Material culture is examined from a variety of perspectives and the authors rigorously investigate the creation and meaning of material object, and their associated practices within the context of time and place. All chapters in this volume are representative, rather than exhaustive, in their portrayal of Asian material culture. Nevertheless, they clearly demonstrate that the objects, seen as material evidence of culture, are entities that resonate with discourses of human relationships, personal and group identity formation, ethics and values, histories, determination of ethnicity, local and international trade, consumption and above all distinctive futures.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Marianne Hulsbosch</note> <subject> <topic>aesthetics</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">306.095</classification> <classification authority="ddc">M333-H92</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9789089640901</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/7/_9610555466_140.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/ImageCover/2022/3/7/_9610555466_140.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2022-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119070535.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
