“…I artiklen her anvender jeg begrebet livsform empirisk sensitivt for at fremhaeve problemet med, at isaer livsformen som selvstaendig er vaesentligt reduceret i udbredelse, og at navnlig de fire andre hovedlivsformer samt andre former eller varianter (sociale overførselstyper) dominerer i det nutidige samfund, idet lønmodtagerlivsformen kan vaere i privat eller offentlig regi. Tillige henfører jeg begrebet til det aristoteliske hushold (oikos), som er økonomisk selvbaerende, og som med stor enighed blandt klassikere betragtes som den oprindelige fundamentale enhed bestående af husholdning(er), familier over flere generationer, økonomi og typisk jord (Foxhall, 1989;Davies 1992, s. 290;Højrup, 2002, s. 66, efter Aristoteles: Politikken, 1252b; se også Lacey, 1968og Cox, 1998. Oikos henviser således til ejendom, familie og en samlet produktionsenhed, medens formen oikia henviser til hushold og den fysiske bygning (jf.…”

In this paper it is demonstrated how the understanding of resilience is enhanced and shaped when using the concepts of oikos (the Greek word for household) and life-modes. Instead of applying a rather problematic welfare capitalism model, which partially provides a negative social reproduction and production, it is suggested to apply a household/family model. The household/family model outlines that positive social reproduction and production, including real and productive values, potentially creates an essential bond between viable household, family, work, socialisation, and network based communities, resulting in socially, economically, mentally, and ecologically sustainable survival of families and livelihoods over generations. Furthermore, it is stressed that serious fallacies will occur if resilience is solely understood and explained in terms of individual resources and characteristics. Nonetheless, it is recognised that non-cognitive traits such as persistence are important. Offspring is more strongly socialised and positioned in intact and viable families by transmitting and practicing a set of long-term reproduction and production strategies, which compared to upper strata are less common in the lower and middle strata. Thus, resilience is unequal.

Scenes of textile production on Athenian vases are often interpreted as confirming the oppression of women, who many argue were confined to "women's quarters" and exploited as free labor. However, reexamination of the iconography together with a reconsideration of gender roles and the archaeology of Greek houses dating to the 5th and 4th centuries B.C.suggests that these images idealize female contributions to the household in a positive way. The scenes utilize the dual metaphor of weaving and marriage to express the hartnonia of oikos and polis, a theme particularly significant under the evolving Athenian democracy. The past 30 years have witnessed significant change in the study of ancient Athenian iconography.1 Of particular importance has been the increased attention given to so-called genre scenes or "scenes of everyday life" in Athenian vase painting, a response to the dominating focus of earlier scholarship on mythological subject matter. This trend began in the late 1970s, and escalated in the 1980s with a series of publications primarily by French authors, most notably the groundbreaking volume La cite des images in 1984 (translated into English in 1989). Several scholars have questioned the efficacy of the image and the apparent reality of genre iconography.2 All too often, the tendency has been to treat scenes on Athenian vases as mere illustrations, but recent iconographic studies have asserted the opposite: that images are constructions in which each element is consciously or unconsciously chosen as part of a larger system of signs and symbols. 1. An early version of this paper was presented in February 2003 at the College Art Association meetings in New York. My thanks to Bonna Wescoat, Cynthia Patterson, Sian Lewis, and the anonymous Hesperia reviewers for their comments, and to Tracey Cullen for her helpful advice. The College of Arts and Sciences of the University of South Florida St. Petersburg provided funds for photographs and permissions. I am also grateful to several museums and archives for their assistance with photographs, and in particular to Vickie Garagliano (Hearst Castle), Ann Handler (Art Resource), Wendy Watson (Mount Holyoke Art Museum), Julie Zeftel (Metropolitan Museum of Art), and to Nick Cahill and Yale University Press for permission to reproduce the Olynthian house diagram (Fig. 12). 2.

See Zinserling 1977 for the question of imagery versus "real life." I use the term "genre scene" here for convenience, recognizing the limitations of the phrase.
