商品简介 The study of material culture is concerned with the relationship between persons and things in the past and in the present, in urban and industrialized and in small-scale societies across the globe. The Handbook of Material Culture provides a critical survey of the theories, concepts, intellectual debates, substantive domains and traditions of study characterizing the analysis of things. It is cutting-edge: rather than simply reviewing the field as it currently exists. It also attempts to chart the future: the manner in which material culture studies may be extended and developed. The Handbook of Material Culture is divided into five sections. ? Section I maps material culture studies as a theoretical and conceptual field. ? Section II examines the relationship between material forms, the human body and the senses. ? Section III focuses on subject-object relations. ? Section IV considers things in terms of processes and transformations in terms of production, exchange and consumption, performance and the significance of things over the long-term. ? Section V considers the contemporary politics and poetics of displaying, representing and conserving material and the manner in which this impacts on notions of heritage, tradition and identity. The Handbook charts an interdisciplinary field of studies that makes an unique and fundamental contribution to an understanding of what it means to be human. It will be of interest to all who work in the social and historical sciences, from anthropologists and archaeologists to human geographers to scholars working in heritage, design and cultural studies.物质文化的研究涉及过去和现在、全球城市、工业化和小规模社会中人与物之间的关系。 《物质文化手册》对表征事物分析的理论、概念、知识辩论、实质性领域和研究传统进行了批判性的调查。它是前沿的:而不是简单地回顾当前存在的领域。它还试图描绘未来:物质文化研究可以扩展和发展的方式。 《物质文化手册》分为五个部分。 ? 第一部分将物质文化研究描绘为理论和概念领域。 ? 第二部分探讨物质形式、人体和感官之间的关系。 ? 第三节重点讨论主客体关系。 ? 第四节从生产、交换和消费、绩效以及事物的长期意义等方面的过程和转变来考虑事物。 ? 第五节考虑展示、表现和保存材料的当代政治和诗学,以及这对遗产、传统和身份概念的影响方式。该手册描绘了一个跨学科的研究领域,为理解人类的意义做出了独特而根本的贡献。所有从事社会和历史科学工作的人都会对此感兴趣,从人类学家和考古学家到人文地理学家,再到从事遗产、设计和文化研究的学者。
