In tune with the new currents of thought, this work presents a sociology of culture that recovers the relevance of the contribution of Spanish thought to the historical memory of contemporary philosophy and social sciences. The baroque, beyond its interest as an artistic style, is the culture with the greatest impact and irradiation that Spain has given and is part of the Spanish and Latin American tradition of philosophical and social scientific thought. Carlos Soldevilla provides us here with a substantive hermeneutics for the understanding and interpretation of today's society, addressing a series of studies on the links between baroque culture and our current more or less neo-baroque sociocultural phenomenology. Consumption, psychoanalysis, art, body, architecture, visual turn, new identities and lifestyles are some of the phenomena investigated in this book.
