Recognizing chilliness: How schemas of inequality shape views of culture and climate in work environmentsAmerican Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 6 - Trang 125-160 - 2016
Erin A. Cech, Mary Blair-Loy, Laura E. Rogers
Why are some people more likely than others to recognize hostile or unfair
interactions in local environments such as their workplaces? We argue that
awareness of chilly climates is not simply a tally of instances of
discrimination but an interpretive process framed by cultural schemas of
inequality, deeply held cultural accounts of broad ascriptive group differences.
We contend that schemas of in... hiện toàn bộ
A virus as an icon: the 2020 pandemic in imagesAmerican Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 451-461 - 2020
Sonnevend, Julia
The 2020 coronavirus pandemic is puzzling from a visual point of view. There are
millions of photographs published about the crisis every day, yet we can see the
key actor, the virus, only in artistic representations. Most of us also have
very restricted access to central sites of the crisis, as intensive care units,
nursing homes, meat packing plants and prisons are often not available for

Francesca Polletta, Monica Trigoso, Britni Adams, Amanda Ebner

place-specific beliefs intrude on the operation of plot genres in shaping
narrative’s meaning? On the basis of a survey and focus-group study of how women
interpreted first-p... hiện toàn bộ

Lisa McCormick
This paper celebrates Ron Eyerman’s contribution to the sociology of the arts.
Through a discussion of selected publications, I highlight the key arguments and
the themes running through this strand of his work to show how he both pointed
beyond production perspectives and secured a central place for art and music in
the strong program of cultural sociology. I also revisit his call for a

The Kano Durbar: Political aesthetics in the bowel of the elephantAmerican Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 1 - Trang 125-151 - 2013
Wendy Griswold, Muhammed Bhadmus
Political aesthetics deploy theatrical techniques to unite performers and
audience into a cultural community, thereby distracting from conflicts. The Kano
Durbar in northern Nigeria demonstrates how the aesthetics of power can promote
a place-based political culture. Although power in Kano rests on a wobbly
three-legged stool of traditional, constitutional and religious authority, the
status quo c... hiện toàn bộ
