Description
Things by Bill Brown This book invites you to consider the everyday objects that surround us. From pencils and rosary beads to cars and refrigerators, it asks why we form attachments to these things and how they shape our lives. Through eighteen thought-provoking essays, Things explores the ways in which objects influence our thoughts, feelings, and experiences. The contributors examine topics such as camp, consumer culture, and the aesthetic object, revealing new insights into the role of everyday things in shaping our world. By rethinking familiar concepts like "things" and "the thing itself," this book offers a fresh perspective on the ways in which objects produce subjects and shape our understanding of the world.
