About the conference
Since its beginnings, material culture has had the attention of researchers within humanities and social sciences. Nevertheless, the interest in material culture has only been partial and received little attention. Only in the last few decades the acknowledgement that it is not only people who create/make things but that things make people as well, has brought material culture to the fore of humanities and social sciences. This has led to awareness that material culture forms a fundamental, constitutive part of societies and social relations. International, interdisciplinary conference aims to encourage awareness of importance of material culture studies and materiality and to overcome and expand institutional frameworks.
Organizers
The conference Material culture: How things make people was designed in co-operation of Faculty of Arts, University of Ljubljana (Department of Ethnology and Cultural Anthropology, Department of Sociology) and Research centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts. Its primary aim is to open and widen discussions and exchange of the knowledge associated with material culture studies in Slovenia and elsewhere.

O konferenci
Z materialno kulturo oziroma predmeti se družboslovje in humanistika ukvarjata že od svojih začetkov, a vendarle je bilo zanimanje za materialni kulturno večinoma parcialno ter deležno relativno malo pozornosti. Materialna kultura je stopila v središče družboslovnega in humanističnega zanimanja predvsem v zadnjih desetletjih - s spoznanjem, da ne velja le, da ljudje ustvarjajo stvari, ampak da prav tako tudi stvari oblikujejo ljudi ter da so predmeti temeljni, konstitutivni del družbe in družbenih odnosov. Mednarodna interdisciplinarna konferenca želi poudariti zavedanje o pomembnosti raziskav materialne kulture in materialnosti ter tako preseči in razširiti institucionalne okvire.
Organizatorji
Konferenca Materialna kultura: Kako stvari ustvarjajo ljudi je nastala v sodelovanju Filozofske fakultete Univerze v Ljubljani (Oddelek za etnologijo in kulturno antropologijo in Oddelek za sociologijo) in Znanstvenoraziskovalnega centra Slovenske akademije znanosti in umetnosti (ZRC SAZU). Osnovni cilj konference je odpreti in razširiti razpravo ter izmenjavo spoznanj, povezanih z raziskovanjem materialne kulture v Sloveniji in drugod.
