Description
Material Memories: Design and Evocation explores how objects evoke memories through their association with us. By examining the process of evocation, this book reveals an open dialogue between things, their makers, and consumers.
The contributors focus on the significance of materials, social, economic, and historical contexts, as well as our sensory interactions with objects. This approach studies the physical and intellectual aspects of material culture, investigating the souvenir value of various items such as jewellery, textiles, homes, urban spaces, modernist design, photography, museums, and even sunken wrecks.
With a range of disciplines represented, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of how our perceptions of the past and history are deeply felt realities.
