Title Proper | Domestic space and socio-spatial relationships in rural Pakistan |
Language | ENG |
Author | Mughal, Muhammad Aurang Zeb |
Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article explores the changing use and management of domestic space and socio-spatial relationships constructed in a Pakistani rural setting. It offers a case study which highlights the central position of domestic space as a residential and social unit in rural Pakistan. It discusses how domestic space is appropriated in multiple ways into a social unit through social practice. Given that changes in the physical structure of any place lead to negotiation of social relationships, it is shown how recent modifications in design and structure of houses are indicative of, and to some extent facilitate, social change in rural Pakistan. |
