By: Butler, Beverley.
Subject(s): 'Everyday life', landscape, material culture, museology, praxis of resistance, roads protests In: Journal of Material Culture 1(3)Summary: This paper, 'The tree, the Tower and the Shaman', is a bricolage of omment, analysis, critique, oral testimony and myth, the 'subject' of which is the material culture of one specific urban landscape-Claremont Road. My text explores the ways in which a study of material culture offers us an insight into the cultures of resistance that inhabited this particular space in protest against the Brotish National Roads Programme, and similarly, the implications of these findings for subsequent critiques of museology, space and 'everyday life'.| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode |
