Past and present advances in the discourse on materialisms are approached from a case study perspective through the lens of two different but complementary themes: object biography and materiality in relation to medium. Each essay offers a distinct insight into the always shifting meanings, values, and relational connections of things, exploring a diversity of concepts, contexts, and material elements from prehistory to today.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Archaeological Institute of America","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45848265687191,"sku":"9781931909464","price":2728.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781931909464.webp?v=1769297766","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/of-things-and-stories-current-approaches-to-object-biography-medium-and-materiality-9781931909464","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
