Contemporary Collecting: Objects, Practices, and the Fate of Things

Contemporary Collecting: Objects, Practices, and the Fate of Things In Contemporary Collecting: Objects, Practices, and the Fate of Things, Kevin M. Moist and David Banash have assembled several essays that examine collecting practices on both a personal and professional level. These essays situate collectors and collections in a contemporary context and also show how our changing world finds new meaning in the legacy of older collections. Arranged by such themes as 'Collecting in a Virtual World,' 'Changing Relationships with Things,' 'Collecting and Identity-Personal and Political,' and 'Collecting Practices and Cultural Hierarchies,' these essays help illuminate the role of objects in our lives.
