The Meaning of Culture

More about the book

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.
