Monterey and Pat O’Neill’s The Decay of Fiction delineate interior spaces to evoke an (un)homely domesticity and (un)belonging human presence. In particular, to prioritize the hotel architecture, Akerman relies on a partial and fragmentary representation of interiors, whose larger picture is always beyond spectators’ vision, and O’Neill’s creates an engrossing tension between haptic visuality and optical perception, which gives rise to the fetishism of decay. Consequently, while Hôtel Monterey’s indoor architecture presents a spectacle of largely mute, impenetrable spaces with no or little human interaction, The Decay of Fiction’s domestic spaces form a permeable layer through which shadowy figures continuously enact their fictional roles.","PeriodicalId":44765,"journal":{"name":"Home Cultures","volume":"17 1","pages":"1 - 20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17406315.2020.1757382","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48784097","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By discussing the dialectical relation between adjacent segregation and mixed habitation, it indicates physical proximity does not necessarily result in social mix. After that, by taking the lane neighborhood in Hongkou creek area as the research object, the article streamlines its historical transition. Meanwhile, through the measurements of community cognitive domain and daily spatial utilization pattern, the article explores residents’ perception of ‘three discrepant worlds’ of Hongkou creek area. Then, by confirming the social value of daily living space, the article summarizes the organization mechanism on account of community cohesion from the perspective of the state and the family. Finally, it concludes that the maintenance of daily living space on the material level and the support of community empowerment on the social level are a viable solution for the historic lane neighborhood to redress the adjacent segregation and unify public space against the context of rapid urbanization.","PeriodicalId":44765,"journal":{"name":"Home Cultures","volume":"16 1","pages":"163 - 190"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17406315.2020.1752550","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42648835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While existing research in this field focuses mainly on patient experience, we take a design anthropological approach to advance the discussion by examining how healthcare staff participate as “everyday designers,” who improvise to create circumstances for homeliness. We draw on ethnographic research undertaken in the Older Persons Unit (OPU) of a Psychiatric Department, before and after the Unit’s move from an older facility to a newly built large regional hospital in Australia. We propose that the ongoing everyday designing of homeliness by hospital staff, in collaboration with patients, is an element of care that contributes significantly to bringing the feeling of “home,” and the sense of comfort associated with it, into a clinical environment.","PeriodicalId":44765,"journal":{"name":"Home Cultures","volume":"16 1","pages":"213 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17406315.2020.1757381","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43867213","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The structure for a zero emission building includes a variety of technical strategies such as passive and active energy design and renewable energy sources, and is currently under development and testing. Many of the future ZEBs will become homes, implying a change in the use and understanding by those living there. Based on the response from six residential groups who lived in ZEB Living Lab, this paper studies how zero-emission housing technology impacts the use and understanding of it as a home.

Republican discourses of modernization and progress attributed electricity a symbolic transformative power. Yet, the robust power of electricity had to be domesticated before it was introduced into the homes to comply with the ideal of modern home. Visual representations of electricity constituted a crucial step in this process of domestication. To figure out the visual strategies of domestication the study focuses on the representations of electricity produced by prominent mediators of domestic electricity during the period. These include the bi-monthly publication of İstanbul’s electric provider Société Anonyme d’Installations Eléctriques (SATIE) named Ameli Elektrik and prominent women’s and family magazines of the period, which are Yedigün and Ev-İş. Dwelling on advertisement images, cover illustrations and promotional pieces, this article identifies two main visual strategies of domestication, namely mythification and anthropomorphization. Throughout the text it is argued that visual representations of electricity for residential users undermined the quasi-neutral definition of electricity as a modern power and rather worked to frame electricity as a means of distinction and pictured a pretentious modernity.","PeriodicalId":44765,"journal":{"name":"Home Cultures","volume":"16 1","pages":"109 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17406315.2019.1759935","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46097060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"艺术学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
