Feeling Things: Objects and Emotions through History de Stephanie Downes

Feeling Things: Objects and Emotions through History: Emotions in History

Editat de Stephanie Downes, Sally Holloway, Sarah Randles
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 ian 2018

Bazându-ne pe cercetările recente din cadrul seriei Emotions in History, descoperim în volumul Feeling Things o analiză riguroasă a culturii materiale din Europa premodernă. Publicată de OUP Oxford, această lucrare colectivă, editată de Stephanie Downes, Sally Holloway și Sarah Randles, abordează o lacună teoretică importantă: intersecția dintre materialitate și afect în perioadele în care alfabetizarea limitată acorda prioritate comunicării prin obiecte. Observăm cum obiecte cotidiene sau excepționale — de la scrisori și textile până la proteze și relicve — devin „obiecte emoționale” cu o agenție proprie în construcția identităților naționale sau comunitare.

Structura volumului integrează perspective din istoria artei, arheologie și studii literare, oferind o metodologie pentru a urmări modul în care frica, speranța sau uimirea sunt atribuite artefactelor de-a lungul timpului. Cele 31 de ilustrații incluse susțin argumentele autorilor, oferind dovezi vizuale pentru modul în care materialitatea a servit drept vehicul pentru devotamentul religios și relațiile interpersonale. Față de abordările strict cronologice, acest volum prioritizează valența emoțională a obiectului în contexte culturale schimbătoare.

Suntem de părere că Feeling Things reprezintă o alternativă necesară la The Routledge History of Emotions in Europe de Susan Broomhall pentru cursurile de istorie culturală. În timp ce volumul coordonat de Broomhall oferă o privire de ansamblu asupra câmpului de cercetare între 1100 și 1700, Feeling Things aduce avantajul unei focalizări specifice pe obiect ca punct central al experienței umane, propunând un cadru teoretic nou pentru analiza supraviețuirii emoțiilor prin artefacte.

Descriere

This interdisciplinary essay collection investigates the various interactions of people, feelings, and things throughout premodern Europe. It focuses on the period before mass production, when limited literacy often prioritised material methods of communication. The subject of materiality has been of increasing significance in recent historical inquiry, alongside growing emphasis on the relationships between objects, emotions, and affect in archaeological and sociological research. The historical intersections between materiality and emotions, however, have remained under-theorised, particularly with respect to artefacts that have continuing resonance over extended periods of time or across cultural and geographical space. Feeling Things addresses the need to develop an appropriate cross-disciplinary theoretical framework for the analysis of objects and emotions in European history, with special attention to the need to track the shifting emotional valencies of objects from the past to the present, and from one place and cultural context to another. The collection draws together an international group of historians, art historians, curators, and literary scholars working on a variety of cultural, literary, visual, and material sources. Objects considered include books, letters, prosthetics, religious relics, shoes, stone, and textiles. Many of these have been preserved in international galleries, museums, and archives, while others have remained in their original locations, even as their contexts have changed over time. The chapters consider the ways in which emotions such as despair, fear, grief, hope, love, and wonder become inscribed in and ascribed to these items, producing 'emotional objects' of significance and agency. Such objects can be harnessed to create, affirm, or express individual relationships, as, for example, in religious devotion and practice, or in the construction of cultural, communal, and national identities.

Recenzii

...constantly challenges the reader to consider yet another perspective on what thinking with materiality might do for the emotions scholar. It is interesting as a whole, but it is also a collection that has produced some essays of remarkable quality, a pleasure to read.
The historians in this volume represent an exemplary range of skills and array of methodological tools for the analysis of historical stuff. Dynamics of power, presences of historical bodies, traces of historical selves, all emerge from material evidence and the ways in which it has been marked, used or applied. As an advertisement for the importance of material history, this book could not have done a finer job. The editors' introduction alone is an essential primer on work in this field, and recommended as a good place to begin for anyone seeking exposure to the variety of methods historians use to handle the physical stuff of history.
This excellent volume is a must-read for all emotions students and scholars. In the hands of three insightful editors, the book makes an important methodological statement about the field of emotions history, and maps future research trajectories by successfully intertwining the field with theories and methods from material culture studies.
Feeling Things is a welcome and timely addition to scholarship in the fields of both material culture studies and the history of emotions.
The chapters in this collection are engaging and fascinating. Although all the objects examined are from the medieval or early modern period, the arguments the authors make regarding the way objects can affect our lives, and the way our lives affect objects, resonate with other time periods and disciplines.
