The role of objects and images in everyday life are illuminated
incisively in Material Vernaculars, which combines historical,
ethnographic, and object-based methods across a diverse range of
material and visual cultural forms. The contributors to this volume
offer revealing insights into the significance of such practices as
scrapbooking, folk art produced by the elderly, the wedding coat in
Osage ceremonial exchanges, temporary huts built during the Jewish
festival of Sukkot, and Kiowa women's traditional roles in raiding
and warfare. While emphasizing local vernacular culture, the
contributors point to the ways that culture is put to social ends
within larger social networks and within the stream of history.
While attending to the material world, these case studies explicate
the manner in which the tangible and intangible, the material and
the meaningful, are constantly entwined and co-constituted.
