How are notions of 'home' made and negotiated by ethnographers? And
how does the researcher relate to forms of home encountered during
fieldwork? Rather than searching for an abstract, philosophical
understanding of home, this collection asks how home gains its
meaning and significance through ongoing efforts to create, sustain
or remake a sense of home. The volume explores how researchers and
informants alike are always involved in the process of making and
unmaking home, and challenges readers to reimagine ethnographic
practice in terms of active, morally complex process of
home-making. Contributions reach across the globe and across social
contexts, and the book includes chapters on council housing and
middle-class apartment buildings, homelessness and migration,
problems with accessing the field as well as limiting it, physical
as well as sentimental notions of home, and objects as well as
inter-human social relations. Home draws attention to processes of
sociality that normally remain analytically invisible, and
contributes to a growing and rich field of study on the
anthropology of home.
