"Redefining Culture: Perspectives Across the Disciplines "argues
that culture is one of the most important factors we need to know
when we interact as well as in our discussions of social problems
and their solutions. This book picks up the dialogue where Kroeber
and Kluckhohn left off in their classic 1952 collection and
analysis of definitions of culture. As a resource for personal and
academic libraries, this volume provides an updated listing of over
300 definitions of culture from a wide array of disciplines.
Chapters examine how the definition of culture has changed
historically, consider themes that cut across the definitions, and
provide models for organizing approaches to defining culture. To
round out this multi-disciplinary perspective, Renato Rosaldo
provides a foreword, and prominent authors from six disciplines
write about how they conceptualize culture and use it in their
research and practice.
This resource is an indispensable reference for scholars
studying or integrating culture into their work. It will appeal to
anyone interested in culture, particularly students and scholars in
anthropology, intercultural and international communication,
cultural studies, cultural and social psychology, linguistics,
sociology, family studies, political science, intergroup relations,
cultural geography, and multicultural education.
