House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

House and home are words routinely used to describe where and how one lives. This book challenges predominant definitions and argues that domesticity fundamentally satisfies the human need to create and inhabit a defined place in the world. Consequently house and home have performed numerous cultural and ontological roles and have been assiduously represented in scripture literature art and philosophy. This book presents how the search for home in an unpredictable world led people to create myths about the origins of architecture houses for their gods and house tombs for eternal life. Turning to more recent topics it discusses how writers often used simple huts as a means to address the essentials of existence; modernist architects envisioned the capacity of house and home to improve society; and the suburban house was positioned as a superior setting for culture and family. Throughout the book house and home are critically examined to illustrate the perennial role and capacity of architecture to articulate the human condition position it more meaningfully in the world and assist in our collective homecoming. | House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

Victoria and Albert at Home

Victoria and Albert at Home

First Published in 1980 Victoria and Albert at Home describes the sitting construction and decorating of the two royal residences at Osborne and Balmoral and paints a memorable portrait of the Queen’s family and her Court beside the Solent and the Dee. At the time of their marriage the royal couple had the use of many crown properties but except for Windsor Castle they found none to their taste and began to look for a home of their own. Sir Robert Peel found them an estate on the Isle of Wight which was peaceful beautiful and at that time sufficiently remote from London. However when access from London became swifter and easier their privacy was lost and they looked elsewhere for a second private family residence. A small estate in Scotland was recommended and Prince Albert once again designed the house this time in Scottish baronial style. Drawing on memories archives and family papers some of which with a number of illustrations have never been published before Tyler Whittle has written an interesting entertaining and vivid account of life at a time so very much more elegant and yet at the same time so very much robust than anything that can be imagined today. This is a must read for students and scholars of British history and Royal history.

Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

In this volume the author argues that blood was crucially a means by which dramatists negotiated shifting contours of domesticity in 16th and 17th century England. Early modern English drama vividly addressed contemporary debates over an expanding idea of the domestic which encompassed the domus as well as sex parenthood household order the relationship between home and state and the connections between family honor and national identity. The author contends that the domestic ideology expressed by theatrical depictions of marriage and household order is one built on the simultaneous familiarity and violence inherent to blood. The theatrical relation between blood and home is far more intricate than the idealized language of the familial bloodline; the home was itself a bloody place with domestic bloodstains signifying a range of experiences including religious worship sex murder birth healing and holy justice. Focusing on four bleeding figures—the Bleeding Bride Bleeding Husband Bleeding Child and Bleeding Patient—the author argues that the household blood of the early modern stage not only expressed the violence and conflict occasioned by domestic ideology but also established the home as a site that alternately reified and challenged patriarchal authority. | Blood and Home in Early Modern Drama Domestic Identity on the Renaissance Stage

Discover how we can tap into those vast wells to support learning at home and in school while building positive reciprocal relationships across both settings.
