Produktbeschreibung

As people move through life, they continually shift affiliation from one position to another, dependent on the wider contexts of their interactions. Different forms of material culture may be employed as affiliations shift, and the connotations of any given set of artifacts may change. In this volume the authors explore these overlapping spheres of social affiliation. The international contributions each illuminate how the various identifiers of race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, class, gender, personhood, health, and/or religion are part of both material expressions of social affiliations, and transient experiences of identity.

Rezensionen

These cases and theoretical approaches demonstrate how the axes of race, ethnicity, sexuality, age, class, gender, personhood, health, and /or religion contribute to both material expressions of social affiliations and transient experiences of identity.
