Kitchenification: A Change of Surfaces in the Homes of DK

Publications: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review

Abstract

This article, based on a multi-temporal fieldwork, shows how replacement of domestic surfaces interferes with the way people interact and how they imagine homes as well as relations beyond the home. Advertisements from estate agents, catalogues from furniture companies such as IKEA, home renovation shows on TV, SoMe-posts, and house magazines indicate that replacements have become a trend inside Danish homes. This movement towards replacements and sweeping renovations influences sustainability agendas, property value, the capability of remembrance, the social experience of time and the relatedness to the things.
