Progress Tutorial

Really helpful to be able to talk about my research that I've gathered so far and to get some more ideas. I need to have more Chapters so far I only had three but Pete said to probably double that. This actually makes me feel better so that I can break down the topics further. 

Issues discussed at the tutorial: 

- Difference between collecting and hoarding. 

- Collecting psychology - Where does the need come from? Survival - Useful materials and resources - Make do and mend. 

- History - cave men collecting berries - elite 

- Collector of culture - Status - Wealth and intellect

- Museums - Repontary 

- Today (contemporary) 

- Attachment to objects (emotional) 

- Value of objects - Hoarding

- Abundance - Cheap - Mass production - Things produced to collect - McDonalds - Technology that allows us to do this mass production. 

- Psychology - Obtectum sexuaium/ commercial - Fetishism - Serial Killers

- Toys - Childhood - Recapturing

- Novelty 

Student Actions: 

- Extend Chapters 

- Start writing.
