Het ultieme boek voor millennials
Dapper boek over eigen keuzes durven maken in je leven
This open access book provides thought-provoking anthropology grounded in comparative ethnography. The theory captures the current historical moment, the long-term trends that led us here, and the prospects for a humane future. The experience of complexity characterizing a globalized information society triggers simplexes. These unidimensional responses instrumental in bringing about a predictable effect are altering our ways of communicating and the technologies we design. In Part I, a ‘speciated’ history, injected with the anthropology of Bateson and Gluckman, describes the semantic and experiential impoverishment of the lifeworld. After going through the affects of distrust (the neoli...

Een derde van de kleren in je kleerkast draag je nooit. Een ander derde draag je zelden. Negen op de tien kleren heb je een jaar lang niet aangeraakt. Je gooit meer kleren weg dan eender welke andere Europese consument en toch blijf je nieuwe kleren kopen. Omdat je het gevoel hebt dat je nieuwe kleren nodig hebt. Omdat je elke ochtend denkt dat je niets hebt om aan te trekken. Dat wil de mode-industrie je immers doen geloven. Merken introduceren gemiddeld om de zes weken - sommige zelfs elke dag! - een nieuwe collectie. Als tegenreactie hierop besloot journalist Sarah Vandoorne om zes weken lang slechts zes kledingstukken te dragen. Wat begon als een ludieke actie groeide uit tot een jarenla...
