Dwelling Culture in Ethnology

V prispevku je podan oris preučevanja stanovanjske kulture v evropski in slovenski etnološki raziskovalni praksi. V narodopisnem preučevanju snovne kulture v prvi polovici 20. stoletja je bila stanovanjska kultura posredno obravnavana v okviru zanimanja za razvoj in oblikovne prvine stavbarstva, samostojna raziskovalna topika je postala v drugi polovici 20. stoletja. Ločimo različne metodološke pristope: zgodovinski, geografski, družbeni pristop, preučevanje kulturnih prvin kot kazalnikov družbenih oziroma kulturnih procesov ter različni vidiki preučevanja (upo)rabe bivališča. *** The article outlines the study of dwelling culture in European and Slovenian ethnological research practices. In the first half of the 20th century, dwelling culture was studied indirectly in the framework of interests in development as well as in the formal elements of architecture. It became an independent research topic in the second half of the 20th century.From then onwards, one may identify the use of diverse methodological approaches to the study of dwelling culture: historical, geographical, and social approaches, the study of dwelling cultureelements as indicators of wider social and cultural processes and the study of diverse aspects of dwelling use and consumption.
