The Materiality of Nothing explores the invisible, intangible and
transient materials and objects of everyday life and the
relationships we have with them. Drawing on over 15 years of
original, empirical research, it builds on growing research on the
everyday, and unites the established field of material culture and
materiality with emerging sociological studies exploring notions of
nothing and the unmarked. The chapters cover topics such as lost
property, museum curation, plastic microfibres, thrift, music and
even hair, illuminating how invisible and intangible materials
conjure memories, meanings and identities, inextricably binding us
to other people, places and things. In turn, the book also engages
with issues of sustainability and consumption, raising questions
regarding society’s increasing need for material accumulation and
posing some alternatives.
