Narrating Objects, Collecting Stories is a wide-ranging collection
of essays exploring the stories that can be told by and about
objects and those who choose to collect them. Examining objects and
collecting in different historical, social and institutional
contexts, an international, interdisciplinary group of authors
consider the meanings and values with which objects are imputed and
the processes and implications of collecting. This includes
considering the entanglement of objects and collectors in webs of
social relations, value and change, object biographies and the
sometimes conflicting stories that things come to represent, and
the strategies used to reconstruct and retell the narratives of
objects. The book includes considerations of individual and groups
of objects, such as domestic interiors, novelty tea-pots, Scottish
stone monuments, African ironworking, a postcolonial painting and
memorials to those killed on the roads in Australia. It also
contains chapters dealing with particular collectors - including
Charles Bell and Beatrix Potter - and representational techniques.
