In this fascinating collection of essays, the "fissured terrain" of the Sociology of Culture is charted as never before. Covering a wide range of subjects and a diversity of approaches, this volume demonstrates how far contemporary sociologists of culture have come in challenging the way that culture has been and is perceived within mainstream sociology.
While the writers collected here in no way subscribe to a single approach, their ideas can be taken collectively (under the rubric of the "Sociology of Culture") as part of a larger project, synthesizing American and European perspectives, aimed at challenging current orthodoxies and rethinking the crucial category of "culture" in current social thought and research.
Thus, Michael Schudson writes on Culture and the Nation, Frank Dobbin on Culture and Organizational Behavior, Andrea Press on Cultural Reception, and Ewa Morawska and Willfried Spohn on Cultural Pluralism. The volume also includes important essays by Diana Crane, Mabel Berezin, Chandra Mukerji, Richard Peterson, David Brain, Anne Bowler and Steve Derne.
The Sociology of Culture is published in association with the Sociology of Culture Section of the American Sociological Association.
