A Cultural History of Objects in Antiquity (The Cultural Histories Series) by Robin Osborne
English | August 31st, 2022 | ISBN: 1474298656 | 281 pages | True PDF | 8.19 MB
A Cultural History of Objects in Antiquity covers the period 500 BCE to 500 CE, examining ancient objects from machines and buildings to furniture and fashion. Many of our current attitudes to the world of things are shaped by ideas forged in classical antiquity. We now understand that we do not merely do things to objects, they do things to us. Reinterpreting objects in Greece and Rome casts new light on our understanding of ourselves and turns the ancient world upside down.​

The 6 volume set of the Cultural History of Objects examines how objects have been created, used, interpreted and set loose in the world over the last 2500 years. Over this time, the West has developed particular attitudes to the material world, at the centre of which is the idea of the object. The themes covered in each volume are objecthood; technology; economic objects; everyday objects; art; architecture; bodily objects; object worlds.
Robin Osborne is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Cambridge, UK.
Volume 1 in the Cultural History of Objects set.
General Editors: Dan Hicks and William Whyte
