This book explores how people encounter the pasts of their homes,
offering insights into the affective, emotional and embodied
geographies of domestic heritage. For many people, the intimacy of
dwelling is tempered by levels of awareness that their home has
been previously occupied by other people whose traces remain in the
objects, decor, spaces, stories, memories and atmospheres they
leave behind. This book frames home as a site of historical
encounter, knowledge and imagination, exploring how different forms
of domestic 'inheritance' - material, felt, imagined, known -
inform or challenge people's homemaking practices and feelings of
belonging, and how the meanings and experiences of domestic space
and dwelling are shaped by residents' awareness of their home's
history. The domestic home becomes an important site for heritage
work, an intimate space of memories and histories - both our own
but also not our own - a place of real and imagined encounters with
a range of selves and others. This book will be of interest to
academics, students and professionals in the fields of heritage
studies, cultural geography, contemporary archaeology, public
history, museum studies, sociology and anthropology.
