In particular, the work is situated in the anthropological study of techniques, materiality and power via the ideas of the Matière à Penser (MaP) school of thought. It provides students and scholars of material culture with valuable access to an intellectual tradition developed mostly in France and to emerging cross-disciplinary research. The book highlights the embodied subject as a holistic entity - including mind, drives and pains - engaged in relationships with others, and in doing so rejects the Western notion of the self-managing individual with disembodied thought. The chapters mediate different scales of engagement through a focus on practices and connect the study of physical properties (of both humans and objects) and gestures to larger questions of how individuals are connected with their environment and each other through actions"-- aEnglish. 0aMaterial culturexPhilosophy. 0aMaterial culturexResearch.1 aMohan, Urmilaeeditor.1 aDouny, Laurenceeeditor. 2ddccBK 00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2023-03-16eOverseasg0.00l0o306 MAT-p53588r2023-06-02 00:00:00v0.00w2023-06-02yBK
