Life on Two Locations: „a Sense of Place“ and How to Connect the Old and the New Homes

Abstract

U radu se na osnovi dubinskih intervjua triju kazivača koji žive na dvije lokacije – u stanu i vikendici ili u stanu i staroj obiteljskoj kući, govori o kvalitativnom konceptu prostora (doma). Razrađuju se pitanja odnosa identiteta i mjesta življenja (doma) te mijenjanja uloga, načina i kvalitete života u odnosu na lokaciju (stari ili novi dom), kroz permanentnu prožetost i usporedivost starog i novog doma. „Osjećaj mjesta“ (doma) shvaća se kao socijalni konstrukt, kao mjesto življenja, osjećanja, dijeljenja, obreda, oživljavanja tradicije i osobnih pamćenja.This paper is based on in-depth interviews with three informants who are living on two locations – in a fl at and in a summer cottage, or in a fl at and in an old family house respectively. It discusses the qualitative concept of the living space (home). It deals with questions about the relationship between one’s identity and living space (home), as well as of the change in roles, quality and the way of life related to the specifi c location (the old or the new homes), through permanent interfusion and comparability between the old and the new homes. „The sense of place“ (home) is seen as a social construction, as a place of living, feeling, sharing, performing one’s rituals, reviving the tradition, as well as a place of one’s personal remembrances
