Focusing on houses built by Teodora, her father, and her son in the Peruvian peasant community of Allpachico, I show how experiences of migration paid for and informed the designs of, and materials used in, each house, while structuring the social relations and aspirations of their owners. Farming remains important to some, but the peasant-worker of the past has given way to Lima-based migrants who maintain secondary residences in the community to offset the hardships of city life. The new houses are designed for accommodation and are adapted to current lifestyles; they are not amenable to storing crops and raising animals.

On the other hand, there are expressions I call nostalgia of consumption and conquest (ersatz nostalgia). Although the convergence of terms seems to suggest a common ground for dialogue, I maintain that they frame distinct processes.
