Material Culture Review, No. 79
Cape Breton University, CanadaThings between Worlds.
Creating Exoticism and Authenticity in the West, from the 19th Century
to the Present.This special issue of the Material Culture Review is concerned with
things being used in an other context than the one in which they
originated. Delocalization and relocalization of material culture
happen on different scales – not only between different continents, but
also within the same country or inside a single apartment. This
perspective allows to study the migration of objects from one territory
to another.Table of contents
