Cultural Politics in a Global Age cover

" This is a broad and authoritative book, which puts together philosophy, politics, economy and technology. Much more than a loose collection of articles, the book expresses a coherent point of view: cosmopolitan in outlook but attentive to local differences and specific cultural practices. Held and Moore have produced a benchmark book in the analysis of cultural politics." Richard Sennett - Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics and New York University "A major contribution to interdisciplinary debates on contemporary culture and a must for every thinking person." Rosi Braidotti - Distinguished Professor in the Humanities, Utrecht University

prominent and diverse thinkers examines the
question, ‘What is the future of culture in the
age of globalization?’ These essays represent a
major theoretical and methodological challenge
to the social sciences, and question the nature of
globalization and the culture of change.
