Michel de Certeau

Cultural Theorist

Edición de la obra Michel de Certeau

"Michel de Certeau is often considered to be the pre-eminent theorist of everyday life. This book provides an unrivalled critical introduction to his work and influence. It examines his key ideas and asks how should we try to understand him in relation to theories of modern culture and society?" "Ian Buchanan demonstrates the influence of Lacan, Merleau-Ponty and Greimas on the work of de Certeau. The theoretical underpinnings of de Certeau's crucial notions of 'strategy', 'tactics', 'place' and 'space' are clearly described. The book argues that de Certeau died before developing the full importance of his work for the study of culture, and, convincingly, it tries to complete or imagine the directions that his work would have taken, had he lived." "This book will be of major interest to students of sociology and cultural studies."--BOOK JACKET.
