Agency of Objects in Shifting Time and Place

How do human-object power relationships change as they are enacted over time? What are different forms of human-object relationships at different temporal stages? Underpinned by Alfred Gell’s (1988) theory of the art nexus and incorporating sociality, we propose a model, triadic relations of agency, to answer these research questions.
