I've just begun this section (August 2012), and it will expand as my research continues.
- Miniatures in charity shops
- I'm studying what I might learn as an archaeologist by looking at the types of miniatures sold in charity shops.
- Gothic miniatures
- Figurines play an important part in "goth" lifestyles.
- Artists and miniaturisation
- A number of artists, especially those using three-dimensional media and photography, use mass-produced miniatures in their work.
- Men's toys
- Model railways, miniature vehicles and war games are just three examples of male-dominated activities where miniatures play essential roles.
- Women's toys
- Female-dominated areas of miniaturisation include dolls' houses, dolls, miniature villages and angels.
- Erotic miniatures
- Demonstrating that small things can have big meanings, miniaturisation allows the erotic imagination to run riot.
