Summary:The Oxford handbook of material culture studies introduces and reviews current thinking in the interdisciplinary field of material culture studies. Drawing together approaches from archaeology, anthropology, geography, and science and technology studies, through twenty-eight specially commissioned essays by leading international researchers, the volume explores contemporary issues and debates in a series of themed sections - Disciplinary perspectives, material practices, object and humans, landscapes and the built environment, and studying particular things. Ranging from Coca-Cola, chimpanzees, artworks, and ceramics, to museums, cities, human bodies, and magical objects, the handbook is an essential resource for anyone with an interest in materiality and the place of material things in human life, both past and present. A comprehensive bibliography enhances its usefulness both as a research tool and as a classroom text.
