{"product_id":"boredom-studies-reader-michael-gardiner-9781138927469","title":"Boredom Studies Reader: Frameworks and Perspectives","description":"\u003cp\u003eBoredom Studies is an increasingly rich and vital area of contemporary research that examines the experience of boredom as an importan - even quintessential - condition of modern life. This anthology of newly commissioned essays focuses on the historical and theoretical potential of this modern condition, connecting boredom studies with parallel discourses such as affect theory and highlighting possible avenues of future research. Spanning sociology, history, art, philosophy and cultural studies, the book considers boredom as a mass response to the atrophy of experience characteristic of a highly mechanised and urbanised social life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Gardiner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138927465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138927469\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Michael Gardiner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065380909311,"sku":"9781138927469","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b87d056a-abef-437e-8bf6-a918b2b53035.jpg?v=1768674811","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boredom-studies-reader-michael-gardiner-9781138927469","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
