Culture Troubles : Politics and the Interpretation of Meaning Paperback / softback
by Patrick Chabal, Jean-Pascal Daloz
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Chabal and Daloz's argument is one based on an analysis of culture understood as a system of meanings rather than as values.
Hence, the authors offer a methodology that grounds political analysis in the interpretation of what 'makes sense' to the people concerned.
Their approach, which resists the tyranny of particularisms but instead proposes a different 'scientific' method, draws upon a wide range of political, sociological and anthropological sources.
The authors illustrate the analytical sharpness of this method with a comparative study of the state and political representation in three very different settings: France, Nigeria and Sweden.
