Description: Impermanence : Exploring Continuous Change Across Cultures, Paperback by Geismar, Haidy (EDT); Otto, Ton (EDT); Warner, Cameron David (EDT), ISBN 1787358704, ISBN-13 9781787358706, Brand New, Free shipping in the US An exploration of the emergent social theory of flux and transformation through dialogue with non-Western traditions of thought. Nothing lasts forever. This common experience can be the source of much anxiety, but also of hope. The concept of impermanence or continuous change opens up a range of timely questions and discussions that speak to globally shared experiences of transformation and concerns for the future. Impermanence engages with an emergent body of social theory that emphasizes flux and transformation and brings it into a dialogue with other traditions of thought and practice, such as Buddhism, that have sustained a long-lasting and sophisticated meditation on impermanence. In cases drawn from all over the world, this volume investigates the significance of impermanence in such diverse contexts as social death, atheism, alcoholism, migration, ritual, fashion, oncology, museums, cultural heritage, and art. The authors draw on a wide range of disciplines, including anthropology, archaeology, art history, Buddhist studies, cultural geography, and museology. This volume also includes numerous photographs, artworks, and poems that evocatively communicate notions and experiences of impermanence.
