Download or read book The Material Culture Reader written by Victor Buchli and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-31 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material culture has finally earned a central place within anthropology. Emerging from the pioneering work done at University College London, this reader brings together for the first time seminal articles that have helped shape the anthropological study of material culture. With topics ranging from the anthropology of art to architecture, landscape studies, archaeology, consumption studies and heritage management, this key text reflects the breadth of material culture studies today. The authors, who discuss field sites as distant as Vanuatu, New Ireland, Trinidad and Soviet Russia, show how material culture provides a new lens for viewing the world around us and effectively bridges the gap between theory and data. Providing the first-ever synthesis of these ground-breaking essays in an easily accessible volume, this book will serve as a comprehensive introduction to the subject and a valuable reference guide for anyone interested in material culture, anthropology, art and museum studies.

Book excerpt: Join us as we share Ron's exciting stories as a New Guinea art dealer in the island's always difficult, sometimes dangerous, jungles. Beginning with his first trip in 1964 and continuing for over forty years, his fascination with the remote places, the remote people, the amazing art, made him one of the few adventurous dealers who bought art directly from tribal artists. He and other traders are rarely mentioned in the literature, yet they formed the link between isolated village artists and crafts people and the wider world they brought the art out.Ron's early explorations took place during a unique and vanished era, the post-colonial years after World War 2. Our book includes over four hundred and fifty photographs from this period of profound change in the Territory of Papua and New Guinea as natives and expatriates mixed the old, the new and the unexpected.
