{"product_id":"making-sense-of-reality-tia-denora-9781446201992","title":"Making Sense of Reality","description":"What is reality and how do we make sense of it in everyday life? Why do some realities seem more real than others, and what of seemingly contradictory and multiple realities? This book considers reality as we represent, perceive and experience it. It suggests that the realities we take as 'real' are the result of real-time, situated practices that draw on and draw together many things - technologies and objects, people, gestures, meanings and media. Examining these practices illuminates reality (or rather our sense of it) as always 'virtually real', that is simplified and artfully produced. This examination also shows us how the sense of reality that we make is nonetheless real in its consequences.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMaking Sense of Reality\u003c\/strong\u003e offers students and educators a guide to analysing social life. It develops a performance-based perspective ('doing things with') that highlights the ever-revised dimension of realities and links this perspective to a focus on object-relations and an ecological model of culture-in-action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tia Denora\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1446201996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781446201992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sage Publications Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/22\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.59h x 6.11w x 0.63d","brand":"Tia Denora","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065600389375,"sku":"9781446201992","price":173.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ebe11e4-6de0-407f-bd99-47b92db1a67f.jpg?v=1768676049","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-sense-of-reality-tia-denora-9781446201992","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
