Objects have always been considered with an eye to their worth - economic, aesthetic, and\/or functional. If that worth is diminished, their meaning and value disappear, they are just \u003ci\u003ethings.\u003c\/i\u003e Yet things can still fulfil functions in our daily lives; they hold symbolic potential, from personal memory triggers, to focal points of public ritual and religion; from collectors' obsession, to symbols of loss, displacement, and violence. By bringing into dialogue the work of specialists in ethnology, art history, architecture, and design; literature, languages, cultures, and heritage studies, this volume considers how displaced memory - the memory of refugees, migrants, and their descendants; of those who have moved from the countryside to the city; of those who have faced personal upheaval and profound social change; those who have been forced into exile or experienced major personal or collective loss - can become embodied in material culture. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is important reading to those interested in cultural and social history and cultural studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chiara Giuliani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367631911\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367631918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Chiara Giuliani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44070706512127,"sku":"9780367631918","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23196d7b-b9b6-4018-bf5d-6b2dd4552020.jpg?v=1685431889","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/memory-mobility-and-material-culture-chiara-giuliani-9780367631918","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
