From Sociology to Cultural Studies: New Perspectives FROM THE PUBLISHER
The question of how to understand culture and society has engaged passionate interest across the social sciences and humanities in recent decades. Exciting new empirical work on topics from jazz, architecture, grassroots social movements, inner-city schools, and the television viewing culture to international relations and black women's sexuality are explored in this volume, providing a linkage between traditional sociological inquiry and other more theoretical and methodological approaches grounded in cultural studies.
Eminent scholars from a variety of disciplines including Michael Schudson, Michele Lamont, George Lipsitz, Tricia Rose, Herman Gray, and Richard Johnson suggest ways that cultural analysis can become more socially grounded, while also challenging sociology to learn from analytic perspectives developed outside the discipline in Elizabeth Long's fascinating collection.
