The Material Subject delves into the intricate interplay between bodily and material cultures, exploring how they coalesce to shape and transform individuals dynamically. Drawing upon the rich tapestry of ideas from influential thinkers such as Mauss, Schilder, Foucault, and Bourdieu, this book offers a novel perspective on the anthropological study of embodiment, practices, techniques, materiality, and power.
Through a combination of theoretical sophistication and empirical field research, the book presents a series of case studies from diverse regions across Europe, Africa, and Asia. These case studies serve as a platform for engaging with other strands of material culture studies in the English-speaking world, fostering a rich dialogue and mediating diverse scales of engagement.
The chapters in this book are organized according to domains of practice, each representing a distinct aspect of material culture. These domains include matter of work and technology, heritage, politics, religion, and knowledge. By examining these domains, the book provides scholars and students with a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted nature of material culture and its profound impact on individuals and societies.
This book offers valuable insights to scholars and students with an interest in material culture, providing them with a gateway to global research rooted in a specific intellectual tradition. It serves as a valuable resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of the complex relationships between bodies, materials, and power, and its implications for our understanding of the world.
