The Scholar’s Coffee -- List of ContributorsWhile the so-called material turn in the humanities and the social sciences has inspired a vibrant discourse on objects, things, and the concept of materiality in general, less attention has been paid to materials, particularly in cultural studies scholarship. With each of its chapters taking a particular material as its point of departure, this volume offers a palette of fresh approaches to materials within the realm of cultural studies. The contributors call for a materials-based perspective on culture, which has become all the more pertinent by the need for sustainability in times of climate change, energy crisis, conflict, migration, and the lingering coronavirus pandemic.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular CulturebisacshArt.Cultural History.Cultural Studies.Cultural Theory.Culture.Material Culture.Media.Society.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture.Adriaensen Brigitte, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbAtalaia Nuno, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbBoom Jeroen, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbBruggeman Daniëlle, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbCober Carlijn, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbDam Frederik van, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbEkkelboom Oscar, ctbhttps://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/ctbFarahmand Airin, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMunteán László, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPlate Liedeke, edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtRadboud University Nijmwegenfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910735579803321Materials of Culture3460580UNINA
