This book brings together social sciencists to create an
interdisciplinary dialogue on the topic of social change as a
cultural process. Culture is as much about novelty as it is about
tradition, as much about change as it is about stability. This
dynamic tension is analyzed in collective protests, intergroup
dynamics, language, mass media, science, community participation,
art, and social transitions to capitalism, among other contexts.
These diverse cases illustrate a number of key factors that can
propel, slow-down and retract social change. An emancipatory and
integrative social science is developed in this book, which offers
a new explanatory model of human behavior and thought under
conditions of institutional and societal change.
