Lineages and Advancements in Material Culture Studies

This volume comprises a curated conversation between members of the Material Culture Section of University College London Anthropology. In laying out the state of play in the field, it challenges how the anthropology of material culture is being done and argues for new directions of enquiry and new methods of investigation. The contributors consider the ramifications of specific research methods and explore new methodological frameworks to address areas of human experience that require a new analytical approach. The case studies draw from a range of contexts, including digital objects, infrastructure, data, extraterrestriality, ethnographic curation, and medical materiality. They include timely reappraisals of now-classical analytical models that have shaped the way we understand the object, the discipline, knowledge formation, and the artefact.

Timothy Carroll is principal research fellow in the Department of Anthropology at University College London, UK.

Antonia Walford is lecturer in Digital Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology at University College London, UK.

Shireen Walton is lecturer in Anthropology in the Department of Anthropology at Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.

Victor Buchli is professor of material culture at UCL and works on the material culture of Low Earth Orbit, architecture, domesticity, the archaeology of the recent past, and critical understandings of materiality and new technologies. Currently, he is principle investigator of the five-year European Research Council (ERC) funded research project, ETHNO-ISS: An Ethnography of an Extra-terrestrial Society: the International Space Station (ERC Advanced Grant, no. 833135). His previous books include An Archaeology of the Immaterial (2015); An Anthropology of Architecture (2013); An Archaeology of Socialism (1999); and, with Gavin Lucas, Archaeologies of the Contemporary Past (2001). He has also edited The Material Culture Reader (2002), Material Culture: Critical Concepts in the Social Sciences for the Major Works Series (2004); and, with C. Alexander and C. Humphrey, Urban life in Post Soviet Asia (2007).

Timothy Carroll is a principal research fellow and a UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellow in Anthropology at UCL. His research focuses on the role of material within the religious practice of Eastern Orthodox Christians, and the relationship between the body as a cultural artefact and the wider material ecology. His research works across religion, art, medicine, and ecological contexts. He is the author of Orthodox Christian Material Culture: Of People and Things in the Making of Heaven (2018), co-author of A Return to the Object: Alfred Gell, Art and Agency (2021), and co-editor of Medical Materialities: Toward a Material Culture of Medical Anthropology (2019) and Material Culture of Failure: When Things Do Wrong (2017).

Ludovic Coupaye is associate professor of anthropology at UCL and professor of history and anthropology of Pacific Arts at the cole du Louvre, Paris. His research focuses and combines different strands of research, distributed over four interrelated topics: material and visual culture in Oceania; art and aesthetics among the Abuls-speaking communities (Abelam) of East Sepik Province; anthropology of techniques, skills and materiality; and anthropology of technology and Modernity. His most recent strand of research deals with the wider question of the relationships between technology and society, from the angle of technical activities, technical objects, and technical systems. He is the author of a monograph, Growing Artefacts, Displaying Relationships: Yams, Art and Technology amongst the Nyamikum Abelam of Papua New Guinea (2013), and co-edited a special issue in the journal Oceania on Interweaving of Vital and Technical Processes in Oceania.
