“Discovering culture” in interaction: solving problems in cultural sociology by recovering the interactional side of Parsons’ conception of culture
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 9 - Trang 293-320 - 2019
According to Lizardo (2016), the concept of culture, as it originated with Parsons, is one of the “foundational notions” of modern sociology, such that “the most basic theoretical debates in the discipline…now take place largely under the auspices of ‘cultural theory.’” Unfortunately, to the extent that contemporary conceptions of culture are traced to Parsons, contradictions in cultural theory ar......
A virus as an icon: the 2020 pandemic in images
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 451-461 - 2020
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 photog......
Moving beyond production: Ron Eyerman and the cultural sociology of the arts
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 7 - Trang 247-259 - 2019
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 meaningfu......
The Kano Durbar: Political aesthetics in the bowel of the elephant
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 1 - Trang 125-151 - 2013
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......
The rites of jazz institutions: Uncertainty and valuation in music auditions
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 2 - Trang 266-276 - 2014
The politics of happily-ever-after: romance genre fiction as aesthetic public sphere
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 9 - Trang 177-210 - 2021
How does the romance reading community understand the genre in relation to sociopolitical concerns? This paper draws on interviews, observations of romance writers’ conferences, and a variety of text data to explore how popular romance fiction functions as an aesthetic public sphere, a site of political discourse. While I find that romance novels and the romance community address a range of sociop......
Perceived positions along the social spectrum: The subjective social status of contemporary Chinese in a coastal metropolis
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 5 - Trang 90-126 - 2017
This research investigates how social groups in China defined by income, education, and hukou status-a citizenship classification system based on birthright-differ in the criteria they use in the self-evaluation of their social position in the society. I combine interview and survey data to investigate both how and why my respondents assign themselves to certain position along the social spectrum.......
The myth of the business friendly economy: making neoliberal reforms in the worst state for business
American Journal of Cultural Sociology - Tập 7 - Trang 214-245 - 2018
From 2010 to 2013, legislators in Rhode Island enacted a series of neoliberal reforms to increase “business friendliness” in the state. Where economistic, electoral, organizational, and diffusion accounts fail to explain the timing and content of these reforms, I synthesize the work of Georges Sorel and Jeffrey C. Alexander to argue they were motivated by the myth of the business friendly economy.......
