Book Synopsis Experiencing Material Culture in the Western World by : Susan M. Pearce
Book excerpt: Among the 13 contributions are studies of the role that material symbols played in the relationship between the two parts of Germany before and after the collapse of the communist states in the East; the material culture of left-handedness and its implications; the connection between modern hedonism, the repeated desire for new things and the Romantic Movement--itself an artifact of the Protestant Reformation; and the way the object world is used in the construction of fictional narrative.
