Кадзуо Исигуро – урожденный японец, выпускник литературного курса Малькольма Брэдбери, написавший самый английский роман конца XX века! Лауреат Нобелевской премии 2017 года. «Остаток дня» – дневник дворецкого, жизнь с точки зрения Бэрримора. В основе его стилистики лежит сдержанность, выявляющая себя в самой механике речи. Герой не считает возможным проявлять свои чувства, и на лингвистическом уровне эта своеобразная аскеза приводит к замечательным результатам – перед нами этакая оборотная...

В этой книге выдающийся французский социолог Бруно Латур бросает вызов нашему пониманию общества и «социального». Он показывает, почему социальное не может мыслиться как разновидность материала или как некая сфера, и ставит под сомнение сам проект «социального объяснения» какого-либо другого положения дел. Хотя этот более ранний проект был в прошлом продуктивен и, возможно, необходим, теперь он почти остановлен, и отчасти благодаря прогрессу социальных наук. На нынешней стадии их развития уже...

В одних странах, городах, компаниях и семьях люди спокойно относятся к 15-минутным опозданиям, мусору под ногами, мятой одежде, бурной жестикуляции, пререканиям детей с взрослыми и подчиненных с руководством. В других вас сурово накажут за малейшую непунктуальность, улетевшую мимо урны жвачку, лишнюю запятую в документе или непочтительность во взгляде. Почему в одних культурах жестко соблюдаются установленные нормы, а в других активно приветствуются независимость и инициативность? Почему люди...
