The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life

The Fine Line: Making Distinctions in Everyday Life

by Zerubavel (Author)

Synopsis

Eviatar Zerubavel argues that most of the distinctions we make in our daily lives and in our culture are social constructs. He questions the notion that a clear line can be drawn to separate one time or object or concept from another, and presents witty and provocative counterexamples in defense of ambiguity and anomaly.
