French Modern: Norms and Forms of the Social Environment

3.3/5 ( ratings)

In this study of space and power and knowledge in France from the 1830s through the 1930s, Rabinow uses the tools of anthropology, philosophy, and cultural criticism to examine how social environment was perceived and described.
