Description

Explore the deep connection between humans and the material world with On Collecting: An Investigation into Collecting in the European Tradition. Published by Routledge, this book offers a fresh look at why we gather objects and what these habits reveal about our social structures. While collecting is a universal human custom, this study focuses specifically on the unique methods found within Europe and societies shaped by European traditions. Author Susan Pearce examines the psychology behind our passions. She asks fundamental questions about why we assign value to specific items and how these objects add meaning to our daily lives. The text investigates whether there are differences in how men and women approach collecting and how we use physical objects to define our identity. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in museum studies, cultural history, or the social impact of material culture.
