It is an experience shared by almost everyone. A clean home is related to both respectability and status. The mere execution of the deed ? whether it concerns taking care of other peoples? dirt or ones? own ? ranks, however, strikingly low, contaminating everyone who has to perform it. Therefore, cleaning is permeated by hierarchies of for instance gender, class, sexuality and race. Even though cleaning activates several existential and politically burning questions, it is surprisingly non-existing in research. The point of departure for this study is anthropological, and the material is a number of interviews with Swedes of today about their habits and experiences of cleaning. In focus are questions of cleaning as a cultural symbol, a bodily practice, temporality, and as an expression of taking care of decay. By investigating the meaning of what cleaning means to people ? how it is experienced, organized, and distributed in everyday life ? I want to discuss how such a central part of our existence is regarded as something that lacks value." 606 $aLiterature & literary studies$2bicssc 606 $aHumanities$2bicssc 606 $aSociety & social sciences$2bicssc 610 $aUmU kursbok 610 $aFeminist 610 $apolitics 610 $aIntersectionality 610 $aQueer 610 $atemporality 610 $atheory 610 $aCare 610 $awork 615 7$aLiterature & literary studies 615 7$aHumanities 615 7$aSociety & social sciences 700 $aAmbjo?rnsson$b Fanny$4aut$0915699 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910287933703321 996 $aTid att städa$92052732 997 $aUNINA
