Table of ContentsReviewsFor too long, the contemporary individual's relationship with ordinary things has been prematurely chastised as commodity fetishism or blindly embraced as conspicuous consumption. Christine Harold offers a welcome alternative, in which objects are cast in complex, subtle roles amid a broader human drama. -Ian Bogost, author of How to Talk about Videogames With thrift stores overflowing with 'fast fashion,' China hitting its limit for outsourced recycling, and even decluttering queens suddenly hawking crystals, it's clear that Westerners buy too much shit. But permit yourself one more acquisition: Christine Harold's beautiful new book, which explores how practices ranging from hacking and crafting to artisanship and storytelling can help us forge more sustained and, thus, sustainable relationships with the objects in our lives. -Nicole Seymour, author of Bad Environmentalism: Irony and Irreverence in the Ecological Age Author InformationChristine Harold is professor of communication at the University of Washington. She is author of OurSpace: Resisting the Corporate Control of Culture (Minnesota, 2007). Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
