The Anthropology Of Cultural Performance

Contemporary life in most nation-states is not truly cultural, but rather "culture-like," especially in large-scale societies. Beginning with a distinction between special events and everyday life, Lewis examines fundamental events including play, ritual, work, and carnival and connects personal embodied habits and large-scale cultural practices. 9781349465927 1349465925 189 BOOK Social Science http://books.google.com/books/content?id=Twe8DAEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
