SUMMARY:Author's Talk -  Revolutionary Things: Material Culture and Politics in the Late-Eighteenth Century Atlantic World
DESCRIPTION:Ashli White\, professor of history at the University of Miami\, explores the circulation of material culture during the American\, French\, and Haitian revolutions and argues that radical ideals in the eighteenth century were contested through objects as well as in texts. In this lecture on her new book\, Dr. White considers how revolutionary things brought people into contact with these transformative political movements in visceral\, multiple\, and provocative ways. Focusing on a range of objects—ceramics and furniture\, garments and accessories\, prints\, maps and public amusements—Dr. White shows how material culture held political meaning for diverse populations. Enslaved and free\, women and men\, poor and elite—all turned to things to realize their varied and sometimes competing visions of revolutionary change. \nRegistration is requested.
