The hoarders : material deviance in modern American culture / Material deviance in modern American culture Scott Herring. - Chicago : University of Chicago Press, (c)2014. - 1 online resource (xii, 185 pages) : illustrations
Includes bibliographies and index.
Introduction -- Collyer curiosa -- Pathological collectibles -- Clutterology -- Old rubbish.
The verb "declutter" has not yet made it into the Oxford English Dictionary, but its ever-increasing usage suggests that it's only a matter of time. Articles containing tips and tricks on how to get organized cover magazine pages and pop up in TV programs and commercials, while clutter professionals and specialists referred to as "clutterologists" are just a phone call away. Everywhere the sentiment is the same: clutter is bad. In The Hoarders, Scott Herring provides an in-depth examination of how modern hoarders came into being, from their onset in the late 1930s to the present day.
