Abstract

"This interdisciplinary anthology presents 10 chapters from a range of scholars in art history, cultural studies and anthropology to unpack the complex relationship between people and things via an object-centred model of identity. Presenting a global section of case studies, Material Selves confronts vital questions of identity, agency, and materiality, highlighting the way in which we use objects to tell stories, construct myths and make sense of our place in the world. Thus, this path-breaking volume shows how the objects with which we adorn and surround ourselves provide a model for the construction of raced, gendered, and cultured subjectivity"--
