The authors from Australia, Finland, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, who contributed to it, are sociologists bound by a conviction that the study of the social context of making use of symbols cannot be underestimated. Conception of symbolism as a social phenomenon and not an autonomous semiotic system is of their common interest and a symbolic interactionist perspective is apparent in many texts. The readiness to trespass the boundaries of various approaches and disciplines is noticeable. The volume is divided into three parts: \u003ci\u003eSymbols and Society. Theoretical Perspectives; Political Discourse and Symbolic Action; Religious Symbolism and Power\u003c\/i\u003e. Symbolism of discourses, symbolic objects and symbolic actions are three intrinsically related domains that were studied.","brand":"Peter Lang AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48889128419671,"sku":"9783631390603","price":39.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/symbols-power-and-politics-9783631390603","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
