This paper examines how the domestic garden is experienced as an intimate place in everyday life. With reference to Bachelard we seek to analyse prosaic pleasures and enchanting encounters that are revealed through multi-sensorial engagements and emotional attachments within the social/natural world. In particular we focus on three modalities of the everyday: work or tasks involved in gardening; that is, sensuous and embodied experiences explored through the notion of haptic perception; ‘cultivation’ in the sense of taking care of the garden, as well as caring for the self and others; and emotional attachments invoking body/place memories, especially of childhood gardens. To illustrate these themes we use garden narratives drawn from the Mass Observation Archive (MOA).L'article a pour objectif d'examiner dans quelle mesure le jardin domestique est vécu comme un espace intime dans la vie quotidienne. S'appuyant sur les travaux de Bachelard, une étude est menée sur les plaisirs prosaïques et les rencontres enchanteresses qui se manifestent à travers les rendez-vous multisensoriels et les liens émotifs au sein du monde social/naturel. Elle porte plus particulièrement sur trois figures du quotidien: des travaux ou des tâches qui ont trait au jardinage, c'est-à-dire les expériences sensuelles et incarnées qui sont analysées au moyen de la notion de perception haptique; la «culture» au sens de s'occuper du jardin et de se soucier de soi-même et des autres; et les liens émotifs qui éveillent des souvenirs du corps/lieu, notamment ceux du jardin de l'enfance. Ces thèmes sont illustrés par les récits sur le jardin extraits de la Mass Observation Archive (MOA).Este papel examina la experiencia del jardín doméstico como un lugar íntimo en la vida cotidiana. Haciendo referencia a Bachelard tratamos de analizar los placers prosaicos y encuentros encantadores desvelados mediante interacciones multisensoriales y apegos afectivos dentro del mundo social/natural. En particular, centramos en tres modalidades de lo cotidiano: el trabajo o tareas involucrados en la jardinería; experiencias sensuales y encarnadas, exploradas a través de la noción de percepción háptica; ‘cultivo’ en el sentido de cuidar del jardín, además de cuidar del ser y de otros; apegos afectivos que invocan recuerdos de cuerpo/lugar, especialmente los jardines de la infancia. Para ilustrar estos temas incluímos narrativas de jardines del Archivo de Observación de Masas (Mass Observation Archive) (MOA).

This paper discusses the way in which public photographic depictions of places and place-based communities contribute to the construction of local identity and community building. Being public and visualised statements about what a place and the people living there are and what they are not, photographs incite public debate about place and community. The paper discusses two interventions, one in Ghent, Belgium involving professional photographers from outside the neighbourhood, and one in Bonnybridge, Scotland ...
