Abstract

Both as a social and spatial unit home is a significant domain of ideological reproduction and the maintenance of a certain social system. Changes taking place "at home," reveal significant knowledge about the transformation of the lifestyles, and everyday practices of households. The Turkish experience of change of residential typology towards apartments led to major physical and social changes in the urban scene. The rise of apartments in line with the emergence of middle class values in the Turkish urban population has influenced expectations and routines of households. The study in this regard aims to decipher the ways the new middle class domesticity and the apartment flat as its stage, have given way to differentiated subjectivities.
