How are love and emotion embodied in material form? Love Objects explores the emotional potency of things; addressing how objects can function as fetishes; symbols and representations; active participants in and mediators of our relationships; as well as tokens of affection; symbols of virility; triggers of nostalgia; replacements for lost loved ones; and symbols of lost places and times.Addressing both designed things with attitude and the wild things of material culture; Love Objects explores a wide range of objects; from 19th-century American portraits displaying mens passionate friendships to the devotional and political meanings of religious statues in 1920s Ireland.

The basic pieces included in the book can be combined into any number of cosplay outfits (as well as some "daily life" clothing). My daughter cosplays and was forever ordering - then needing to tailor to actually fit - her costumes. She says this book will save her time; expense and frustration in the future.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. This book is amazing. Very detailedBy LysThis book is amazing.
