It has become a touchstone in contemporary artifact-based scholarship. This volume brings together leading anthropologists, archaeologists, art historians and other scholars into an interdisciplinary dialogue with \u003cem\u003eArt and Agency\u003c\/em\u003e, generating a timely re-engagement with the themes, issues and arguments at the heart of Gell's work, which remains salient, and controversial, in the social sciences and humanities. Extending his theory into new territory - from music to literary technology and ontology to technological change - the contributors do not simply take stock, but also provoke, critically reassessing this important work while using it to challenge conceptual and disciplinary boundaries.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46496244662423,"sku":"9781782389132","price":3849.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781782389132.webp?v=1769187566","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/distributed-objects-meaning-and-mattering-after-alfred-gell-9781782389132","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
