“I knew something went horribly wrong,” Charlene McCarthy told WFLA. McCarthy owns VisCom, a company that regularly provides interpreters for the county. “It was horribly unnerving for me to watch that, knowing I could provide a qualified, certified interpreter,” she fumed. Greene’s family told WFLA he was just doing what the county asked of him. “He can’t expect to communicate something he doesn’t know,” Greene’s father told the station.

All objects signify; some signify more expressively than others. As the list of objects studied over the course of time in a single university seminar attests, the possibilities are virtually limitless-especially considering that no two individuals will read a given object in the same way.
similarly to the essays multiple people over many generations have analyzed the quilt. Meaning, material culture can essentially be made at any level or generation and define or unify that time period in a way as portrayed in my secondary reading of material culture on the oxford page.

All objects signify; some signify more expressively than others.
Some objects simply have more to interpret. For example both a pencil and an iPhone hold significance as a method of communication. The iPhone however can be analyzed in more levels than the pencil due to its complexity.
-
The point is to begin to recognize the ways in which the object has created its effect.
The objects must be analyzed more than just by its physical descriptions, but the analysis should flow more into how the object may have been used or valued in the time period it was from.
-
Try to avoid foreclosing interpretive
The author discourages us from making interpretive possibilities as this hinders our ability to properly describe objects and use our imaginations to make curious interpretations of the object.
-
Material culture, in this view of it, is consequently less an explanatory thanan exploratory practice.
Rather than having definitive way of describing something that can not be changed, Material Culture is more open to interpretation and new understandings of people over time.
-
Indeed, their range-together they cover over 150 years of American history, interpreting a rich variety of objects and materials-renders these essays of unusual value for teachers of material culture surveys who wish to introduce their students both to the history of material culture per se and to a non-navely positivist interpretive methodology at one and the same time. But the principal focus of this collection is on applied methodology.
The text portrays multiple years of analysis and interpretations of multiple object. The point of the text is to see the different approaches researchers have had to better understand objects.
-
The method as thus configured works because it works. Neither its constitutive stages nor the sequence itself are ends in themselves, but rather means to the end of helping students “become aware of the historical evidence around them.” The method works because of the deceptively straightforward
The analysis process is simple as it does not give very deep instructions to analyze objects. Allowing it to be applied in a way comfortable by the analyzer while giving the same end result of an interpretive analysis.
-
we do not analyze objects; we analyze our descriptions of objects
analyzing one's description of the object allows further generations an insight into our lifestyle and thinking. In the instance of the quilt we can see panels from multiple generations and as we go through the years each new generation seems to take a new view point on it.

The study of material culture centers upon objects, their properties, and the materials that they are made of, and the ways in which these material facets are central to an understanding of culture and social relations.
This seems like a good base definition for material culture.
-
Instead, culture and society are seen as being created and reproduced by the ways in which people make, design, and interact with objects.
Meaning, material culture can essentially be made at any level or generation and define or unify that time period in a way.
-
Understandings of material culture have been central to anthropology since its inception; during the late 19th and early 20th century anthropologists primarily collected material culture (Kroeber, Boas) that was displayed in museums in Europe and North America. I
Museums are probably the biggest displays of material culture allowing multiple time periods to be unified in one area.

"Clothing for the Emancipated Man."
"Clothing for the Emancipated Man", was clearly referring to men who had broken from societies norms. Maybe this was about men who supported gender equality. It seems to be demeaning them by making them look, less manly?
