In this article 'The House' (2002), an installation by Eija-Liisa Ahtila is analysed. Viewing it as theoretical object, the author argues that its mobilization of a number of different disciplinary fields is neither encompassing nor arbitrary. In this specific polyphony of disciplines, the one boundary most in need of melting is that between intellectual and affective work. The thirteen-and-a-half minutes of the installation take its viewers through a number of specific and highly pointed theoretical 'arguments' about the cultural role of discourses, about aesthetic modes and, above all, about the intense and painful bond between 'art' - representation, fantasy, imagery and imagination - and 'life' - psychosis and the loss of certainty, childishness and sensations of omnipotence, disaster and the profound need of hospitality.

The deliberations undertaken in the article are a fragment of a broader research project into the social and cultural position of the modern male. This issue poses the question about the extent and activity areas in which men presenting themselves relate to traditional characteristics of the personal model of the male, and those in which one can find new elements brought about by contemporary social, economic and cultural reality. The starting point for empirical analysis is marked by two basic issue - efficiency and auto-presentation, treated here as sensitising ideas. The main focus is on one of two most important efficiency factors-activities, divided into general and particular ones. On their basis, quality analysis of visual material is conducted, which constitutes the starting point in searching for and diagnosing changes as well as constructing the contemporary concept of manhood.
