Abstract: | The use of material objects to construct and adorn one’s domestic space reveals much more than taste. The ways in which female immigrants of Iranian origin in Toronto use their possessions to fashion their domestic realms represents a valuable point of entry into the study of the intertwine operations of culture and memory. Indeed, the interior of the home is the primary arena for cultural performance, whether continuing, reconstituted or emerging. While the domestic space of the home provides an area for the demonstration of values and identity, each person negotiates this fact in a different and unique ‘material’ language. |
