Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article asks what a hegemony of home cultures might be, given contemporary arguments for culture as performance rather than representation. It examines claims about “normal” cabins in Norwegian mountain areas through real estate advertising, regulatory disputes, ethnographic experience, media representations, and academic literature, and attempts to tie these into questions of temporality, through global economic changes and banal nationalisms. Starting from Gullestad's arguments for the house as a model of culture, the article questions the validity of hegemonic claims for mountain cabins and shows them to be constantly in the process of reproduction.
