This book argues that people live a culture - which may explain why they are so affectively attached to it. By considering cultural interactions on a global scale, this book investigates how cultures can be understood in terms of conflict and cooperation, in relation to the nation-state, a multiplicity of worlds, society, civilization and community. It considers how culture is at the basis of the construction of individual and collective selves; how they can come to be alienated; are defined in relation to others; are perhaps in-comparable; when they are considered to be dis-abled; and whether we can speak of animal cultural selves and mechanical cultural selves. Its twelve chapters consists of two parts each that both start with a piece of music. The pieces are taken from different cultures and all connote that getting to understand cultures depends on listening, first and foremost.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amsterdam University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45034853204119,"sku":"9789463720380","price":1781.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789463720380.webp?v=1769211116","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/cultural-interactions-conflict-and-cooperation-9789463720380","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
