Description
The New Historicism by Harold Aram Veeser A collection of essays that explores the concept of culture in action, using "thick descriptions" to uncover the underlying forces controlling society. This approach, developed by cultural anthropologists such as Clifford Geertz, examines everyday events and anecdotes to gain insight into a whole society. Contributors from various fields of study offer their perspectives on this method, which seeks to reveal the complex relationships between culture, history, and power. By analyzing tiny particulars, these scholars aim to understand the motive forces driving social change and cultural transformation.
