Sommario/riassunto |
|
In a world obsessed with the virtual, tangible things are once again making history. Tangible Things invites readers to look closely at the things around them, ordinary things like the food on their plate and extraordinary things like the transit of planets across the sky. It argues that almost any material thing, when examined closely, can be a link beween present and past. The authors of this book pulled an astonishing array of materials out of storage--from a pencil manufactured by Henry David Thoreau to a bracelet made from iridescent beetles--in a wide range of Harvard University collecti |

Sommario/riassunto |

Au cours d’une brève visite dans un pays étranger, un observateur intelligent peut, jusqu’à un certain point, reconnaître les besoins intellectuels, moraux, spirituels d’une population, mais c’est seulement par un séjour prolongé parmi eux, que ces besoins peuvent être |

reconnus avec précision. Nos rapports quotidiens avec la population de Huahine renforcèrent ses appels à notre sympathie et à nos efforts : nos premières entrevues les avaient déjà provoqués.
