CONFERENCE
Title_ Kitchenless Stories
Summary_ There is something provocative and at the same time revealing in the act of removing the #kitchen from the #house. The generalised social rejection that this action often provokes allows us to understand the deep affection and assumptions that this domestic space awakens. Ideologically speaking, the kitchen has played a major role in the historical definition of the idea of the #home and family, and subsequently in the creation of biased gender relations within the domestic sphere. In this sense, an image of the kitchen as a space where women can take responsibility for domestic work alone has been forged, thanks to factors such as its appropriate design and correct layout, along with the construction of a social value system based on care.
The kitchen is where domestic work has progressively lost its economic value and has instead become a work of love, as Silvia Federici calls it. Such transformations not only made an entire sector of society (female) economically dependent on another, but also, through progressive isolation, lost its political agency. But beyond the idea of the kitchen as an apparatus for the perpetuation of clichés, being aware that this type of domesticity is a construction can allow us to understand its reversibility or capability to change.
The home values are always in permanent mutation, and today, those related to the kitchen are precisely those most capable of radically changing the pre-established roles of #gender and domestic work structures.
This conference will show the results of a research trip carried out during the last three years visiting collective kitchens and other shared domesticities around the world that transgress pre-established social systems. The journey began in the South of Senegal, and then followed a heterogeneous, but not random, order through Singapore, Thailand, Mexico, Canada, Japan, China, Sweden and Peru.
