Edited by three leading cultural sociologists The Oxford Handbook of Cultural Sociology presents the full theoretical and methodological vitality of this critically significant new area. The Handbook gathers together works by authors confronting the crucial choices all cultural sociologists face today: about analytic priorities methods topics epistemologies ideologies and even modes of writing. It is a vital collection of preeminent thinkers studying the ways in which culture society politics and economy interact in the world. Organized by empirical areas of study rather than particular theories or competing intellectual strands the Handbook addresses power politics and states; economics and organization; mass media; social movements; religion; aesthetics; knowledge; and health.
