我们的研究有助于理解物质文化在家庭中的作用。纵向案例研究的结果通过解释焦点对象的奇异化与其重新商品化之间发生的情况,扩展了科皮托夫的奇异化理论。我们揭示了将已经单一化的对象移入和移出实践、对象和空间网络的过程;识别在该网络中限制和增强单一对象代理的力量;并演示由焦点对象的移动引起的网络转换。这一扩展解释了消费者研究中的一些自相矛盾的发现:即使在流离失所的情况下,物品如何被授予代理权,何时可以更换不可替代的物品,以及为什么家庭有时会取代中央身份实践。
Our study contributes to understanding the role of material culture in families. Findings from a longitudinal case study extend Kopytoff’s theory of singularization by explaining what occurs between the singularization of a focal object and its recommodification. We uncover processes that move an already singularized object in and out of a network of practices, objects, and spaces; identify forces that constrain and empower a singularized object’s agency within that network; and demonstrate network transformations that result from the focal object’s movement. This extension explains some paradoxical findings in consumer research: how objects are granted agency even while displaced, when irreplaceable objects can be replaced, and why families sometimes displace central identity practices.
