Description
Sherry Turkle's Evocative Objects explores the power of everyday objects to evoke emotion and provoke thought. The author reflects on a range of personal objects, from a cello to a laptop computer, and how they have shaped her experiences and relationships.
Through a collection of essays and juxtapositions with philosophical, historical, literary, and theoretical texts, Turkle reveals the emotional and intellectual significance of ordinary objects. She shows how these objects can anchor memory, sustain relationships, and inspire new ideas.
This book offers a fresh perspective on the importance of everyday things, highlighting their role in design, play, discipline, desire, history, exchange, mourning, memory, transition, and passage. By examining the connections between objects and our thoughts, feelings, and experiences, Evocative Objects invites readers to reconsider the significance of the mundane.
