Edited book
In her work, Danielle de Lame has always favoured an approach disentangling the contradiction and fragmentation of the day-to-day, relationships between 'top' and 'bottom', representations of the Self, ties between the Self and objects, and creation and management of differences and hierarchy - everything that compromises the production of social change. This interdisciplinary volume takes different spatio-temporal trajectories to reflect these themes and explores recurring fundamental points in human and social sciences: 'in-disciplinarity' and comparison of political and historical 'truth'. It pays tribute to the intellectual integrity of Danielle de Lame and her scientific rigour and trailblazing endeavours.
