Synopsis

This work is based on David Lockwood's argument that men's perception of the wider society will vary according to the work and community milieux in which they live out their daily lives. The book is concerned with how, in a stratified industrial society, people form mental representations of that structure. The book offers six empirical papers considering the social imagery of miners, ship-building, agricultural and textile workers, and unskilled factory workers. These are followed by five contributions which examine the methodological problems of the study of class imagery. In the concluding section, the nature of proletarian traditionalism and radicalism in Britain is discussed.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

First published in 1975. How do men come to perceive and evaluate a world in which marked inequalities of class and status exist? This book considers the nature of class images and their underlying work and community structures. Beginning with the argument that the perception of society varies according to type of work and community milieux, it first considers the social imagery of working-class professions and their sources of variation, and then examines some of the methodological problems of the study of class imagery. The nature of proletarian traditionalism and radicalism in then contemporary Britain is discussed in conclusion. This title will be of interest to students of sociology.
