| Abstract: | The term ‘dwelling’ is commonly understood to mean activities occurring in the home environment; however, this paper introduces dwelling as a form of speaking. This speaking serves as a means of achieving social influence and self-representation. The dwelling environment, according to the thesis of this paper, carries socio-emotional meaning, or metaphorically speaking, the residential environment communicates to people through the language of social emotions. To use this and any language properly, one must understand the meaning of the basic elements of the language. Any traces left by people while dwelling are the basic elements of dwelling. Dwelling understood in this manner no longer needs to take place at home, but can occur everywhere. Hence, the proposed dwelling approach can be seen in a person-residential environment as well as in a more general person-environment transaction frame. In dwelling, as in any other person-environment transaction, the material environment is emotionally effective and becomes emotionally significant through manipulation. The emotional qualities of material objects and physical environments can be advantageous, for instance, teddy-bears for toddlers in the absence of their mothers. However, these emotional qualities might be a source of increasing social isolation among people as well. |
