Civilisation and Fear: Anxiety and the Writing of the Subject

Autor Wojciech Kalaga Editat de Agnieszka Klis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 apr 2012
Paradoxically, if nature has always been a source of fear, civilisation - its other and at the same time the epitome of progress and order - has not only doubled fear itself, but also added its new sister, anxiety. This volume presents a collection of papers devoted to the many various relations between fear and society, culture and civilisation.
