Culture: Reinventing the Social Science (Inglese)

This introduction to the concept of culture examines the ways we approach social inquiry, and argues that cultural theory can help to overcome problems in disciplinary and interdisciplinary analysis. Smith (social sciences, Open University) explores how changes in the meaning of “culture” have pinpointed key shifts in the way we research society. He draws on contemporary sociology, psychology, politics, geography, and criminology to consider the ways in which cultural transformation has changed the landscape of social research.
