Description

Offering a cognitive and psychoanalytic approach, this work asks why culture is a problem that can never be solved. It develops a theory of cultural dialectics based on the concept of paradox, in which it shows how ambivalence and conflicts are at the heart of all cultural knowledge systems. About the Author Charles W. Nuckolls is assistant professor of anthropology at Emory University. He is the editor of The Cultural Construction of Diagnostic Categories: The Case of American Psychiatry and Siblings in South Asia: Brothers and Sisters in Cultural Context. He is also the author of Culture: A Problem that Cannot Be Solved, published by the University of Wisconsin Press.
