Material turn, return to things, and the
critique of constructivism are just some
of the terms that began to organize
discussions in humanities and social
sciences in the early 2000s and have
not left them to this day. The interest in
the relationship between human and
non-human actors exceeds the existing
disciplinary divisions and escapes
subordination to one field of research.
The course aims to familiarize
participants with the basic concepts,
most important currents of cultural
research focused on things. We will
look at selected methodological
approaches – materialism,
phenomenology, theory of things,
actor-network-theory, new
materialisms, and object-oriented
ontologies (OOO) – asking each time
about their application in different
cultural contexts and media. The
examples discussed include museum
exhibitions (ways of showing objects),
representations of things in literature,
as well as selected case studies of the
life of material objects in socio-cultural
practices and their research.
