An intriguing look at how the utilization of material hermeneutics can augment the social and political scientist’s capability to interpret social events beyond the traditional parameters that textual hermeneutic and linguistic models would generally present.
Reviews
“Professor Medina provides a new look at an old problem: Interpretation. He will awaken the political scientists’ awareness about the materiality in which every political phenomenon is embedded.”
