Materiality
ISBN: 9780822335306 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Yet, as the studies collected here show, the immaterial is not easily separated from the material.

The essays in Materiality explore varied manifestations of materiality from ancient times to the present. In assessing the fundamental role of materiality in shaping...
