Inhaltsangabe

It develops the concept of political culture through case studies of communicative action. It introduces the concept of the texture of political action, which refers to how social context operates on the surface of an event to shape political experience. It focuses on thecatastrophic dimension of the global social order by examining how ordinary people are contending with the paradoxical condition of normal system operation becoming indistinguishable from system breakdown. It integrates ethnography and critical discourse analysis through casestudies in Hungary, Macedonia, Kosovo, Ethiopia, Senegal, Chicago, the Occupy Wall Street movement, online consumption, and an art exhibition.
