One of the purpose of the book is to identify how global and local dimensions intersect with cultural contruction and processes of identity. How do the images around us challenge us in everyday life? We are surrounded by a multitude of imeges in cultural contexts, with rich semiotic signs and symbols. In the context of this assortment of representation, the book explores visual sociological threads and constructs that emerge from issues evoked by modern ideas about globalization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
