Writing Material Culture History 2e examines the methodologies used
in the historical study of material culture. Looking at
archaeology, anthropology, art history and literary studies, the
book provides students with a fundamental understanding of the
relationship between artefacts and historical narratives. The book
addresses the role of museums, the impact of the digital age and
the representations of objects in public history, bringing together
students and specialists from around the world. This new edition
includes: A new substantive introduction from the editors,
providing a useful roadmap for students and specialists. A more
balanced and easy-to-use structure, including methodological
chapters and ‘object in focus’ chapters consisting of case
studies for classroom discussion. New chapters showing greater
engagement with 20th-century material culture, non-European
artefacts and the definitions and limits of material culture as a
discipline. Offers global coverage and discussion of both the early
modern and modern periods. Writing Material Culture History 2e is
an essential tool for students seeking to understand the potential
of objects to re-cast established historical narratives in new and
exciting ways.
