KEY CONCEPTS FOR THE STUDY OF CULTURE - VERA NÜ...

This book explores key concepts that students should become acquainted with at the beginning of
their studies. Its main aim is to explain central terms and categories for the analysis of
culture in a way that enables students to use them in their own research. The focus lies on
concepts that can not only generate innovative research perspectives on a wide range of
(sub)cultures but also provide insight into cultural practices and principles governing our
daily forms of life. The key concepts include identity  performativity  intersectionality 
globalization  cultural memory  the emotions and values  all of which we approach from a
variety of perspectives  ranging from cultural anthropology and cultural psychology to
philosophy  sociology and postcolonial theory. In addition  we introduce a few broader  vibrant
fields such as material culture and visual culture studies. The discussion of examples taken
from British and North American cultural history from the sixteenth century to the present
should highlight the usefulness of the key concepts that will help students to find their feet
and pursue their own inquiries in a highly promising field of study.
