• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

It is a commonplace to describe epochs in terms of feelings, moods and passions: the 1960s, we are told, swing; the 1950s are cool, austere, and conformist; the 1980s were a greedy decade.

Rezensionen

"Highmore demonstrates a dynamic way to marry theoretical insights with diligent empirical inquiry. Through the empirical chapters, Highmore's theory comes alive, and becomes felt, in the way cultural feelings are meant to be." - Danielle Hanley, EuropeNow: a journal of research & art
