Abstract [en]

This chapter outlines several ideas in the study of material culture, home and migration, focusing on two groups of objects. First, the category of diasporic objects is used to refer to domestic artefacts that act both as reminders and signifiers of migrants' cultural identity and heritage. While connecting migrants with their homeland, these objects also remind of one's detachment from it. Second, the category of sticky objects is deployed to describe artefacts that evoke difficult and, at times, 'dark' associations for their owners, who, however, continue keeping them, as if they got 'stuck' to them. Both groups of objects offer tools for capturing complex aspects of life at home and migration as well as feelings and emotions that accompany it. The chapter also highlights the embodied dimension of home by discussing how material objects can act as 'embodiment' of one's cultural identity and belonging as well as of difficult feelings of ambivalence and discomfort.
