New Ritual Society. Consumerism and culture in contemporary society
Gianpiero Vincenzo
Description
“New Ritual Society is impressively thorough and wide- ranging” - Randall Collins
“The development of consumerism-related and mass-culture art is also taken into consideration.
And this is not merely by chance, because Vincenzo, professor at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Catania, deems the understanding of such crucial aspects of present society and culture as essential, in order to educate young artists and to achieve an art that actively contributes to a free and creative alteration of our world view.” - from the Preface by Francesco Poli
“Therefore, in my opinion, one of the estimable and original, in a certain sense, aspects which is an added value in Gianpiero Vincenzo’s work is the search for a central thread among the different sociological theories.” - from the Afterwords by Grzegorz J. Kaczynski
