From the pencil to the puppet to the drone--the humanities and the social sciences continue to ride a wave of interest in material culture and the world of things. Other Things explores this question by considering a wide assortment of objects--from beach glass to cell phones, sneakers to skyscrapers--that have fascinated a range of writers and artists, including Virginia Woolf, Man Ray, Spike Lee, and Don DeLillo.The book ranges across the literary, visual, and plastic arts to depict the curious lives of things. How should we understand the force and figure of that wave as it shapes different disciplines?
Combining history and Beginning with Achilles's Shield, then tracking the object/thing distinction as it appears in the work of Martin Heidegger and Jacques Lacan, Bill Brown ultimately focuses on the thingness disclosed by specific literary and artistic works.
