A Study of Boardinghouse and Domesticity in Antebellum America

本研究探讨了如何意识形态的概念化，并表明，“寄宿”及其表征作为一个鲜明的对比，“家”影响了19世纪的美国文化以及社会。作为文化/社会想象的寄宿公寓在广泛的文学和非文学的战前文本表明，独立性已经确认了其对19世纪文化政治的承诺。

This study explored how the ideology of domesticity could be conceptualized, and demonstrated that “boardinghouse” and its representations as a stark contrast for “home” had affected nineteenth-century America culturally as well as socially. Boardinghouse as cultural/social imagination in a wide range of literary and non-literary antebellum texts suggested that domesticity had affirmed its commitment to the nineteenth-century politics of culture.
