| Summary |
"This volume brings together, for the first time, a variety of texts from Certeau's book and journal publications that have proved important in the various disciplines where Certeau has had an influence. The Reader as a whole reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Certeau's work, which draws on history, historiography, psychology, politics, philosophy, semiotics, ethnography, and theology to shape a critique of cultures past and present."--BOOK JACKET |
