Understanding Culture
a handbook for students in the humanities
2017 || Paperback || Babette Hellemans || Amsterdam University Press
This innovative textbook explores a variety of every facets of culture, both in past and present. How is it possible to study 'culture' when the topic covers the arts, literature, film, history, sociology, anthropology and gender studies?
