title = "Clearing out a cupboard: memory, materiality and transitions",
abstract = "Our paper is about moments in life when – perhaps in the course of leaving home, or moving house, or living-on after bereavement – we find ourselves clearing out a cupboard, sorting through its contents, sorting through a cupboard-ful of a life{\textquoteright}s materiality. We{\textquoteright}ll reflect on some personal memories and emotions occasioned by such a task: sometimes haunting, sometimes odd, sometimes joyful, sometimes banal. In particular, we{\textquoteright}ll suggest that small practices with/around material things and memories are central to doing, resolving and dealing with major lifecourse events.",
