I agree, I don't share much about my private life either and I quite like material things and trying to be creative - it's an important part of how we negotiate the world. I think my own fascination with material culture is what makes her ideas so interesting to me.niddetissushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675473136978180192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953523469625493833.post-90778630695912920262014-03-22T13:48:46.580+01:002014-03-22T13:48:46.580+01:00sorry I don't know how that "few" go...sorry I don't know how that "few" got in the middle there.

Personally I don't write about those aspects of my life though, because that is personal, you know? I have this chronic few fear of oversharing. It's feels safer and definitely easier to write about things than thoughts :)<br />Anyway, it sounds like a book worth checking out. :)Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03156106727490224625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953523469625493833.post-1849027991834996282014-03-06T18:26:28.427+01:002014-03-06T18:26:28.427+01:00Thanks for commenting!

And I love material and well-crafted objects, so I'm not 'anti-object'. Another interesting thing is how Freud and Hegel, etc. talk about objectifying other people (sexual objectification, for example). Our relationship to objects is so strong that we use the word to talk about how we sometimes relate to other people! I find the whole thing fascinating, obviously! :)niddetissushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675473136978180192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953523469625493833.post-27837569008889253192014-03-05T21:05:54.378+01:002014-03-05T21:05:54.378+01:00Interesting quote. :D She definitely has a point, ...Interesting quote. :D She definitely has a point, although I'd like to believe that we don't define ourselves and our lives by objects all of the time. At least I try to define myself also by my deeds (although you could argue those are also object bound, I guess), thoughts, experiences and, especially, relationships. Then again, experiences can definitely fall under the heading of consumerism.Alessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16605755512224178329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953523469625493833.post-31208090754241153022014-03-05T19:48:36.951+01:002014-03-05T19:48:36.951+01:00Thanks, that's pretty cool!

The quotation was completely lost on me, really. I understand the words separately but they don´t make sense together. That´s probably too much reading about facings, seams, topstitching and understitching and too little of what I should be reading: books and newspapers. See? everyone can benefit from this post!<br />Sending you lots of love!Merche Martinezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661826143945463474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4953523469625493833.post-43482760320625886542014-03-02T16:50:07.334+01:002014-03-02T16:50:07.334+01:00Wow, that's a really interesting quote with a ...Wow, that's a really interesting quote with a lot going on. Thanks for sharing! These ideas do seem really relevant today, but they're kind of sad to think about. We're all trying to establish our own permanent relevance, but that's just not possible, and our efforts seem to be chipping away at our privacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
