搬家的过程和压力是我们生活中常见的经历,很少有人发现整理和包装家庭财产很容易。当搬迁是暂时的、不确定的或取决于其他因素时,我们可能特别难以知道该带什么,因此租用自助仓储单元可以实现移动和流动,而无需减少物资车队或过早决定保留或处理什么。与以往的研究相反,它侧重于购买或撤资的对象在生命历程的过渡,房子的移动和经验的流动性,本文认为,存储对象的做法是同样重要的。本文的数据来自在英国进行的对象引发式采访,采访对象是三名女性,她们在临时或永久地搬到新家时,为了追求不同的机会(教育,工作,生活方式的改变),有动机租用自储来存储家庭财产。自储被视为既容纳物质陷入不确定性和犹豫不决的感觉,并锚财产集体代表一种家的感觉时,本身还没有重新制作。
The process and stresses of moving home are a common experience in our lives, and few find sorting and packing household possessions easy. When moves are temporary, uncertain or contingent on other factors it can be particularly difficult to know what to take with us, so renting a self-storage unit allows for movement and mobility without the need to reduce the material convoy or make premature decisions on what to keep or dispose of. Contrary to previous research, which has focused on the purchase or divestment of objects during life course transitions, house moves and experiences of mobility, this paper argues that the practice of storing objects is equally as important. The data for this paper is drawn from object-elicited interviews undertaken in the UK with three women who were motivated to rent self-storage to store their household possessions when moving to a new home temporarily or more permanently, across the country and abroad, in the pursuit of different opportunities (education, work, lifestyle change). Self-storage is seen to both accommodate materiality caught up in feelings of uncertainty and indecision, and anchor possessions which collectively stand-in for a sense of home when itself is not yet remade.
