Description
International audience Houses and food in Vanuatu are prominent artefacts that materialise people's links to the land and social relationships. Nowadays on Mere Lava, a striking emphasis is put on the building of kitchen houses , n-ean̄ kuk , as architectural elements central to households. The PhD thesis interrogates the prominence of these houses and highlights the material and symbolic specificities of these buildings.
