| Zusammenfassung: | Making Oneself at Home in the "Wooden World". Living on Ships in Eighteenth- Century Europe. Like houses, ships were regarded as social microcosms already in the early modern period. On closer inspection, however, they were not secluded and self-contained, but at least temporarily open spatial arrangements with manyfold relationships with variable surroundings. In a case study of the voyage around the world in the Resolution (1772û1775), this paper focuses on the ship's inhabitants and practices. It seeks to show how we can grasp non-domestic, mobile or temporary living spaces as sites of social positioning as well as collective and individual interpretation. Not least, the use of ships as living spaces elucidates the spectrum of living practices in early modern Europe. |
