Nicole Seymour describes how glitter's consumption and status have shifted across centuries-from ancient cosmetic to queer activist tool, environmental pollutant to biodegradable accessory-along with its composition, which has variously included insects, glass, rocks, salt, sugar, plastic, and cellulose. Through a variety of examples, from glitterbombing to glitter beer, Seymour shows how this substance reflects the entanglements of consumerism, emotion, environmentalism, and gender\/sexual identity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eObject Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in \u003ci\u003eThe Atlantic\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501373763\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184","brand":"Nicole Seymour","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41839069724853,"sku":"9781501373763","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ea910594-f205-442f-b526-5d46a16870e4.jpg?v=1646729642","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/glitter-9781501373763","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
