Objects and wellbeing
Pye explores the many ways in which people may value and enjoy objects,
and the various ways in which they are explored and appreciated. She also
discusses the effect of multiple values on conservation choices, and ways in
which conservators may make this enjoyment of objects more accessible to
others. She shows that objects may prompt stories – of the people who owned
them, or historical events – and how these stories may affect the conservation
process. The paper shows that objects should not be frozen into inactivity but
should be enabled to continue providing enjoyment on many different levels.
