Resumo

This chapter explores the emergence of "material culture studies" within archaeology and socio-cultural anthropology, particularly at their intersection. Rather than simply defining the field, Hicks excavates its conceptual foundations, tracing its development and highlighting the specific form the "cultural turn" took in British archaeology and anthropology during the 1980s and 1990s. He emphasizes the importance of examining the remains of the past in the present and for the present, arguing against a progressive narrative of paradigm shifts. The chapter delves into the historical trajectory of material culture studies, analyzing its theoretical underpinnings and its implications for understanding the relationship between material objects and culture.
