Produktbeschreibung
"Signifiers in Flux: Deconstructing Race in Modern Society" delves into the dynamic nature of race, challenging traditional biological perspectives and presenting race as a culturally mediated construct. This book merges insights from sociology, anthropology, cultural studies, and political science to explore race as a floating signifier influencing societal structures and individual identities. It examines how race is shaped across various domains-media, education, public policy, and social interactions-highlighting the mechanisms that perpetuate and contest racial categories. Employing theoretical frameworks like Critical Race Theory and Foucault's concepts of discursive power, the text investigates the role of discourse in constructing racial identities and hierarchies. Each chapter includes case studies and suggests innovative approaches for rethinking racial narratives, aiming to foster more inclusive societies. This work not only enhances understanding of the complexity of race beyond biological definitions but also provides practical insights for activists, policymakers, and educators dedicated to challenging and reshaping racial discourses.
