For any of you folks out there interested in questions about materiality (things, stuff, objects--and what they "do"), check out the current online seminar at the OAC, which features a paper by Martin Holbraad (co-editor of the 2006 book "Thinking Through Things). The is open until January 29, and is already well underway with comments and replies.
The OAC has put together some pretty interesting stuff of late--and I think these online seminars are coming together in really fascinating way. I am about 1/2 through Holbraad's paper, and need to get in there ASAP to get in my 2 cents.
