Theories of Culture (Hardcover): Arnold Groh Theories of Culture (Hardcover)
Arnold Groh
R4,160 Discovery Miles 41 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This authoritative but concise guide describes the most significant cultural theories from the 19th to the 21st century and their originators, as well as the links between them and their mutual influences. This guide explores ideas around what culture is, when and why cultures change over time and whether there are any rules or principles behind culture-related phenomena and processes. For those seeking to answer questions on culture, familiarity with these topics is essential. From refugee movements caused by wars, to the ongoing demographical changes in regions of the world like sub-Saharan Africa or the Indian subcontinent, understanding the underlying mechanisms of culture-related processes has become an immediate and essential task. Covering everything from the processes of cultural change to counterculture and destabilisation, the book explains different ideas in a clear and objective fashion and includes approaches that have been unduly neglected but which have high explanatory value regarding culture and its phenomena. Providing readers with an up-to-date idea of what culture is, and how our understanding of it has been established over the past century, this text is the perfect companion for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers.

Doktorarbeit / Dissertation aus dem Jahr 1997 im Fachbereich Psychologie - Sozialpsychologie, Note: 1,0, Universitat Bielefeld (Psychologie und Sportwissenschaft), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird dem Phanomen des kulturellen Verlustes nachgegangen, wie es im Schwinden traditioneller Kultur - sowohl in der Dritten Welt als auch in den Industrienationen - zu beobachten ist. Menschenrechtsverletzungen, die in der Pragmatik der Kulturvernichtung haufig auftreten, legen die Planung intensiver Strategien nahe. Voraussetzung fur erfolgreiche Intervention ist die Kenntnis der dem kulturellen Verlust zugrundeliegenden Mechanismen. Es wird ein Funktionsmodell vorgestellt, das den Zuwachs an Dominanz, den eine Kultur gegenuber anderen erfahrt, mit der Zunahme an Effektivitat erklart, die das Resultat vorangegangener Syntheseprozesse ist und somit in der Akkumulation erfolgreicher Strategien besteht. Die Dominanz eines Gesellschaftssystems fuhrt dazu, dass andere Kulturgruppen, die mit ihr konfrontiert werden, zunachst als Subsystem angekoppelt werden, bevor sie ihre Auflosung erfahren. Bei der Analyse der Prozesse auf feldtheoretischer sowie auf individueller Ebene kommt der kulturellen Semiotik ein hoher Erklarungswert hinsichtlich Transport und Zerstorung kultureller Information zu. Aus kognitionspsychologischer Perspektive impliziert dies gleichzeitig Prozesse der symbolischen Selbsterganzung, mit denen seitens der Dominierten versucht wird, die Distanz zur Dominanzkultur zu uberbrucken, wobei jedoch bisher benutzte Kulturelemente geloscht werden. Die Interventionsplanung geschieht in der Orientierung am ursprunglichen kulturellen Speicher, sofern dieser noch besteht oder rekonstruierbar ist, um eine Stabilisierung durch gegenlaufige Massnahmen zu erreichen. Aspekte der ethisch-moralischen Legitimitat von Interventionsmassnahmen werden ebenso diskutiert wie Probleme hinsichtlich der Durchfuhrung, die sich aus Tabus der
