We habitually categorize the world in binary logics of 'animate'
and 'inanimate', 'natural' and 'supernatural', 'self' and 'other',
'authentic' and 'inauthentic'. The Inbetweenness of Things rejects
such Western classificatory traditions - which tend to categorize
objects using bounded notions of period, place and purpose - and
argues instead for a paradigm where objects are not one thing or
another but a multiplicity of things at once. Adopting an
'object-centred' approach, with contributions from material culture
specialists across various disciplines, the book showcases a series
of objects that defy neat classification. In the process, it
explores how 'things' mediate and travel between conceptual worlds
in diverse cultural, geographic and temporal contexts, and how they
embody this mediation and movement in their form. With an
impressive range of international authors, each essay grounds
explorations of cutting-edge theory in concrete case studies. An
innovative, thought-provoking read for students and researchers in
anthropology, archaeology, museum studies and art history which
will transform the way readers think about objects.
