 | Home and Urbanity - Cultural Perspectives on Housing and Everyday Life - Copenhagen, 29-31 October 2008 29-10-2008 Introduction This conference discusses a range of cultural perspectives on housing
research, focusing on the role that housing plays in everyday life. This focus
is related to the broader shifts of globalisation, which lead to new practises
and identities, often cross cutting well known boundaries of public and private,
urban and surburban, and home and away.
Description
The conference looks at the intersection of everyday and globalisation from
the perspective of inter-disciplinary cultural analysis, drawing from
anthropology, sociology, and the humanities. How are flows, objects, images,
people and narratives incorporated into everyday urban practices? How might
unreflexive, everyday practices provide a grounded sense of place and maintain
local cultural identity? And in this context, how is meaning and perception
generated in housing and everyday life? The aim is to contribute to discussions
of globalisation by moving these discussions closer to ‘home’ and likewise, to
see how local experiences influence those global.
