圖書描述

The meaning that people attribute to things necessarily derives from human transactions and motivations, particularly from how those things are used and circulated. The contributors to this volume examine how things are sold and traded in a variety of social and cultural settings, both present and past. Focusing on culturally defined aspects of exchange and socially regulated processes of circulation, the essays illuminate the ways in which people find value in things and things give value to social relations. By looking at things as if they lead social lives, the authors provide a new way to understand how value is externalized and sought after. They discuss a wide range of goods - from oriental carpets to human relics - to reveal both that the underlying logic of everyday economic life is not so far removed from that which explains the circulation of exotica, and that the distinction between contemporary economies and simpler, more distant ones is less obvious than has been thought. As the editor argues in his introduction, beneath the seeming infinitude of human wants, and the apparent multiplicity of material forms, there in fact lie complex, but specific, social and political mechanisms that regulate taste, trade, and desire.

Containing contributions from American and British social anthropologists and historians, the volume bridges the disciplines of social history, cultural anthropology, and economics, and marks a major step in our understanding of the cultural basis of economic life and the sociology of culture. It will appeal to anthropologists, social historians, economists. archaeologists, and historians of art.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

The most recommended part is its intro. Retracing to Marxian style of production of commodities, the author concerns more about its consumption and circulations in capitalism. The roughly three dimensions,namely the diversion, demand and knowledge, have been complemented to the new pattern of explaining the emergence of industrialization.

評分☆☆☆☆☆

'The cultural biography of things: commoditization as process' by Kopytoff.被認為是material anthropology的奠基之作，強調商品化作為一個分類過程的復雜性與多層次。被大眾文化形塑的市場標準價值會持續被個人或群體的審美偏好與singularization efforts挑戰，因此商品域的邊界是不穩定且可滲透的，物品的主體性也在商品化、去商品化和再商品化的遊移交接中建構豐富。不過物品的agency是一個很可疑的概念，它作為一個社會概念必然需要人類的mediation，另外品味的爭奪也涉及文化霸權的問題，且精細化商品類屬與市場交換的multi-spheres並沒有從根本上挑戰商品化作為道德瑕疵的意識形態。

讀完五十多頁的introduction，將商品的價值放到社會中考量，指齣其value最重要的是受到政治（tournament of values and calculated diversions that might lead to new paths）。思考深刻，贊！

評分☆☆☆☆☆

反復讀瞭前兩章，討論瞭價值的政治、商品化（一般化）和文化之於社會的作用，兩章對照著讀，能夠更好地理解Appadurai所說的"路徑與偏移"。Appadurai幾十頁的intro列舉諸多案例，有些真讓人一頭霧水，Kopytoff則寫得精妙而工整。國內有幾篇介紹的文章，這麼有意思又重要的書為什麼沒有中譯本？

Retracting to the Marxian framework of the politics of commodity production and departing from Simmel’s argument that exchange creates value and not the other way around, the edited essays in the Social life of Things shed light on the specific trajectory ...
