This book explores these meanings, and identifies some of the problems associated with them, as well as examining the role that values should play in cultural analysis. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe development of four, very different, conceptions of culture is traced from the nineteenth century onwards: a notion of aesthetic cultivation associated with Matthew Arnold; the evolutionary view of culture characteristic of nineteenth-century anthropology; the idea of diverse cultures characteristic of twentieth and twenty-first century anthropology; and a conception of culture as a process of situated meaning-making – found today across anthropology, sociology, and cultural studies. These conceptions of culture are interrogated, and a reformulation of the concept is sketched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to students and scholars across a variety of fields, including anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, and education. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Pivot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2020-08-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783030229849\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-030-22982-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 120\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47710518509708,"sku":"9783030229849","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783030229849.jpg?v=1776786780","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783030229849","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
