The Meaning of Culture

Více o knize

Focusing on the social construction of meaning and reality, this book critiques the structural approach prevalent in postmodernism and contemporary cultural theories. It emphasizes micro-level processes and emotions, arguing that these elements are often overlooked in favor of broader cultural structures. By linking macro-level postmodern dynamics with micro-reality, the author proposes a new affective theory that addresses the complexities of cultural experiences in late-capitalistic societies. This work is particularly relevant for students and faculty in sociology and cultural studies.
