Material Culture in the Social World by Tim Dant
Draws on theoretical work, including that of Simmel, Marx, and McLuhan as well as empirical work from humanities disciplines. This book uses ideas drawn from this work to explore a variety of things - from stone cairns to denim jeans, televisions to penis rings, houses to works of art - to understand something of how we live with them.
"This should become a core text for second year courses insociology and cultural studies..it synthesizes a vast body of literature and a complex range of debates into a text which is at once accessible, engaging and stimulating...it will lead to students seeing and thinking about the material world in a totally new light and can be used as a way into key theoretical debates." - Keith Tester, Professor of Social Theory, University of Portsmouth
Tim Dant is a Lecturer in Sociology at the University of East Anglia.
