A Cultural History of Objects in the Modern Age covers the period
1900 to today, a time marked by massive global changes in
production, transportation, and information-sharing in a
post-colonial world. New materials and inventions - from plastics
to the digital to biotechnology - have created unprecedented scales
of disruption, shifting and blurring the categories and meanings of
the object. If the 20th century demonstrated that humans can be
treated like things whilst things can become ever more human, where
will the 21st century take us? The 6 volume set of the Cultural
History of Objects examines how objects have been created, used,
interpreted and set loose in the world over the last 2500 years.
Over this time, the West has developed particular attitudes to the
material world, at the centre of which is the idea of the object.
The themes covered in each volume are objecthood; technology;
economic objects; everyday objects; art; architecture; bodily
objects; object worlds. Laurie A. Wilkie is Professor at the
University of California-Berkeley, USA. John M. Chenoweth, is
Associate Professor at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, USA.
Volume 6 in the Cultural History of Objects set. General Editors:
Dan Hicks and William Whyte
