Description
Distortion occurs between the intentions of actions and their outcomes. Escaping the bounds of relationality, of structuration and of systemics, distortion is a form of complex connectedness that has seldom been addressed in the social sciences as a phenomenon in its own right. This book argues that instances of distortion are an important and, paradoxically, habitual aspect of human psychical and social life. The chapters in this book, each based on an ethnographic case-study, all work to put the concept of distortion into effect. Coming to terms with distortion adds much to a social-scientific appreciation of human activity and creativity and of the complexity of social milieu.
