DRAZIN, ADAM / KÜCHLER, SUSANNE, ed. . The social life of materials: studies in materials and society. London ;: Bloomsbury Academic, 2015, xxviii, 301pp., . SOME MARKINGS - Materials play a central role in society. Beyond the physical and chemical properties of materials, their cultural properties have often been overlooked in anthropological studies: finished products have been perceived as 'social' yet the materials which comprise them are considered 'raw' or natural'. The Social Life of Materials proposes a new perspective in this interdisciplinary field. Diverting attention from the consumption of objects, the book looks towards the properties of materials and how these exist through many transformations in a variety of cultural contexts. Bringing together ethnographic studies of cultures from around the world, this collection explores the significance of materials by moving beyond questions of what may be created from them. Instead, the text argues that the materials themselves represent a shifting ground around which relationships, identities and powers are constantly formed and dissolved in the act of making and remaking. - CONTENTS: Part 1.

Soft cover. Condición: As New. Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6.25" x 9.5", is like new. xii/212 pages. "Malanggan are the funerary effigies of New Ireland, Papua New Guinea, which can be found in ethnographic museums throughout the world. Malanggan is also the generic name of a funerary ritual that culminates in the production of effigies, their dramatic revelation, and their symbolic "death" - the remains of an effigy, which may have taken more than 3 months to prepare, are usually left to decompose, or are sold to collectors. In this book Susanne Kuechler offers more than just an ethnography of malanggan - she proposes a new interpretation of these enigmatic figures, and considers the role that they play in New Ireland ritual and exchange. She also provides a fascinating discussion of memory and "likeness", and the role of visual resemblance in the forging of connections between the world of the living and that of the dead.".…
