John Frow

The Practice of Value (eBook, ePUB)

Essays on literature in cultural studies

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The essays collected here, working at the point of intersection of literary studies and cultural studies, are centrally concerned with conflicts of value: the aesthetic value that is ascribed to texts; the economic value that accrues to intellectual property; the processes of social valuation that turn waste into worth and back again; the structures of valued knowledge that shape both the disciplines of knowledge and everyday life; and the political struggles over social and cultural difference that give rise, at their most intense, to the desolation of communities and the destruction of cultures.
