- catalog abstract ""Culture has become a key concept throughout the social sciences, and in this book, Richardson engages with how it is variously interpreted, arguing that human experience is essentially defined by culture." "Most of the literature on culture is concerned with its why, this book is concerned with its how: how does it emerge and become manifest in human life and how is it experienced in the lives of individuals and collectives? The author contends that culture is unique to humans and emerges from the particular manner in which we are brought into contact with the world through socialization and acculturation: it is the material from which our sense of identity is constructed." "Richardson uses this perspective to explore the ways in which globalizing processes and technological progress are affecting our cultural identity, and whether we are seeing a fundamental change in how culture is formed and experienced." "This book expands upon current arguments and suggests new ways of studying culture. It will be required reading for students and researchers in critical theory, sociology, cultural studies and social anthropology."--Jacket.".
