And yet all of these parts of the daily life of consumers, companies, administrations and citizens are linked by the invisible thread of globalisation. All of this gains a sense when we observe that a new global middle class of consumers is in the process of emerging and transforming the whole interplay of social forces which traverse all societies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book presents an inductive method in action, as it has been put in practice in almost 50 years of qualitative investigations in fields, offices, trains, kitchens, bathrooms or living rooms, and in Europe, Asia, Africa, the United States and Brazil. The author promotes a new form of anthropology of modernity, showing that not everything in the life of society, the market, the family or the individual can be observed at the same time. The scale of observation needs to be changed in order to see things appear or disappear depending on the focal length chosen. Understanding the world requires mobile knowledge. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dimitri Uzunidis, Dominique Desjeux\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2807609317\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782807609310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e P.I.E-Peter Lang S.A., Editions Scientifiques\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs","brand":"Dimitri Uzunidis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44491648925951,"sku":"9782807609310","price":85.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c2283374-d1ec-4634-94b9-4d118e6b620a.jpg?v=1699452423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-anthropological-perspective-of-the-dimitri-uzunidis-9782807609310","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
