Investing in Enchantment


Book Description

Should we keep the family cabin or list it on Airbnb? U.S. second homes are formally classified as investment properties used primarily for financial gain or vacation homes primarily reserved for personal use, but what have families actually been doing with them before, during, and after COVID-19 lockdowns? Today’s desire for authenticity and family connectedness has made family vacation homes a compelling site to examine how we think of labor and leisure, whom we include as family members and neighbors, and how all of this is represented both spatially and materially. Framed as a magical place for family members to look back on nostalgically, the family vacation home remains an enchanted and memory-filled site that is artificially removed from the marketplace, even if it is rented to others for their family vacations. It is meant to be a magical escape from the challenges of work and family stress, politics, and social inequalities. In reality, the family vacation home requires labor, has financial value as a piece of family wealth, and the magic is not accessible to all. In Investing in Enchantment, Michelle Janning tells a new story about the cultural meanings and structural outcomes surrounding family vacation homes today.
