Culture is a concept that has remained on the top of the agenda within the social sciences for two decades. It incites controversy and debate and always appears fresh. This book, updated throughout and with new sections on visual culture, urban culture and subcultures, argues that to understand the concept we need to locate it within traditions of thought and appreciate its political and ideological bases. The book looks at the concept of culture in the context of idealism and materialism, examining its relation to the notion of social structure and assessing its once assumed monopoly within literary study. Culture remains stimulating throughout. A standard reference text for students on sociology and cultural studies courses, this second concise and student-friendly edition offers an overview over the sociology of culture in an accessible format.
This book represents part of an ongoing effort to understand the rules, practices, agencies and agents which shape and change the social construction of pedagogic discourse. It draws together and re-examines the findings of the author's earlier work.
Grazie all'accurata documentazione di un'intera esperienza formativa con adulti/educatori, l'Autore immerge il lettore nel complesso reticolo narrativo di un percorso improntato al metodo maieutico per consentirgli di seguirne il clima, la problematicità, le evoluzioni e analizzarne, al contempo, i forti costrutti teorici che lo sorreggono. Una traccia originale che offre spunti, suggerimenti, occasioni di riflessioni a quanti, (formatori, animatori, insegnanti, psicologi ...) volessero riproporre, in modo personale e creativo, una metodologia formativa tesa a far sbocciare le potenzialità di ogni singolo individuo. L'apprendimento per scoperta, la ricerca-azione, la soluzione dei problemi, il lavoro di gruppo, il gioco di ruolo sono solo alcune delle proposte metodologiche offerte.
