Description: Copy Generic : How the Nonspecific Makes Our Social Worlds, Paperback by Maclochlainn, Scott, ISBN 022682277X, ISBN-13 9780226822778, Brand New, Free shipping in the US "An illuminating look at how the "generic" is key to how we make meaning in the world. From off-brand products to elevator music, the "generic" is discarded as the copy, the knock-off, and the old. In The Copy Generic, anthropologist Scott MacLochlainn insists that more than the waste from the culture machine, the generic is a universal social tool, allowing us to move through the world with necessary frames of reference. It is the baseline and background, a category that includes and orders different types of specificity yet remains non-specific in itself.
