Description

Explore how the objects we live with shape our identities and daily lives in this groundbreaking anthropological study. Home Possessions examines the private worlds behind closed doors, revealing how material culture actively participates in constructing who we are. Through compelling research into what people choose to keep and move with them, this book challenges the assumption that home decoration is simply a personal choice. Instead, it uncovers a dynamic relationship between inhabitants and their possessions, demonstrating how furniture, belongings, and everyday items influence our sense of self and belonging. Published by Bloomsbury and part of the Materializing Culture series, this hardcover edition offers essential insights for anyone interested in how objects create meaning, stability, and identity within domestic spaces. Perfect for students and scholars of anthropology, sociology, and material culture studies.

Key Features

Examines material culture as an active force in shaping identity and domestic life within home environments.

Investigates what personal possessions reveal about people's identities and priorities during significant life transitions like moving.

Part of the Materializing Culture hardcover series, offering academic depth for anthropology and sociology research.

Provides anthropological perspectives on private domestic spaces that are typically difficult for researchers to access and study.

Explores the tension between mobility during moves and the stability provided by keeping meaningful possessions.

Published by Routledge through Bloomsbury, bringing together leading scholarship on how homes construct human experience.
