Romain Mollet _omain_ollet — I love Cormac McCarthy. I love is images of the west. I love the simple but oh so detailed descriptions that tell me the things I wouldn't think to imagine without his help. This book is decidedly less visual, probably because McCarthy has chosen to describe a place where there isn't much description. The story, though there really isn't much story, though it’s made up for by a lot of walking, is a boy and his father walk south sometime 7 or so years after the apocalypse. What I love most about the story is that we never have any idea what caused the apocalypse, all we know is what the father knows, which isn't much, since pretty much everything was destroyed. It's just a poignant image of how one might deal with the reality that there really is no future to speak of. A disclaimer should be noted: if you are as personally affected by the books you read as I am, wait for a cheerful sunny summer day to read this. I was depressed for the whole time I was reading it, plus a little bit afterwards and it took me a while to realize it was the book and not my life that was depressing.

Dreier Maëlle maelledreier — Great fun--I always recommend this book--especially for trips. Especially fun if you love old New York stuff.

Nazlı Yalçın nazlinur — I agree with everyone's reviews. This book was baaaad. That's all.

James Olstein jamesolstein — Folklorist and ethnographer Henry H. Glassie’s Material Culture (1999) pulls together thought and work developed over the course of the author’s career. Favoring straightforward expression over theoretical gymnastics, Glassie bemoans the loss of 1960s-style academic activism noting that the trend is to “refine theory past any empirical need, displaying academic virtuosity, while the world fades from attention” (76). He defines material culture as the “tangible yield of human conduct” and suggests that artifacts are nonverbal texts that are best understood within the many, overlapping contexts they occupy (41). The scholar’s job, therefore, is to join text to context through what Glassie calls compositional (description, analysis) and associational (discerning meaning, patterns, and connections in the data amassed in the compositional stage) “moves.” The various contexts he proposes are not well delineated. He focuses primarily on creation, consumption, and communication but also mentions assimilation, preservation, compositional, conceptual (shared meanings), and physical contexts. While he notes that things must be studied not only in and of themselves as “sets of parts” but also as belonging to “parts of sets,” he means the study of like objects rather than, as Schelreth emphasized, objects of different sorts that participate in aggregates or systems. Though Glassie’s bibliography does not include writings by Miller (or by Appadurai or Schelreth, for that matter), there is a common concern for man’s fate in an over-commodified world. Glassie finds redemptive power in acts of creation. By study the objects that artisans create, he believes that we can learn about others’ values and how they manage in the world. Such understandings might allow us to join together against the forces that “thwart” creation and together overcome “our separation in a oneness of humanity” (86). In assessing material culture studies, he laments the shift in focus from creation to consumption, from handcrafted artifacts to the study of “goods.” He sees this as yielding to capitalism’s “dominion” rather than opposing it through an affirmation of creation. At this point one wonders why the worlds of Miller and Glassie have not intersected. Like Miller, however, he ultimately decides that consumption can be creative, pointing to such things as customized cars as evidence of what he calls the assimilation context. Assimilation, Glassie states, is the last stage of consumption and is the context we shape for a thing out of our own concerns (59). There are parallels here to Miller’s notion of sublation as the process by which alienated culture is once again made personal, meaningful, and counter-hegemonic.

Sofia Kozlovska _ofka_oz — Who doesn't love Anne? One of my all time favs - and the TV series is just as good!!

Richard Anderson _alley_roductions — I had this book sitting on my self for as long as I can remember, then after I finished "Speak" I finally started reading. It's great!!!!!! You totally have to read it.(Just as a warning it is really sad at some points, in my opinion of course.)
