{"product_id":"culture-as-praxis","title":"Culture as Praxis","description":"In this major work, Zygmunt Bauman seeks to classify the meanings of culture.  He distinguishes between culture as a concept, culture as a structure and culture as praxis and analyzes the different ways in which culture has been used in each of these settings. For Bauman, culture is a living, changing aspect of human interaction which must be understood and studied as a universal of human life. At the heart of his approach is the proposition that culture is inherently ambivalent.\n\u003cp\u003eWith a major new introduction to this new edition, this classic work emerges as a crucial link in the development of Bauman′s thought.  By his own admission, it was the first of his books to grope towards a new kind of social theory, in contrast to the false certainties and gross theorems that dominated much of the post-war period. This is Bauman at his best, at his most subtle and his most searching.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54244013244760,"sku":"9780761959885","price":262.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780761959885.jpg?v=1777709724","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/culture-as-praxis","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
