Reviews
The result of intellectual debate, exchange and refinement, this volume contains a selection of the theoretically most sophisticated and empirically most thorough papers first presented in Warsaw and subsequently refined by the authors. Karner and Kopytowska selected contributors who altogether stretch across as much geographical space and as diverse a set of historical and contemporary experiences as possible. Consequently, the chapters that follow collectively cover large parts of Western, Central and Eastern Europe, the continent’s North as well as its Mediterranean South. They illustrate and analyze how political institutions and social relations are continually being done, re-done, and—particularly in periods of crisis—partly underdone. They pay particular attention to the roles played by linguistic and other semiotic practices in such crucial, albeit widely taken-for-granted, processes of ongoing social reproduction and (occasional) transformation. -- Annotation ©2017 * (protoview.com) *
