À propos de ce produit

Product Information

Elizabeth Emma Ferry traces the movement of minerals as they circulate from Mexican mines to markets, museums, and private collections on both sides of the US-Mexico border. She describes how and why these byproducts of ore mining come to be valued by people in various walks of life as scientific specimens, religious offerings, works of art, and luxury collectibles. The story of mineral exploration and trade defines a variegated transnational space, shedding new light on the complex relationship between these two countries and on the process of making value itself.

Reviews

"Ferry is primarily concerned with three fields in which minerals are valued: ore mining, mineral collecting, and mineralogy. As any respectable ethnographer, she aims to understand the intimate bond between the human and the object (in this case, the mineral) and how meaning is attached to it, value created, and value given or taken away... [A] jewel to those interested in ore mining, mineral collecting and mineralogy, or the anthropology of value." --American Ethnologist, An exciting new contribution to sociocultural anthropology, one that is strongly ethnographic and richly analyzed.... Will make a major and important contribution to the literature on how value is created., An outstanding ethnographic account of the extraction and international circulation of mineral specimens that is sure to be of interest to a broad readership., "An exciting new contribution to sociocultural anthropology, one that is strongly ethnographic and richly analyzed.... Will make a major and important contribution to the literature on how value is created." Les W. Field, University of New Mexico "An outstanding ethnographic account of the extraction and international circulation of mineral specimens that is sure to be of interest to a broad readership." Andrew Walsh, University of Western Ontario, "What makes things valuable? In this imaginative study of mineral mining and collecting, Elizabeth Ferry takes us from an incidental economy in central Mexico to the high reaches of scientific and aesthetic collecting in the United States. In the first, minerals are ancillary finds in the search for ores; in the second, minerals are expensive markers of taste and erudition. In the first, a miner brings minerals to his doctor's secretary to "smooth the way," or he places them on an altar to the saints. In the second, a dealer makes his minerals "pristine" by erasing all traces of their procurement and photographing them as if floating on air. Between the two, value is remade in the production and performance of difference. There is something to learn here for all students and scholars of value, commodities, and the traffic across nations." -Anna Tsing, author of Friction: An Ethnography of Global Connection, What makes things valuable?
