Challenging Codes (Cambridge Cultural Social Studies) (Volume 0) by Melucci. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521578431.

Alberto Melucci brings an original perspective to research on collective action, emphasizing the role of culture and making telling connections with the experience of the individual in postmodern society. The focus is on the role of information in a world both fragmented and globalized, and topics addressed include political conflict, feminism, ecology, identity politics, power and inequality. The book builds on the authors Nomads of the Present (1989), and is a companion volume to The Playing Self (CUP, 1996).
