Theories, Technologies, Instrumentalities of Color: Anthropological and Historiographic Perspectives

by Barbara Saunders (Editor), Debi Roberson (Contributor), Ian Davies (Contributor)

Theories, Technologies, Instrumentalities of Color is the outcome of a workshop, held in Leuven, Belgium, in May 2000. The editors bring together contributions from philosophy, history, classics, psychology, and anthropology to discuss the production of theories, technologies and instrumentalities - the phenomeno-technical ecology - of color. Approaching the topic from a variety of backgrounds, the contributors problematise color and discuss the distinctions, concepts, assumptions, and assertibility, warrants taken for granted by "color."
