Living with Things provides an account of consumption in terms of
its centrality to our dwelling practices. Its focus is on the home,
particularly on the movement of people and things within and
through it in everyday habitation. Here dwelling is seen as an
activity, as doing things with and to the things to hand around us.
Being 'at home' is achieved through living amongst things, as well
as amongst people and other non-human presences, such as pets and
gardens. Being at home is achieved through what we do with objects,
the things that are acquired and stored, that linger around in our
homes, sometimes for decades, and which we may eventually get rid
of. These ordinary things make dwelling structures accommodating
accommodations; they make them homes. Based primarily on a former
coal-mining village in North-east England, this book explores
practices of inhabitation, from moving in or being modernised, to
the daily accommodation of sleep and children. It provides a
demonstration of what happens to consumption research when it
'comes home' and is positioned not in sites of exchange but within
the home and in households.
