寻迹“居家性”:现代美国住宅中的身份之谜1920年代-1970年代

Tracing Domesticity: The Mystery of Identity in Modern American Housing 1920s-1970s

本文以20世纪20—70年代美国加州地区的现代住宅为例,聚焦于“形式”与生活氛围的塑造以及“功能”与社会身份的建构两方面,对其空间特征进行分析。并试图以此揭示出,住宅史论述中关于“居家性”的解释,尽管一度被视为在“现代运动”过程中被贬抑的成分,但如果不将其仅仅局限于经由影像表现的一系列“风格化”的场景要素,那么至少在“中产阶级”的居住经验当中,就仍然有可能找到它的踪迹。

Taking California modern housing in 1920s-1970s for example,this paper focuses on “form” and the shaping of living atmosphere,as well as “function” and the making of social identity. By analyzing the spatial characteristics,it attempts to reveal that the interpretation of “Domesticity” in the discourse of housing history,although once regarded as a suppression of the components in the “Modern Movement”,is still possible to trace at least in the living experience of “middle class”,if it is not limited to a series of stylized scene elements expressed by images.
