Time and Its Object : A Perspective from Amerindian and Melanesian Societies on the Temporality of Images EPUB
Edited by Paolo (Durham University, United Kingdom) Fortis, Susanne (University College London, UK) Kuchler
Part of the Routledge Studies in Anthropology series
EPUB
Description
This volume examines the way objects and images relate to and shape notions of temporality and history.
Bringing together ethnographic studies from the Lowlands of Central and South America and Melanesia, it explores the temporality inhering in images and artefacts from a comparative perspective.
The chapters focus on how peoples in both regions ‘live in’ and ‘navigate’ time each through their distinctive systems of images and the processes and actions by which these come to be manifest in objects.
With original theoretical and ethnographic contributions, the book is valuable reading for scholars interested in visual and material culture and in anthropological approaches to time.
