In this project, I explore how objects are re-valued through interpersonal connectivity in grief. I consider how capitalist logics prescribe material relationships through commodity fetishism and alienated labor, through the lens of material culture and material behavior theory. I argue that material memory practices, used in grief, are quotidian subversions of the logics of consumerism under capitalism and its’ prescription of human-material relationships. This subversion is made possible through the understanding of capitalism as hegemonic system. This argument is informed by a content-analysis study of photos and photo descriptions that I collected from my community of our material grief practices.
