Abstract

I’m about to explore the epistemological configuration of the house through certain contrasts and correlations between what I will formulate as three ways of referring to it: (1) as a substance characterized by a series of attributes; (2) as a matter of productive or technical processuality: and (3) as a problem of individuation –concerning to the relationality and the particularity of events–. After reviewing these three perspectives and their relationship with some issues derived from my fieldwork in the Araotz Valley (Basque Country) –such as the Aitzkorbe Azpikua farmhouse fire in 1984– I will propose the concept of oicogenesis or house on fire as a principle of inquiry that, trying to respond to the reductionist risks of entification, insists on the sociological reality of the particular entanglements that comprise the reality of each house.
