Are the humanities still relevant in the twenty-first century? In the context of pervasive economic liberalism and shrinking budgets due to a deep and prolonged recession, the exigency of humanities research for society is increasingly put into question. This volume claims that the humanities do indeed matter by offering empirically-grounded critical reflections on contemporary cultural practices, thereby opening up new ways of understanding social life and new directions in humanities scholarship.
Zijn de geesteswetenschappen nog steeds relevant? In deze publicatie wordt betoogd dat de geesteswetenschappen hun betekenis voor de samenleving kunnen terugwinnen door het stellen van nieuwe vragen en door het komen met nieuwe antwoorden.
In de essays in dit boek wordt onderzocht hoe sinds de jaren negentig in elkaar grijpende processen van mediatisering, globalisering en commercialisering de culturele praktijk, sociaal gedrag en het gevoel van solidariteit hebben gevormd.
