1. INTRODUCTION As we put up tombs, markers and mausoleums to memorialize lost loved ones, so do we construct and decorate buildings [homes] to help us recall the important but fugitive parts of ourselves. … Our domestic fittings … are memorials to identity (p. 124). …on our own, looking out of the hall window onto the garden and the gathering darkness, we can slowly resume contact with a more authentic self, who was there waiting in the wings for us to end our performance. Our submerged playful sides will derive encouragement from the painted flowers on either side of the door. The value of gentleness will be confirmed by the delicate folds of the curtains. Our interest in a modest, tender- hearted kind of happiness will be fostered by the unpretentious raw wooden floor boards. The materials around us will speak to us of the highest hopes we have for ourselves. In this setting, we can come close to a state of mind marked by integrity and vitality. We can feel inwardly liberated. We can, in a profound sense, return to home (De Botton, 2006, p. 119). According to Moore (2000), the literature about the concept of home mainly focuses on the examination of home “…with particular theoretical, social and cultural contexts [rather than developing] psychological and experiential sets of meanings” (p. 207) in the recent years. Although it is recognized that the personal and cultural aspects of home should be examined together, researchers tend to focus on emotional and experiential aspects of home and not place them in their context. Besides, the physical and cultural aspects of home are ignored. Moore (2000) also claims that there is a need to develop the “…contextual understanding of the concept of home [which goes beyond] the material characteristics of domestic space” (p. 207). This leads Moore (2000) to view key influences on home research that are “a) cultural, linguistic and historical context; b) philosophical and phenomenological context; and c) psychological context” (p. 207) and examine the cultural, linguistic and historical context of the home. Before defining the concept of 1
