Description
Materiality and Society explores the complex relationships between people and the material world. Tim Dant argues that traditional approaches to material culture have focused primarily on the symbolic meanings of objects, overlooking their impact on everyday life in late modernity.
This book examines how objects shape our experiences and interactions with others, challenging the dominant view that material culture is merely a reflection of human values and beliefs.
Through this lens, Dant sheds new light on the ways in which material culture influences social relationships, power dynamics, and cultural norms.
