Description
Henrietta Moore's new book challenges our understanding of globalisation by examining the hopes, desires and satisfactions of individuals in their daily lives.
In this thought-provoking work, Moore develops a theory of the ethical imagination, exploring how ideas about the human subject and its capacities for self-making and social transformation shape our understanding of culture in a global age.
Through a wide range of examples, from African initiation rituals to Japanese anime, Moore argues for an ethics of engagement based on an understanding of the human need to engage with cultural problems and seek social change.
