Book Review: Still waiting
Summary: 3 Stars
I have received two copies of this book, possibly by my own mistake, but am still waiting for the refund after I sent back the extra copy. If it weren't for this delay, the transaction went smoothly.
Summary of The Practice of Everyday Life
Michel de Certeau considers the uses to which social representation and modes of social behavior are put by individuals and groups, describing the tactics available to the common man for reclaiming his own autonomy from the all-pervasive forces of commerce, politics, and culture. In exploring the public meaning of ingeniously defended private meanings, de Certeau draws brilliantly on an immense theoretical literature in analytic philosophy, linguistics, sociology, semiology, and anthropology--to speak of an apposite use of imaginative literature.General Books
