Abstract

[Part II is dedicated to the attachment to houses beyond their materiality. The first section presents the various sensations that informants mentioned, such as sight, smell, touch, etc. and questions the idea of senses as skills, following Tim Ingold and Antoine Hennion. The second section is dedicated to the various affects encountered during the fieldwork, when investigating the relation between inhabitants and houses. Investigating affects raises the methodological issues of a discursive approach to affects, of drawing a typology of these affects and of defining ‘heritage affects’. The third section deals with the opposition between experts and non-experts. There are professional experts, autodidact experts—or amateurs—and non-experts in Fez, and their description allows arguing that there is a continuum between them in terms of knowledge and affects. A difference is to be found, instead, in the privileged relation that each category establishes with objects, that is, in their expertise.]
