Everyone’s a Collector!

Olivier Godechot

SciencePo Working papers Main from HAL

Abstract: Luc Boltanski and Arnaud Esquerre invite us to rethink the social mechanisms that produce value and underline the important role collections play in the dynamics of inequalities characterising contemporary societies. By questioning the forms and stakes of commodification and price making in today's society, they show that inserting goods in a collection increases their value.
