Abstract

Aus archäologischen und literarischen Quellen werden die typischen Züge des Hauses der römischen Führungsschicht herausgearbeitet. Der Bestand an Denkmälern ist fragmentarisch, erlaubt aber mehr Aussagen, als gemeinhin angenommen wird. So lassen sich einige literarisch bekannte Funktionen rekonstruieren, in denen sich das römische etwa vom pompejanischen Haus unterscheidet. Dazu gehören etwa Räume für Gerichtsverhandlungen oder zur Bewirtung zahlreicher Gäste, aber auch Orte für die demonstrative Betätigung der senatorischen Frauen bei der Verfertigung von Textilien. Einige Eigenheiten bleiben bis in die Spätantike in veränderter Form erhalten.

Abstract

Teenage life is tough. You're at the mercy of parents, teachers, and siblings, all of whom insist on continuing to treat you like a kid and refuse to leave you alone. So what do you do when it all gets to be too much? You retreat to your room (and maybe slam the door). Even in our era of Snapchat and hoverboards, bedrooms remain a key part of teenage life, one of the only areas where a teen can exert control and find some privacy. And while these separate bedrooms only became commonplace after World War II, the idea of the teen bedroom has been around for a long time. With Get Out of My Room!, Jason Reid digs into the deep historical roots of the teen bedroom and its surprising cultural power. He starts in the first half of the nineteenth century, when urban-dwelling middle-class families began to consider offering teens their own spaces in the home, and he traces that concept through subsequent decades, as social, economic, cultural, and demographic changes caused it to become more widespread. Along the way, Reid shows us how the teen bedroom, with its stuffed animals, movie posters, AM radios, and other trappings of youthful identity, reflected the growing involvement of young people in American popular culture, and also how teens and parents, in the shadow of ongoing social changes, continually negotiated the boundaries of this intensely personal space. Richly detailed and full of surprising stories and insights, Get Out of My Room! is sure to offer insight and entertainment to anyone with wistful memories of their teenage years. (But little brothers should definitely keep out.)

Abstract

After World War II, France embarked on a project of modernization, which included the development of the modern mass home. At Home in Postwar France examines key groups of actors - state officials, architects, sociologists and tastemakers - arguing that modernizers looked to the home as a site for social engineering and nation-building; designers and advocates of the modern home contributed to the democratization of French society; and the French home of the Trente Glorieuses, as it was built and inhabited, was a hybrid product of architects', planners', and residents' understandings of moder
