OBJECT STUDIES - CYRUS MULREADY KARTONIERT (TB)

Object Studies: Introductions to Material Culture is a textbook that introduces students to an
interdisciplinary approach to material cultural study. This text helps reveal how everyday
objects from pens and coffee cups to our most cherished keepsakes help define our collective
histories and personal narratives. Object Studies is organized around accessible and engaging
chapters on objects with model essays that present original projects designed to engage
students with a series of concepts and research activities. Each will demonstrate a key
methodology tied to specific learning outcomes  but all chapters will be intertwined in their
attention to the project of developing the core skills of object studies: careful viewing 
writing detailed descriptions  setting out and testing research hypotheses  and telling stories
through material artifacts. Aimed towards undergraduate students taking courses in material
culture as well as postgraduate students embarking on independent research projects these
chapter studies are practically oriented and demonstrate research projects that can be
undertaken either in a course or even through personal study. Chapters in Object Studies
conclude with research questions  suggestions on methodology  and a discursive bibliography
designed to help students pursue their own projects based on these examples.
