Il volume si interroga sulla vita delle cose, e facendo dialogare ambiti, sguardi e pratiche differenti, descrive il ruolo che esse svolgono nella quotidianità delle esistenze umane e nelle relazioni sociali.
Nella prima parte studiosi di differenti discipline etnologi, filosofi, semiologi, sociologi, storici del design illustrano il concetto di “biografia degli oggetti” attraverso riflessioni e analisi teoriche; nella seconda numerosi designer che hanno partecipato alla mostra “Storie di cose”, tenutasi a Bolzano nell’autunno 2007, di cui viene presentata la documentazione scritta e fotografica – intrecciano le loro storie personali con quelle dei loro oggetti, a testimonianza del concreto rapporto tra il mondo delle persone e quello delle cose.
