摘要

This chapter explores how the different social groupings present in the camp interacted and engaged with the material space of the Isobox/house. Beginning with the material container (Isobox), this chapter excavates the processes of allocation, the everyday spatial practices (routines, patterns) of the respective social groupings, the ‘rewriting’ or reworking of material space and the symbolic inscription of meaning (‘home’). This chapter concludes with an exploration of the gendered aspect of domestic space, interrogating how certain spaces were gendered as female and often came to serve as social hubs where female kin, friends and neighbours would gather.
