Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper examines the configuration and technologies of home kitchens as factors that contribute to the enduringly gendered division of food-related chores in contemporary American households. Considerations include: what structural and symbolic boundaries in kitchens and their contents delimit everyday expectations and experiences? How do these factors of space and place embody external influences that shape private reality? Evidence is derived from 226 respondent households in �The Household Meals Project.� As a ubiquitous social space, the kitchen and its technologies present a rationalized, masculinized environment that serves to shape the expectations and experiences of the people in each household. When traced through the historical context in which present-day kitchens have evolved, one sees the cultural, economic, and political influences that are embedded in the physical reality of kitchens. As the �heart of the home� the kitchen is laden with emotional and symbolic value, but its configuration and technologies present a home-based food factory�a rational, functional workplace equipped with power tools and driven by expert skills. By examining this conflict between emotion and function in the physical space one may find clues as to how and why food-related chores are a particularly intransigent source of domestic contest and slow change.
