Short presentations and feedback on our essay progress. Looking round the room we have Jane, Andrea, Ryan, Rob Hazeldine, April, Jenny Lawler, James, Laura, Katie Mason, Dafyd and Me
Interesting hearing everyones subjects and ideas. Few peoples work dpes actually relate to what I'm doing, some object related work, some psychology related work. Katie and Jen in particular. Katies doing object sexualism and jen was doing creative autism and relations to feelings.
My notes were looking like this....
Why do we collect things?
Consumption --> Social Lives of Objects --> Antiques
--> Our Interactions
Consumerism --> Habits/Tastes etc.
Latour (interactions between humans and non humans essay)
Leader New Black
Appandurai Social Lives of Objects (and Castlefield)
#new life to saved objects
#order of chaos, live long, emotions
Conclude-relation to own work, work with blank objects to enable them to make own life or recreate a new life for old objects
Suggestions/Feedback
Andrea suggested "on longing" susan Stewart
Poetics of Space
The Colelctor
Cabinets of Curiosity
CAN AN OBJECT EVER BE A BLANK CANVAS?
Jane also mentioned she was happy to see that I have a theory to my conclusion and that I seem to have developed some kind of theory on my topic. Eventhough I could probably rabbit on for ages about the subject I think this session was useful and also really good to hear othe rpeoples ideas and give some feedback to them too.
