Abstract:
Our paper is about moments in life when – perhaps in the course of leaving home, or moving house, or living-on after bereavement – we find ourselves clearing out a cupboard, sorting through its contents, sorting through a cupboard-ful of a life’s materiality. We’ll reflect on some personal memories and emotions occasioned by such a task: sometimes haunting, sometimes odd, sometimes joyful, sometimes banal. In particular, we’ll suggest that small practices with/around material things and memories are central to doing, resolving and dealing with major lifecourse events.
