Drawing on the work of Michel Foucault, the book examines how ceramics have been used to construct and maintain social hierarchies, to control and discipline bodies, and to produce and disseminate knowledge. The book also explores the ways in which ceramics can be used to resist and challenge power structures.
Chapter 1: The Politics of Display
The first chapter of the book examines the politics of display, arguing that the way in which ceramics are displayed can have a significant impact on their meaning and significance. The chapter discusses the different ways in which ceramics have been displayed throughout history, from the lavish displays of the wealthy to the more modest displays of the poor. The chapter also examines the role of museums in shaping our understanding of ceramics.
Chapter 2: The Body and Ceramics
The second chapter of the book examines the relationship between the body and ceramics, arguing that ceramics can be used to control and discipline bodies. The chapter discusses the different ways in which ceramics have been used to shape the body, from the use of corsets to the use of prosthetics. The chapter also examines the ways in which ceramics can be used to resist and challenge body norms.
Chapter 3: Ceramics and Knowledge
The third chapter of the book examines the relationship between ceramics and knowledge, arguing that ceramics can be used to produce and disseminate knowledge. The chapter discusses the different ways in which ceramics have been used to teach and learn, from the use of pottery shards to the use of ceramic textbooks. The chapter also examines the ways in which ceramics can be used to challenge and subvert dominant knowledge systems.
Chapter 4: Ceramics and Resistance
The fourth chapter of the book examines the ways in which ceramics can be used to resist and challenge power structures. The chapter discusses the different ways in which ceramics have been used to protest injustice, from the use of ceramic tiles to the use of ceramic sculptures. The chapter also examines the ways in which ceramics can be used to build community and solidarity.
The book concludes by arguing that ceramics are not merely decorative objects but rather powerful tools that can be used to shape our understanding of the world. The book calls for a more critical understanding of ceramics, one that takes into account their political dimensions.
