Anthropology started out in the beginning of the twentieth century as an academic discipline primarily focused on the study of so-called ‘primitive societies’. In the latter half of the century the research focus shifted more towards rural societies in the West and eventually also incorporated urban communities. The research in the urban context of modern societies introduced the topic of the home into anthropology. Nowadays anthropologists do research in home situations that are more or less familiar with their own, and often within their own language community. In competition with other social scientists who do research on the topic of the home, anthropologists are prone to stress the discipline’s distinct methodological and theoretical approaches which are mainly rooted in the initial study of so-called ‘primitive cultures’.

However, memory and nostalgia are playing an increasing role in many home lives since a lifetime stay in the natal home, town, or region has become more and more an exception. As a result, memories of past homes and nostalgic longings are very directive emotions in re-creating present home environments or projecting ideal home situations in the future. This article provides an overview of how these directive emotions are expressed and visualised in the material home environment, not only in the domestic architecture and garden layouts, but also in interior decoration and objects on display.

Questo volume raccoglie contributi di autori che traguardano il tema dell’inclusività spaziale provenendo da esperienze e interessi distanti, ma con il comune obiettivo di indagare una nuova stagione, quella attuale, nella quale una serie di soluzioni parziali tracciano segmenti forti contrassegnati spesso da acutissime connessioni deboli.
