Abstract
In the course of this book, an integrated theoretical framework has been built for studying material style in a holistic, anthropological manner. The task of integrating diverse current approaches to style within one framework was begun by taking stock of many of the factors that can determine the content, diversity, origin, and transformation of a material style. Also, various theories that pertain to these different factors were reviewed. Two possibilities for integration at the level of high theory were explored using social-psychological and selectionist-historical perspectives. Together, these two perspectives give order to factors that determine material style at the levels of the individual, society, and the ecosystem. The concepts that are central to the ordering capabilities of these two frameworks include the self and its reactive and proactive components, the process of re-creation of the self, cultural and natural selection, the effects of cultural practices, the transmission of practices, the origins of novelty, and descent with modification.
