Edited by Rosalie Stolz, Jonathan Alderman

Description

Over the decades, there has been a world-wide transformation of so-called ‘vernacular houses’.

Based on ethnographic accounts from different regions, Houses Transformed investigates the changing practices of building houses in a transnational context.

It explores the intersection of house biographies and social change, the politics of housing design, the social fabrication of aspirational houses, the domestication of concrete and the intersection of materiality and ontology as well as the rhetoric of the vernacular.

The volume provides new anthropological pathways to understanding the dynamics of dwelling in the 21st century.
