The Beach House – Power and Territory : The Impact of Private Buildings in the Public Space (English)
Abstract [en]
This essay examines whether the beach house, with the Hunt House, 1955–1957, in Malibu, California, use as a material object, various everyday exercises of power unconsciously or consciously produced can create a territory on the adjacent public beach. This is partly done through a literature study, photographs and information about the Hunt House building and the beach as a phenomenon. Two different types of analysis are performed; a psychoanalytic method; Sigmund Freud and the concept of "the unconscious", as well as a concept guided by starting points in literature that touches on the subject of power and territory. Have used Mattias Kärrholm's four territorial forms of production to see the beach and Hunt house from several complex angles. The theory tool Actor Network Theory (ant) is connected to the study. The thesis shows different forms of hidden and clear territorializations and their role in different action patterns of Hunt house actors. This study does not try to find strong evidence that the material has territorial effects, but to reason/reflect on the way the material and its actors can have territorial effects.
