Daniel Miller (anthropologist)
Daniel Miller (born 1954) is an anthropologist most closely associated with studies of our relationships to things and the consequences of consumption. His theoretical work was first developed in Material Culture and Mass Consumption and is summarized more recently in his book Stuff. This is concerned to transcend the usual dualism between subject and object and to study how social relations are created through consumption as an activity.

The treasure of our tongue, to what strange shores
This gaine of our best glorie shal be sent,

What worlds in th’yet unformed Occident
May come refin’d with th’accents that are ours?”
