Putting up (with) the paying guest
This article explores the guest–host relationship in private lodging arrangements in the UK, a living arrangement that has increased dramatically in recent years in response to escalating housing costs. Utilising data from a UK study of diverse forms of shared housing, and situated within literature on critical hospitality, we first explore the spirit in which hospitality is offered by hosts and the importance of the financial transaction relativ…
Home and Sexuality
This book explores the meanings and experiences of home among a group of lesbians who over the past five decades have sought to create alternative intimate and public living spaces. The protagonists who enact the ethnographic narrative are a small group of older lesbians, mainly feminist activists, residing in the metropolis of London. The meaning of home and domestic space emerges from unique life histories informed by the wider social and polit…
Towards Alternative Domesticities
Anthropologists have argued that no society can be adequately understood without giving home life a weight equal to the more acclaimed spheres of economy, politics, kinship and religion (Fortes 1969; Carsten and Hugh-Jones 1995; Buchli 2013)
The Kitchen as a Place of, and for, Memory and Narration
The kitchen stories told by older lesbians evoked poignant aspects of their lives that cut across various social spheres. Perhaps it is because the kitchen holds a specific role, one which, as Dubisch (1986) states, says something about society in general. As I discussed in Chap. 5, the role of the kitchen is different and distinct from that of the bedroom, the bathroom and the living room. It is that place which is closest to the body in terms o…
Exploring Meaningfully and Creatively the Tensions Arising out of Collaborations
The issue of working with a set agenda, designed by a larger collaborative project, is core to this article. By using my own experience, I will consider the ways in which established project themes can influence and shape the open-ended method of anthropological research and the final outcome. Additionally, this article will contemplate upon dilemmas of being a young anthropologist while seeking to gain ethnographic authority within a collaborati…
Thinking through Domestic Pluralities
This article reflects on the meanings of home and domestic space among a group of women, who over the past five decades or so have sought to create alternative public and intimate living spaces. The protagonists who enact the ethnographic narrative are a small group of older lesbians, mainly feminist activists, residing in the metropolis of London. In this article, their life experiences are recounted through memories of domestic space, mainly th…
Alternative Domesticities
This special issue responds to a growing body of literature at the nexus of studies on queer/sexuality and home/domesticity. It builds on this existing research that seeks to destabilize the heteronormative ideology of home and domesticity, while also opening up this important space—and its constituent practices—for a plurality of identity formations and subjective experiences. Additionally, it addresses calls from lesbian, gay, and queer studies…
