{"product_id":"social-performance-jeffrey-c-alexander-9780521674621","title":"Social Performance","description":"Taking a \"cultural pragmatic\" approach to meaning, the contributors suggest a new way of looking at the continuum that stretches between ritual and strategic action. They do so by developing, for the first time, a model of \"social performance\". This volume offers the first systematic and analytical framework that transforms the metaphor into a social theory and applies it to a series of facinating large-scale social and cultural processes--from September 11 and the Clinton\/Lewinsky Affair, to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Willy Brandt's famous \"kneefall\" before the Warsaw momument.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey C.
