Amiria Henare explores the role of material cultural research in
anthropology and related disciplines from the late eighteenth
century to the present. Grounded in a historical ethnography of
museums in New Zealand and Scotland, the work traces the movement
of artefacts now held in contemporary collections through space and
time, demonstrating how and why things were bought, exchanged and
stolen and carried across oceans to arrive in present-day museums.
The collecting of artefacts and their study both in museums and the
the field are emphasised as key strategies in the development of
anthropological thought, While much late twentieth-century writing
in anthropology has employed analytic models and methodologies
derived from the study of language, this work belongs to a growing
body of research drawing on the epistemological potency of
artefacts, the distinctive insights afforded by engagement with
material things.
