Abstract Much of the growing focus of research on home cultures and materiality emphasizes eventful or disruptive temporalities: extensions, renovations, retrofits. Here, we trace how homes and lives are reshaped materially and conceptually, in response to other less disruptive temporalities of accommodation. Interviews with suburban Australian households reveal how people gradually come to know the built fabric of their home over time. Lay expertise is acquired through small material adjustments across multiple timescales: triggered by overlapping rhythms of body and building amidst broader lifecourse rhythms. To explore the role material engagements play in mediating these rhythms we focus on two ubiquitous suburban materials—glass and brick. We seek to demonstrate how bodies learn to work with the qualities of these materials and adjust their rhythms to engender comfort through dwelling in place over time. These comparatively mundane processes of spatial, behavioral and material adjustment take on further significance when connected with questions of entrenched routines and practices, material stewardship, vulnerability, and the ability of households to adapt to a changing climate.

砖和玻璃学习适应家庭的日常节奏

摘要 对家庭文化和物质性的研究越来越多地强调多事或破坏性的时间性:扩建、翻新、改造。在这里,我们追溯了房屋和生活如何在物质和概念上被重塑,以应对其他不那么具有破坏性的住宿时间。对澳大利亚郊区家庭的采访揭示了人们如何随着时间的推移逐渐了解他们家的建筑结构。专业知识是通过跨多个时间尺度的微小材料调整获得的:由身体节奏的重叠和在更广泛的生命过程节奏中构建。为了探索材料参与在调节这些节奏中的作用,我们关注两种无处不在的郊区材料——玻璃和砖。我们试图展示身体如何学会使用这些材料的品质,并随着时间的推移通过原地居住来调整它们的节奏以产生舒适感。当与根深蒂固的惯例和做法、物质管理、脆弱性以及家庭适应不断变化的气候的能力相关联时,这些相对平凡的空间、行为和物质调整过程具有进一步的意义。
