All of them except the apartment on Wolfe St., the one with shower in the living room closet. Abstract This thesis explores the experience of mobility through the process of house moving in Montreal. It is a study grounded in an ethnographic fieldwork that took place between September 1997 and July 1999. Data were collected through participant observation, by accompanying people throughout the process of their move, and assisting them in their move. It examines a range of anthropological issues such as the distribution of power in relation to residential groups, the constitution of subjectivity in motion, the relations coming into existence on the move as well as the role of material culture.
