«La Danse de la vie» is Edward T. Hall's essay on cultural anthropology, published by Points in paperback (288 pages, in French).
Edward T. Hall examines how each culture perceives time: northern societies experience it linearly, as a succession of activities, and southern ones multidimensionally, which generates intercultural misunderstandings. Based on research and personal observations, he defends understanding the other as an ethical task.
Work by American anthropologist Edward T. Hall (1914-2009), translated from English into French by Anne-Lise Hacker; belongs to the Points Essais collection.
For readers interested in cultural anthropology, sociology, and intercultural communication.
