1. Material Agency
Towards a Non-Anthropocentric Approach
This insightful work delves into the dynamic interplay between humans and the material world, challenging traditional perspectives on agency. By exploring how objects and materials influence human actions and societal developments, it offers a fresh lens through which to understand the interconnectedness of people and things. The book emphasizes the significance of material culture in shaping human experiences and highlights the reciprocal relationships that exist between humans and the objects they create and interact with. Through a series of case studies and theoretical discussions, it invites readers to reconsider the boundaries of agency and the role of materials in the human narrative.
