The meanings of hair are deep, powerful, and so strongly embedded in cultural conditioning that they are usually understood unconsciously (and all the more strongly for that). \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn untangling its myriad meanings, Scott Lowe reveals just how little we control our hair, no matter the style: each and every passer-by decides on its significance anew. From Hittites to hippies and Pentecostals to porn stars, \u003ci\u003eHair\u003c\/i\u003e combs through a ubiquitous personal yet public object, a charged and carefully managed dead thing. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781628922868\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scott Lowe","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £5.30","offer_id":47962400063665,"sku":"SB-1628922869-C3","price":5.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1628922869.jpg?v=1790136052","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/hair-object-lessons","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
