Cultural Models and Collective Mentalities in Literature, Art, and Philosophy

This edited collection combines social science and humanities inquiries to examine the collective mentalities, identities, and national cultural models of people from different communities and nations.
Unpacking the sociocultural mechanisms of people’s actions and experiences, the contributors use literary works to illustrate and further explore such mechanisms. This book explores a variety of diverse geographies from around the globe in order to compare national forms of human subjectivity and further examine collective consciousness and cultural minds.
