ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses empirical findings on processes of aestheticisation and lifestyle practices, and thus displaying practices as constituents of ‘doing family things’, taking the example of Mom Lifestyle Blogs. It deals with how women, men, and couples deal with the potential for procreation in sexual activity, how pregnancies ‘arise’, and how space and the spatio-material environment are involved in sexual practice. The book focuses on practices of establishing and stabilising group cohesion and family identity within shared residence arrangements by empirically observing territorialisation practices that promote a social order and sense of family local to the particular households. It determines the understanding of space as difference by focusing on a spatialised language that uses spatial metaphors and discourses evolving around questions of co-presence, in doing so revealing specific symbolic orders and worldviews.
