Routledge, 2019 - 234 pagine
"Focussing on the anthropological consequences of the disappearing of materiality and sensory embodiment, On Insignificance highlights some of the most perturbing patterns of insignificance that have seeped into our everyday lives.

The book will be of interest to scholars of anthropology, cultural studies, semiotics, aesthetics, communication studies and social theory"--
