The Socialness of Things

Essays on the Socio-Semiotics of Objects. Edited by Stephen Harold Riggins. Not how or even whether things get along with each other, but the integration of objects into the social fabric of everyday human life is the subject of the 17 essays focusing on artifacts as agents and process, the built environment and the political ecology of artifacts, and the skin of culture as expressed in clothing and adornment.
