Short Abstract:

Cultural archives keep records of people's expressions and everyday life. Archives provide evidence of voices and perspectives from inside communities, but also of how communities have been viewed by officials and scientists. How can archive material help us understand the meanings of dwelling?

Long Abstract:

Cultural archives keep records of people's expressions and everyday life. Among the material, we find documentations of memories, cultural heritage and practices of different communities. Cultural archives provide evidence of voices and perspectives from inside communities, but also of how communities have been viewed by officials and scientists. How have the aspects of dwelling to be documented been selected? What kinds of materials were produced? What memories and stories of dwelling emerge, when people describe their living environments in written recollections or oral history interviews? How, and why, is place attachment maintained, and how and why does it change? What is said about dwelling in times of change and crisis? How can archive material help us understand the meanings of dwelling?
