It focuses on the significance and circulation of porcelain and crystal sets and ornaments during late socialism and after 1989, following the experiences of consumers, workers in the glassware and porcelain industry, and artists. By tracing the values and temporalities embedded in materiality, the book sheds light on how objects shape daily life in a time of cultural, economic, and social change. Drawing on ethnographic research, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the ambiguous relationship between the middle-class and the socialist state, using materiality and consumption to shed light on contradictions between aspirations and resources and between official discourses and everyday practices. The book reveals changes in practices of display, gift exchange, and barter, in the perception and use of time, as well as in gender and inter-generational relations. This work will be of interest to sociologists, anthropologists and cultural historians, especially researchers interested in consumption, material culture, postsocialism, the anthropology of value and gift, the study of social time, practices of the middle-class, and the history of consumption in Eastern Europe. Maria Cristache completed her PhD in sociology at Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany, and was a member of the Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture. 001440542 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001440542 650_0 $$aMaterial culture$$zRomania. 001440542 650_0 $$aMiddle class$$zRomania. 001440542 650_6 $$aCulture matérielle$$zRoumanie. 001440542 651_0 $$aRomania$$xSocial life and customs. 001440542 651_0 $$aRomania$$xHistory$$y1989- 001440542 651_6 $$aRoumanie$$xHistoire$$y1989- 001440542 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001440542 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001440542 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z3030787826$$z9783030787820$$w(OCoLC)1250512269 001440542 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aCristache, Maria.$$tDomesticity on display$$z9783030787820$$w(OCoLC)1263799265 001440542 830_0 $$aConsumption and public life. 001440542 852__ $$bebk 001440542 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-78783-7$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001440542 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1440542$$pGLOBAL_SET 001440542 980__ $$aBIB 001440542 980__ $$aEBOOK 001440542 982__ $$aEbook 001440542 983__ $$aOnline 001440542 994__ $$a92$$bISE
