Zusammenfassung:"In Challenging codes, leading social theorist Alberto Melucci brings an original perspective to research on collective action which both emphasizes the role of culture and makes telling connections with the experience of the individual in postmodern society. The focus is on the role of information in an age which knows both fragmentation and globalization, building on the analysis of collective action familiar from the author's Nomads of the present. At the same time, a fresh, social psychological nuance is drawn out, which reflects the preoccupations of The playing self, the companion volume to Challenging codes, published in Cambridge Cultural Social Studies." "Alberto Melucci addresses a wide range of contemporary issues, including political conflict and change, feminism, ecology, identity politics, power and inequality, synthesizing cutting-edge research in sociology, anthropology and psychology."--BOOK JACKET.
