TASTE

Meer over het boek

Exploring the concept of taste, this book delves into its significance in daily life, questioning its evolution and influence from social factors and media. It examines how taste relates to choices, emotions, and socio-economic status, drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's classic work, "Distinction." The text uniquely integrates four methodologies—semiotics, psychoanalytic theory, sociological theory, and Marxist theory—applying them to diverse topics like yogurt, Celine Dion, and smartphones. Readers will gain analytical tools to understand taste in various contexts.
