In the third edition of this important and influential book,
Michael Herzfeld revisits the idea of 'cultural intimacy'. The
chapters examine a range of topics touching on the relationship
between state and citizen, and the notion of 'national character'.
Herzfeld provides a developed theoretical framework and additional
clarification of core concepts such as disemia, social poetics and
structural nostalgia. The text has been fully updated in light of
recent scholarship and events, including comment on Greece and the
European Union. There is new material drawn from regions such as
Thailand and China, and further consideration of religious intimacy
and its impact on cities. The book improves our understanding of
how states, societies and institutions function and illustrates the
relevance of anthropology to contemporary issues such as
globalization, censorship, ethnic conflict and nationalism.
