It explores how a range of objects have historically been significant bearers and agents of frontier making. For instance, how are objects connected to aspects of state making, social change, everyday life, diplomacy, political and ecological worlds, capital, forms of violence, resistances, circulations, and aesthetic expressions?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to interrogate and understand the dynamism of frontiers from the vantage point of objects such as salt, rubber, tea, guns, silk scarves, horses, and opium. It attempts to explore objects as sites of encounter, mediation, or dislocation between the social and the spatial. The book not only locates objects in the specificities of frontier spaces, but it also looks at how they are produced, circulated, and come to be intricately linked to a wide range of people, institutions, networks, and geographies. In the process, it explores how objects traverse and come to inhabit multiple historical, cultural, and geographical scales. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to researchers and academics working in areas of history, social and cultural anthropology, Asian studies, frontiers and borderland studies, cultural studies, political and economic studies, and museum studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lipokmar Dzüvichü\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138616079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138616073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge India\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Lipokmar Dzüvichü","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087753982207,"sku":"9781138616073","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ddaf747f-2238-4d32-bf51-b6ee2bd3d1f2.jpg?v=1769101207","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/objects-and-frontiers-in-modern-lipokmar-dzzvichz-9781138616073","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
