More about the book
Exploring the complexities of taste, this book delves into how our preferences shape our lives and are influenced by social and economic factors. It examines whether taste evolves with age or is influenced by external factors like social media. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's work, it discusses four key methodologies—semiotics, psychoanalytic theory, sociological theory, and Marxist theory—applying them to diverse topics such as yogurt, Celine Dion, and smartphones. Readers will gain insights into the determinants of taste and learn analytical frameworks for understanding it.
