{"product_id":"cleaning-sonja-stummerer-9783422804081","title":"Cleaning: A Cultural Technique","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Cleaning\" takes a closer look at everyday life in Western societies. Culture takes place every day: in every household, with every bite, with every piece of clothing; it is negotiated through the products we choose and how we use them. The book sets out to highlight cleaning as a cultural technique through which culture is lived and nature is vanquished, through which hierarchies are created, social rankings manifested, and traditions implemented. Addressing dirt and cleanliness, cleaning agents, equipment, and machines, (clean) surfaces and polluted environments, it interrogates the unwritten cultural rules around cleanliness and order, asking what they reveal about our beliefs and value systems. In 2020, the original German-language edition of this book was published under the title \"Putzen. Eine Kulturtechnik\". It triggered tremendous media coverage in German-speaking countries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sonja Stummerer,Martin Hablesreiter,Honey And Bunny\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3422804080\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783422804081\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Deutscher Kunstverlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/09\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Sonja Stummerer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48659791118591,"sku":"9783422804081","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cleaning-sonja-stummerer-9783422804081","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
