| Abstract |
In this study, we analyzed the process of the housing reflecting the self, based on the qualitative data that people describe their thoughts
about their housing in social media 'online-housewarming'. Especially, based on the precedent study that modern self is established on
continuous selection behavior, we focused on the selection behavior of the self and the role of the housing that affected it through the
narrative. Each narrative component corresponds to the self-establishment process of modern people, identified through precedent study. We
can confirm the existing internal criteria changing into new internal criteria through accumulation, interaction and nonverbal communication of
selection by housing. Housing has been involved in the selection behavior of self throughout the narrative. From this, it can be seen that
the thought of the self and housing are identified in three ways. In 'Online-Housewarming', (1) Housing equates with the self, in the sense
that housing is a physical entity in which one's own choices are accumulated (2) People perceive the change of choice caused by the
realistic constraints of housing as their interaction with housing. (3) People relate the opinions of others about housing with the opinions
about their own self. In contemporary society, house reforming process is a process of mediating the self and the external world based on
the selection behavior and affects the establishment of self. |
