Brandes, Uta, and Michael Erlhoff, eds. My Desk is My Castle
Exploring Personalisation Cultures. Birkhauser. 2011
Book ID: 90017
The desk is a place of work and of action, but it also serves as a place to exhibit personal things and preferences. It presents cultural and gender lifestyles manifested in and through objects as a huge theater where the desk becomes a stage on which comedies and dramas are played out: trashy, melancholic and wistful tales of adventure and home. This study includes desks in insurance companies, banks and administrative offices, call centers and design studios in eleven countries on all continents. A strange and fascinating study in personal space and identity.
320 pp., illus Pap.
