Böcker av Marian H. Feldman

Examines the production and circulation of portable luxury goods throughout the Levant in the early Iron Age (1200-600 BCE). In particular, this book focuses on how societies in flux came together around the material effects of art and style, and their role in collective memory.

Examines the profound connection between art produced during this period and its social context, revealing inanimate objects as catalysts - or even participants - in human dynamics. This book provides a much broader consideration of the symbolic power of material culture and its centrality in the construction of human relations.
