Description
Writing Material Culture History 2e examines the methodologies used in the historical study of material culture. Looking at archaeology, anthropology, art history and literary studies, the book provides students with a fundamental understanding of the relationship between artefacts and historical narratives. The book addresses the role of museums, the impact of the digital age and the representations of objects in public history, bringing together students and specialists from around the world.
This new edition includes:
- A new substantive introduction from the editors, providing a useful roadmap for students and specialists.
- A more balanced and easy-to-use structure, including methodological chapters and ‘object in focus’ chapters consisting of case studies for classroom discussion.
- New chapters showing greater engagement with 20th-century material culture, non-European artefacts, and the definitions and limits of material culture as a discipline.
- Offers global coverage and discussion of both the early modern and modern periods.
Writing Material Culture History 2e is an essential tool for students seeking to understand the potential of objects to re-cast established historical narratives in new and exciting ways.
