The domestic unit is inseparable from its homestead, and the house, at once a physical place and a social unit, is often also a unit of production and consumption, a cult group, and evena political faction. Inspired by Lé vi-Strauss' suggestion that the multi-functional noble houses of Medieval Europe were simply the best-known examples of a widespread social institution, the contributors to this collection analyze house systems in Southeast Asia and South America, exploring the interrelationship among buildings, people, and ideas. They reveal some of the ways in which houses can stand for social groups and serve as images of process and order.Inspired by Levi-Strauss's suggestion that the multi-functional noble houses of medieval Europe were examples of a widespread social institution, the contributors to this collection analyze house systems, exploring the interrelationships between buildings, people and ideas.
