«Beyond Culture» is the cultural anthropology essay by Edward T. Hall, published by Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group in paperback (320 pages in English).
Edward T. Hall examines how culture unconsciously conditions the way we think, feel, and communicate. With examples from James Joyce's Finnegans Wake and the habits of the New Guinea bowerbird, he proposes a journey of self-discovery to understand cultural diversity and re-examine one's own values.
Originally published in 1977, the book is part of Hall's studies on intercultural and nonverbal communication.
For readers interested in cultural anthropology, intercultural communication, and social theory.
Edward Twitchell Hall Jr. was an American anthropologist and cross-cultural researcher. He is remembered for developing the concept of proxemics and exploring cultural and social cohesion, and describing how people behave and react in different types of culturally defined personal space. Hall was an influential colleague of Marshall McLuhan and Buckminster Fuller.
