En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the interplay of various disciplines, this book delves into how individuals derive and express meaning from their relationships. It examines the concept of selves as "projections of personhood" and traces the evolution of self-expression in the context of modern electronic communication. Key themes include the role of emotions as "framing judgments" and the significance of ritual, play, communitas, and work as four distinct "pathways of experience." Through this multifaceted approach, the author offers a comprehensive understanding of human connection and meaning-making.
