Abstract

This chapter is about crafting home and care with objects, habits and bodies in dutch hospices. I focus on how hospice residents engage with what hospices offer to them as more or less specific packages of home and care. I will interpret these engagements as breaching experiments (garfinkel 1967). They bring forth more and less implicit assumptions and normativities of home and care built into hospice architectures, staff movements and residents’ whereabouts. It is these breaches, these gaps, that point to the (productive) work that occurs ‘in between’ categories of home and care, life and death, and the promising instability of these ‘inhabited landscapes’ (nading 2014: 19): to the entanglements that unsettle home and care as static sites of home and belonging on the one hand, and institutionalized care on the other.
