What is reality and how do we make sense of it in everyday life? What makes some things meaningful and others instantly forgettable? Why do some realities seem more real than others, and what of seemingly contradictory and multiple realities? In this accomplished study, Tia DeNora helps us to make sense of reality. She considers reality as we represent, perceive and experience it, demonstrating how technology, objects, people and gestures operate and combine to produce a sense of ‘real’ experience. Thought provoking and brilliantly illustrated, it offers readers an exciting new way of understanding identity, society and culture.
