- Summary:
- Impermanence engages with an emergent body of social theory, inspired in part by recent work on the Anthropocene, that has a broader perspective on flux and transformation, and bring this into a dialogue with non-western traditions of thought, notably Buddhist philosophy, which has sustained a long-lasting and sophisticated meditation on impermanence. In cases drawn from all over the world, this volume investigates the role of impermanence in social death, atheism, alcoholism, migration, ritual, fashion, oncology, archaeology, museology and art.
