Why do mantelpieces matter? As everyday 'focal points', they offer
a unique way into understanding how what matters relates to who
matters. Wide-ranging, original, innovative research assembles Mass
Observation Archive material with historiographies of family, house
and nation from ancient Greece to present-day Europe, China and
America. Entwined with insightful ethnography of British domestic
and heritage practices, these studies elicit how power works in the
small spaces of home. Accompanied by films made with asylum seekers
and participants' 'photo-calendars', it is an engaging, effective
fusion of different modes of analysis, with imaginative theorising
and auto-biographical reflection. This cutting-edge contribution to
current debates on identity unfolds how dominant cultural values
not only exclude the dispossessed, but also limit possibilities for
future networks of shared hope, loss and vulnerability.
