Abstract

Object-Based Learning provides a concise overview of some of the most important approaches to material culture and object analysis in plain and easily understandable language, that is equally accessible to undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as lecturers. The textbook is organised in a clear and easy-to-follow way, each chapter is filled with practical case studies, exercises and several diagrams to illustrate important arguments and approaches. The succinct and practically focused discussion of the main issues relating to exhibiting objects and curatorial practice, brings together diverse but complementary topics such as the history of collecting, understanding audiences, accessibility, digital media, technologies and ethics. Each chapter includes learning objectives, questions and exercise boxes, case studies and further readings and resources.
