Description
A concise introduction to cultural history, this book explores the key steps in its historical development from 1850 to the present. It delves into various approaches to the field, including intellectual history, mentalities, symbols and representations, languages and discourses.
The study of cultural history sheds light on a range of topics, such as gender, family and sexuality, the body, senses and emotions, material culture and consumption, and the media and communication. An appendix featuring biographies of influential cultural historians adds depth to this comprehensive overview.
