Graham M. Devere Smith: Friendship Studies: Politics and Practices, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

This anthology brings together scholarship in the field of Friendship Studies.
In recent decades, friendship has been a site of analysis for understanding the connections between people and groups, and as a fabric for holding the political and social together. Starting with the theoretical debates about how to conceptualize friendship as a political idea, the anthology then looks at friendship s relationship with justice, the state, and civic relations. The collection presents cutting-edge research which moves the theorization of friendship beyond western confines to consider the themes in cross-cultural and decolonized contexts.
