A close and comprehensive understanding of language as the basic form of the life-world provides the cues necessary to show correctly the complementary relation between anthropology and history.

Moving beyond studies of representations and images of the body, Lowe focuses on the intersection of body practices, language, and... In "The Body in Late-Capitalist USA," Donald M. Lowe explores the varied social practices that code and construct the body. Arguing that our bodily li...

ISBN: 9780823226689 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Can love really be considered another form of technology? Dominic Pettman says it can--although not before carefully redefining technology as a cultural challenge to what we mean by the "human" in the information age. Using the writings of such important thinkers as Giorgio Agamben, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Bernard Stiegler as a springboard, Pettman explores the "techtonic" movements of contemporary culture, specifically in relation to the language of eros.

If art is seen from both the center and the periphery of the art world, suggests the author, the viewer's questions...
