| Title: | Main Title: When secondary is primary: on Halbzeug and other objects of continual re-evaluation |
| Description: | Abstract: This paper looks at artefacts which take the shape of semi-finished products (Halbzeug), items left half-finished for later use by others (or by oneself). As a consequence of these practices objects can actually be improved upon and gain value after they have been in use by others and before they are taken out of usage and become singularised as nostalgic or ritually loaded items. Based on my ethnographic field research with contemporary hunter-gatherers, I argue that, in contra-distinction to the now dominant conception, the objects in question are evaluated primarily because they have the property of being secondary This need not be a ritual re-evaluation since it is a more fundamental view of objects as generally pre-owned, as typically unfinished and as valuable for the fact that they can be ‘re-owned’ and reshaped at a later stage |
