Bobby Baker's Daily Life
I've just re-run across British performance artist Bobby Baker's website, Bobby Baker's Daily Life.
Baker is remarkable not just for her very trenchant critique of a core component of feminist discourse, the construction and reification of domesticity. But beyond this, her approach to food, cooking, shopping, and cleaning, among other components of British women's daily lives not only reveals both the joys and deadening agonies of this sort of experience, it also clearly marks out the ways that these codes of domesticity are performative--that they mark out feminity by their repeated doing.
Take a look around the archives, particularly HouseWorkHouse, which is an interactive map of a typical middle class British home, with the traces of routine daily experience marked throughout.
