| Description: | Michel de Certeau's seminal work, "The Practice of Everyday Life", is one of the most cited works in Sociology, Geography and Cultural Studies. Providing an account of de Certeau's work and its relation to the field of cultural studies, this book explores those aspects of de Certeau's work that both challenge and re-imagine cultural studies. Michel de Certeau is becoming increasingly recognised as a cultural theorist whose methodologies could rival those of Foucault. In this engaging book, Ben Highmore provides a stimulating account of Michel de Certeau''s work and its relation to the field of cultural studies. The book explores those aspects of de Certeau''s work that both challenge and re-imagine cultural studies, highlighting the potential this work has for supplying a critical epistemology and a practical ethics for the study of culture within the arts and humanities more generally. Michel de Certeau: Analysing Culture provides an ideal introduction to the work of this extraordinary and important thinker. |
