The common saying is that people have a culture. This book argues
that people live a culture - which may explain why they are so
affectively attached to it. By considering cultural interactions on
a global scale, this book investigates how cultures can be
understood in terms of conflict and cooperation, in relation to the
nation-state, a multiplicity of worlds, society, civilization and
community. It considers how culture is at the basis of the
construction of individual and collective selves; how they can come
to be alienated; are defined in relation to others; are perhaps
in-comparable; when they are considered to be dis-abled; and
whether we can speak of animal cultural selves and mechanical
cultural selves. Its twelve chapters consists of two parts each
that both start with a piece of music. The pieces are taken from
different cultures and all connote that getting to understand
cultures depends on listening, first and foremost.
