Charleston Single HouseCurrent LectureThe Charleston Single House and Atlantic TasteTerms:• Speech Community: a way of creating cohesion and difference, distinction. A community that shares a knowledge of rules for the conduct of interpretation of speech and all expressive culture. How we understand about interpretation. This sharing defines a knowledge of one form of speech (language, food, architecture), and patterns of use. • SensusCommunis: community of sensibility. When we look at Charleston Single Houses, or lifein the swamp, these are communities of sensibility. This is a social construction that relies on productions, communication, and consumption of reputation. Reputation is negotiated and constantly under the power of exchange (values, information). This relieson social knowledge. • Sociability: a mode of conduct, how a person operates within the world. Something that speaks to social networks or organizations that bind people one to the other. Defined by neighborhood, congregations, families, or employment. Communication speaks to ideas of connection. Friendship, mutual respect, mutual interests, hostility, bigotry, enfranchisement, shared appetite, shared participation in pleasure.
