About this Item
Title
- Sensitive objects : affect and material culture
Summary
- "Some objects stand out as personal and important to us. A packed suitcase, an inherited vase, the remains from a humanitarian aid packet - things can induce affects. In Sensitive Objects the authors focus on material culture and on practice - on what affect does. Some of them place the issue of sensitivity in a wider frame of professional interest in innovation and culture-tourism. The volume is a contribution to the upcoming field of affect research that has so far has been mainly explored in psychology and cultural studies. In their texts ethnologists and anthropologists involved show how established ways of analysing culture benefit from achievements in this field. They use fieldwork to examine how people project affects onto material objects and explore how objects trigger affects."--Description provided by publisher.
