This clear and lively book provides an illuminating analysis of
collecting as a major social and individual phenomenon in
contemporary society. The book is based on the understanding of
collecting practice, rather than the collections themselves. It
highlights the significance of collecting in relation to the
cultural process, popular culture, contemporary attitudes to
material culture and the idea of collecting as a postmodern
activity. Susan Pearce presents both quantitative and qualitative
information from a broad spectrum of contemporary collectors and
relates their collecting to broader issues of consumption, gender,
family and social class. Accessible and original, Collecting in
Contemporary Practice will be of interest to students, academics
and professionals in museum studies, cultural studies, anthropology
and material culture studies.
