Once an object is removed from its original place, a new narrative commences. And, inherently linked to the removal of objects from their intended places come the subsequent issues of ownership, custodianship and the often times nebulous area of cultural appropriation. Reflecting on past collecting or looting of artefacts, many states are now attempting to repatriate their cultural treasures through legal mechanisms or via political negotiations. Some case of repatriation are considered successful – and other cases like the Parthenon… well... not yet successful.

In this podcast episode we are travelling to China - home to one of the oldest civilisations in the world. We will be discovering some of the meanings behind these decorations, how the vessels were made, how they were used and what that might tell us about Shang society.

About Amber
Currently studying for the Bachelor of Arts at La Trobe University, I am taking a major in Anthropology and a minor in Ancient Societies and Human Origins.
I have specific interests in the anthropology of material objects: namely textiles, clothing and adornment, and the anthropology of spatial design. Additionally, I am keenly interested in the anthropology of food and linked to this are my broad interests in globalisation, development, environment and trade.
Becoming an anthropologist brings together all of the things I am most passionate and curious about.
