Dans un contexte de mobilité croissante et de mondialisation de la société, se définir en tant qu'individu se complique. Il faut pouvoir à la fois présenter une définition de soi-même cohérente et singulière, et trouver sa place au sein d'un groupe aux frontières de plus en plus incertaines. Si chaque individu peut composer son espace intime comme il le souhaite, il ne le fait toutefois pas n'importe comment mais en tant qu'être social. L'auteur analyse de quelle manière nos contemporains disposent leurs objets dans l'espace domestique et comment ces objets orchestrent des passages d'un mode de vie à un autre. Les histoires d'objets aimés ou détestés constituent en effet un bric-à-brac de l'intime dans lequel, fouillant les armoires et les tiroirs, explorant les salons et les greniers, nous allons découvrir des petits riens tels que le chapelet en plastique de Valérie, les bouteilles d'eau vides de Sandra, le briquet jetable d'Antoine, la robe blanche de Sylvie, les mèches de cheveux de Gisèle, les bois de cerf de Bernard, la poupée de Paulette, les chandeliers de Marie-Anne ou les fossiles d'Henri.

"Ideas in Things explores apparently inconsequential objects in popular Victorian texts to make contact with their fugitive meanings. Developing an innovative approach to analyzing nineteenth-century fiction, Elaine Freedgood here reconnects the things readers unwittingly ingore to the stories they tell." "Building her case around objects from three well-known Victorian novels - the mahogany furniture in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre, the calico curtains in Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton, and "Negro head" tobacco in Charles Dickens's Great Expectations - Freedgood argues that these things are connected to histories that the novels barely acknowledge, generating darker meanings outside the novels' symbolic systems. A valuable contribution to the new field of object studies in the humanities, The Ideas in Things pushes readers' thinking about things beyond established concepts of commodity and fetish."--Jacket.
