This volume is the first to investigate  comfort  as a cultural narrative and emotional touchstone in contemporary culture. Taken together, the contributions to the volume offer an overview of different approaches to and conceptualizations of comfort in linguistics, literary, media, and cultural studies and art history. They showcase how  comfort  serves as a valuable lens to analyze contemporary artworks and developments, e.g. live theatre broadcasting or political interventions in the US-American media sphere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46453282078871,"sku":"9783837649024","price":6895.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783837649024.webp?v=1769144030","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/comfort-in-contemporary-culture-the-challenges-of-a-concept-9783837649024","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
