Description

Explore the deep significance of everyday items in Mundane Objects: Materiality and Non-verbal Communication. Part of the UCL Institute of Archaeology Critical Cultural Heritage Series, this book examines how objects often viewed as ordinary by outsiders actually sit at the center of the thought processes and daily practices of those who create and use them. This volume investigates the role of material items in nonverbal communication during both ritual and non-ritual settings. The text explains how the physical properties and material implementation of certain objects serve as wordless expressions of specific ways of living and thinking. In some instances, these objects act as the primary way to express concepts that cannot be put into words. Designed for scholars and those interested in cultural heritage, this work provides a new perspective on how the material world communicates meaning without language. It offers a detailed look at how the physical nature of an object can convey fundamental aspects of a culture's identity and worldview.
