Why are former alcoholics pleased to let other people drink in their place? Why can ritual machines pray in place of believers? Robert Pfaller advances the theory of 'interpassivity' as delegated consumption and enjoyment. Applicable to both art and everyday life, the concept allows him to tackle a vast range of phenomena: culture, art, sports and religion. \u003cbr\u003ePfaller criticises dominant assumptions, offers an escape from prevailing ideologies and exposes how cultural capitalism promotes commodities with the promise of happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Pfaller\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474422934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474422932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.30w x 0.40d","brand":"Robert Pfaller","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217381994751,"sku":"9781474422932","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7bd37792-ad10-4288-a092-8bc8a60337a2.jpg?v=1771996870","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/interpassivity-robert-pfaller-9781474422932","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
