Friends of Interpretable Objects
Author: Miguel TAMEN
language: en
Publisher: Harvard University Press
Release Date: 2009-06-30
Tamen's concern is to show how inanimate objects take on life through their interpretation--notably, in our own culture, as they are collected and housed in museums. It is his claim that an object becomes interpretable only in the context of a "society of friends." Thus, he suggests, our inveterate tendency as human beings to interpret the phenomenal world gives objects not only a life but also a society.
