The households of young adults can be viewed as a natural environment where gender role transformation models can be found. After experiencing gender specific socialisation in childhood and adolescence, men and women enter a stage in which this structure more or less reverts to universalising practical requirements. These include financial security, focus on careers, securing a home and providing for household duties. The context outlined above is addressed in the paper via selected theoretical arguments and the review of relevant theoretical and empirical literature. The objective is to theoretically justify the mechanisms or principles resulting from specific elements present in the lives of solo-livers that can logically impact specific elements of gender subjectivity.

In this essay I study an ordinary individual’s everyday places and their changes during his life span. So far the individual perspective and time dimension. My case is a Finnish male worker from the 20th century and I ask: What were a common man’s everyday places and what kind of meanings did the places have? How and with whom did he create his places? How did his place relationships change during his life? I answer the questions relying on my long-time observations and twenty interviews conducted in 1985–1987 as well as a few environmental paintings he had made over the years. My point of departure is that my subject made his places in various activities with different people at different stages of life. The physical places were first experienced and later recalled and narrated, in some cases even depicted. They were also contemporary or past; obligatory or voluntary; lifelong or temporary or once-in-a-lifetime places. In general, these place categories provide a basis for developing a deeper and more versatile analysis of the human-place relationships and this tentative classification of everyday places constructed on the basis of my research material can be applied to anybody’s life with possible personal supplements.
