Of Things and Stories : Current Approaches to Object Biography, Medium, and Materiality Paperback / softback

Edited by Christina Marini, Lita Tzortzopoulou-Gregory

Part of the Selected Papers on Ancient Art and Architecture series

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

From the gold of the shaft graves of Mycenae to an undecorated Late Roman lekythos, and from facade statuary in Roman Ephesus to electroplated teapots in present-day household assemblages on the island of Kythera, this volume presents a selection of essays on the complex and ever-progressing relationships between things and people across time and space.

Past and present advances in the discourse on materialisms are approached from a case study perspective through the lens of two different but complementary themes: object biography and materiality in relation to medium.

Each essay offers a distinct insight into the always shifting meanings, values, and relational connections of things, exploring a diversity of concepts, contexts, and material elements from prehistory to today.
