Practices of Comparing – Towards a New Understanding of a Fundamental Human Practice Paperback / softback
by Angelika Epple, Walter Erhart, Johannes Grave
Part of the BiUP General series
Paperback / softback
Description
Practices of comparing shape how we perceive, organize, and change the world.
Supposedly innocent, practices of comparing play a decisive role in forming categories, boundaries, and hierarchies; but they can also give an impetus to question and change such structures.
Like almost no other human practice, comparing pervades all social, political, economic, and cultural spheres.
This volume outlines the program of a new research agenda that places comparative practices at the center of an interdisciplinary exploration.
Its contributions combine case studies with overarching systematic considerations.
They show what insights can be gained and which further questions arise when one makes a seemingly trivial practice - comparing - the subject of in-depth research.
