Michel De Certeau cover

Michel de Certeau is becoming increasingly recognised as a cultural theorist whose methodologies could rival those of Foucault. In this engaging book, Ben Highmore provides a stimulating account of Michel de Certeau's work and its relation to the field of cultural studies. The book explores those aspects of de Certeau's work that both challenge and re-imagine cultural studies, highlighting the potential this work has for supplying a critical epistemology and a practical ethics for the study of culture within the arts and humanities more generally. Michel de Certeau: Analysing Culture provides an ideal introduction to the work of this extraordinary and important thinker.

"Highmore's contribution is not a general presentation of de Certeau's thought.  Rather, it is a complex, ambitious, and important study that requires some prior knowledge of de Certeau's major works and a familiarity with the discourses, disciplines, and fields of inquiry that have emerged over the past several decades in the wake of post-structuralism and deconstruction." —Alain Gabon, Virginia Wesleyan College, Substance, #115, Vol. 37, No. 1, 2008 -- Alain Gabon
