Review # 1 was written on 2013-08-13 00:00:00 Steven Dornacker This anthology explores the dialectic relationship between material objects and memory. Consciousness/identity, remembering (both in the sense of memorializing and involuntary memory), and evocation function through sensual and emotional experience to create layers of meaning, which both transcend and transform through time and culture shift. Though many of the essays had a European focus, topics ranged from the Renaissance to the late 20th century, demonstrating the use of material culture studies to a variety of disciplines and time periods. Very interesting reading.
