Friends of Interpretable Objects
Miguel Tamen
Tamen shows how inanimate objects take on life through interpretation—notably as they are collected and housed in museums. He claims that an object becomes interpretable only in the context of a “society of friends.” Thus, he suggests, our tendency as humans to interpret the phenomenal world gives objects both a life and a society.
