Contemporary life in most nation-states is not truly cultural, but rather ‘culture-like, ‘ especially in large-scale societies. Beginning with a distinction between special events and everyday life, Lewis examines fundamental events including play, ritual, work, and carnival and connects personal embodied habits and large-scale cultural practices.
