Napoleonic Objects and their Afterlives : Art, Culture and Heritage, 1821-present
Two centuries after Napoleon Bonaparte’s death, this edited volume brings together a diverse group of historians, art historians, and museum professionals to critically examine the enduring power of visual and material culture in the making of Napoleonic memory.While most discussions surrounding the legendary figure explore his impact on legislative, political, or military reform, this innovative volume explores the global dimensions of the trade in Napoleonic collectibles, art, and relics over time. Representing new avenues of research and scholarship, Napoleonic Objects and their Afterlives investigates the material objects and cultural forms that Napoleon inspired through a range of themes.These include art collecting, the circulation and display of objects, political and imperial symbolism, and the flexibility and ambiguity of Napoleon’s enduring legacy.The essays examine how and why, despite his contentious role in contemporary memory, Napoleon continues to escape much historical and popular censure.They explore the ways people have connected with the idea of him: on stage and screen; in museums and galleries; and most intimately of all, by gathering items said to have belonged to him, right down to his toothbrush and locks of his hair. Napoleonic items can be official or personal, serious or comical, luxury or disposable, yet little work has been done to bring together these diverse cultural histories into conversation with one another.With its broad, multi-disciplinary approach, including perspectives from art history, film studies, cultural history, and museum curation, the book provides a deep critical insight into the cult of personality surrounding Napoleon and its effect on our understanding of celebrity culture today and in the future. Includes an additional foreword by Napoleon’s biographer, Ruth Scurr, author of In Gardens and Shadows (2021).

Objects in the Archives : Modern Material Culture and Heritage in the North
Situated on an intersection between Material Culture Studies, History and Museum and Archival Studies, this book investigates the material world of the Icelandic population in the late Modern Era. Utilizing the great wealth of inventories of household goods stored at The National Archives of Iceland in conjunction with material objects, the book highlights new paths and insights into understanding people’s possessions and material relations, and the entwined biographies of people and things.It shows how people shaped their own lives by means of things and how these material relations are “archived” and represented in heritage and museum spaces.The book is divided into two parts that explore how material culture contributes to history, the relationship between things and text, and the practice of collecting things and address the process of assembly, or how things gather.Micro and macro methods of investigation tease out new approaches to debates around human–thing relationships, acknowledging ideas about material agency and social significance and that the human–material relation is reciprocal. This volume will appeal to students and researchers within the field of archaeology, material culture studies, museum studies, heritage, and the history of material culture.

How can one forget culture and heritage?
One can forget culture and heritage by not actively engaging with it, by being disconnected from one's roots and community, and by prioritizing other aspects of life over preserving and celebrating one's cultural identity. This can happen through assimilation into a different culture, lack of exposure to one's own cultural traditions and practices, and a lack of interest in learning about one's heritage. Additionally, societal pressures and discrimination can also contribute to the erasure of one's culture and heritage.

Material Objects
This Element is a survey of central topics in the metaphysics of material objects.The topics are grouped into four problem spaces. The first concerns how an object's parts are related to the object's existence and to the object's nature, or essence.The second concerns how an object persists through time, how an object is located in spacetime, and how an object changes.The third concerns paradoxes about objects, including paradoxes of coincidence, paradoxes of fission, and the problem of the many.The fourth concerns views with radical consequences regarding the existence of composite material objects, including mereological nihilism, ontological anti-realism, and deflationism.

What are legal objects?
Legal objects refer to the things or entities that are the subject of legal rights and duties. These can include physical objects like property or possessions, as well as intangible things like intellectual property or contractual rights. Legal objects are essential in defining the scope of legal relationships and obligations between parties, and they are often protected and regulated by laws and regulations.

Can objects be dead?
No, objects cannot be dead because they were never alive in the first place. The concept of being alive or dead applies to living organisms, which have the ability to grow, reproduce, and respond to their environment. Objects, on the other hand, are inanimate and do not possess the characteristics of living things. Therefore, it is not accurate to describe objects as being dead.
