Written by a team of renowned historians and anthropologists, and and accompanied by original photography by Maurice Weiss, \u003cem\u003eTo Be at Home: House, Work, and Self in the Modern World\u003c\/em\u003e compares the ways people in different societies and historical periods strive to make and keep houses and homes under conditions of change, upheaval, displacement, impoverishment and violence. These conditions speak to the challenges of life in our modern world. The contributors of this volume position the home as a new nodal point between work, the self and the world to explore people's creativity, agency and labour. Houses and homes prove complex and powerful concepts - if also often elusive - invoking places, persons, objects, emotions, values, attachments and fantasies. This book demonstrates how the relations between houses, work and the self have transformed dramatically and unpredictably under conditions of capitalism and modernity - and continue to change today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3110579871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783110579871\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter de Gruyter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 301\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.18lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.69d","brand":"James Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43940758192383,"sku":"9783110579871","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5f846120-d65a-4d19-b58f-cea89ff541e1.jpg?v=1681449018","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/to-be-at-home-james-williams-9783110579871","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
