“…As an emplaced social relationship, home does not exclusively rest on the material foundations of a dwelling and does not necessarily overlap with its boundaries (Steiner & Veel, 2017). This is not only because the very assumption of an isolated domestic setting is problematic, as the critical and feminist literature has long shown (Mallett, 2004)—and as the Covid pandemic has further demonstrated (Brickell, 2020).…”

This article reviews the emerging literature on the negotiation of home‐related feelings, claims, and practices in the public urban sphere, under the rubric of homemaking in the public. This contributes to a better sociological understanding of home and illuminates long‐debated societal questions such as the interaction between majority and minority groups and the shifting boundaries between what is (regarded as) public or private. While home has traditionally been understood as a private and domestic matter, it also has a major public significance. As a category of analysis, it reveals how supposedly domestic attitudes, routines, and practices are scaled up into the public domain. As a category of practice, it is a powerful discursive resource for contentious politics in the extra‐domestic domain. Who is entitled and legitimated to claim a public space as “home”, and what this implies for inter‐group categorizations and relations, are questions that deserve original and comparative analysis in sociology. Processes of domestication of the public sphere, of mutual interaction between public and private life realms, and of claims‐making on various scales can be fruitfully revisited along these lines, by advancing an original research agenda on the ways of framing, feeling and claiming public space as home.

“…I rather draw specifically on an everyday practice approach to the home environment, which emphasises the ways in which yoga and other bodywork practices function as part of the 'ordinary habits' and 'back stage practices of the home' (Shove 2003) (see also : Miller 2001). Such habits and practices flow within, to, and from the home as part of the household's everyday infrastructures (Blunt and Dowling 2006;Steiner and Veel 2017).…”

Being alone together: yoga, bodywork, and intimate sociality in American households

Using ethnographic data from Providence County, Rhode Island, this paper explores yoga as a bodywork practice that is part of everyday health and wellbeing routines in middle class households. In this context, participants define their bodywork practices as individual activities that answer health and wellbeing needs, but notably discuss bodywork in terms of their everyday social experience. Along with other bodywork activities, yoga emerges as a shared social practice that links participants to their partners, children, and other intimates, facilitating a sense of togetherness by allowing time and space for autonomy. By giving atmospheric and sensory attention to the ethnographic data, the paper further reveals how domestic intimacy is cultivated via the generation of bodily heat and positive energies and that yoga may tacitly facilitate such atmospheres. In this way, yoga can help households meet an American need for self-development and autonomy while still facilitating a far more enduring human need for intimate connection. Ultimately yoga is characterized as a pragmatic bodywork practice that blends self-development and social intimacy through shared energetic encounters.

“…Over the past three decades there has been burgeoning interest in the concepts of place, home and identity (Feldman 1990;Case 1996;Moore 2000;Holloway and Hubbard 2001;Holloway, Rice and Valentine 2003;Cresswell 2004;Hodgetts et al 2010;Steiner and Veel 2017). The deconstruction of home has occurred within a geographical enquiry into the concept of place, no longer conceptualised as 'coherent, bounded and settled' (Massey 1995: 54) but in process.…”
