Description
Household Gods is a fascinating exploration of the objects that inhabit our homes and the deep connections we form with them. Jon Thurley examines how everyday items—from furniture to cookware to decorative pieces—become embedded in our daily routines, memories, and sense of self.
Through historical analysis and contemporary observation, Thurley investigates why certain household objects hold such profound significance in human life. The book delves into the relationship between material culture and personal identity, exploring how the spaces we inhabit and the things we own reflect and influence who we are.
This thought-provoking work challenges readers to reconsider the ordinary objects surrounding them, revealing the layers of meaning, history, and emotion embedded within our homes. Perfect for anyone interested in material culture, domestic history, or the philosophy of everyday life.
