It is an invitation to think about the fetishism of daily life in different times and in different cultures. It is an invitation to rethink several topics of critical inquiry--camp, collage, primitivism, consumer culture, museum culture, the aesthetic object, still life, "things as they are," Renaissance wonders, "the thing itself"--Within the rubric of "things," not in an effort to foreclose the question of what sort of things these seem to be, but rather to suggest new questions about how objects produce subjects, about the phenomenology of the material everyday, about the secret life of things. Based on an award-winning special issue of the journal Critical Inquiry, Things features eighteen thought-evoking essays by contributors including Bill Brown, Matthew L. Jones, Bruno Latour, W. J. T. Mitchell, Jessica Riskin, Jeffrey T. Schnapp, Peter Schwenger, Charity Scribner, and Alan Trachtenberg. 000892369 650_0 $$aMaterial culture$$xPhilosophy. 000892369 7001_ $$aBrown, Bill,$$d1958- 000892369 85200 $$bgen$$hGN406$$i.T45$$i2004 000892369 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:892369$$pGLOBAL_SET 000892369 980__ $$aBIB 000892369 980__ $$aBOOK
