Download or read book La sociologie culturelle de Jeffrey C. Alexander written by Jean-François Côté and published by Presses de l'Université Laval. This book was released on 2021-07-23T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jeffrey C. Alexander, professeur à l’Université Yale (New Haven, Connecticut), est reconnu aujourd’hui comme une des plus importantes figures de la sociologie aux États-Unis. Il a développé là le programme de la sociologie culturelle, comme un axe central de théorisation visant l’analyse de société contemporaine. La sociologie culturelle, telle que la présente Alexander, s’inscrit dans le projet d’une réorientation complète du projet de la sociologie, en fonction d’une double herméneutique, celle de la tradition sociologique elle-même et celle de la vie sociale telle qu’elle s’inscrit plus particulièrement au sein de la sphère civile. Par une interprétation de la signification du monde social qui passe entre autres par ses dimensions narratives, performatives et médiatiques, Alexander aborde l’étude des mouvements sociaux et des institutions politiques dans leur contribution au développement et au renouvellement de la sphère civile, sur les plans à la fois national et international. Ce livre offre pour la première fois au monde francophone une vision systématique et critique de la sociologie culturelle de Jeffrey C. Alexander, en montrant la profondeur de son développement ainsi que l’étendue du rayonnement de cette œuvre majeure.
Book Synopsis Jeffrey Alexander and Cultural Sociology by : Jean-François Côté
Download or read book Jeffrey Alexander and Cultural Sociology written by Jean-François Côté and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first comprehensive and critical account of Jeffrey Alexander’s cultural sociology. Alexander has proposed a “strong program” in cultural sociology that analyses the cultural pragmatics of social performance, and his hermeneutical approach connects meaningful political action with deeper symbolic structures of social life. His highly original account of the civil sphere, as an institutionalized domain that is shaped by the discourse of liberty and solidarity and that sustains universalizing cultural aspirations provides an illuminating perspective on how democracy functions, and fails to function, in contemporary societies. This book charts the development of Alexander’s thought in all its complexity. Through its critical readings, it also opens up a dialogue with other contemporary approaches in sociology, situating Alexander’s work in relation to others and highlighting alternative views that challenge his ideas. It is an invaluable introduction for anyone who wishes to learn more about the work of one of the most creative sociologists of our time.
Book Synopsis The Meanings of Social Life by : Jeffrey C. Alexander
Download or read book The Meanings of Social Life written by Jeffrey C. Alexander and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-09-18 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Meanings of Social Life , Jeffrey Alexander presents a new approach to how culture works in contemporary societies. Exposing our everyday myths and narratives in a series of empirical studies that range from Watergate to the Holocaust, he shows how these unseen yet potent cultural structures translate into concrete actions and institutions. Only when these deep patterns of meaning are revealed, Alexander argues, can we understand the stubborn staying power of violence and degradation, but also the steady persistence of hope. By understanding the darker structures that restrict our imagination, we can seek to transform them. By recognizing the culture structures that sustain hope, we can allow our idealistic imaginations to gain more traction in the world. A work that will transform the way that sociologists think about culture and the social world, this book confirms Jeffrey Alexander's reputation as one of the major social theorists of our day.
Book Synopsis A Sociology of Sound Technicians by : Andy Battentier
Download or read book A Sociology of Sound Technicians written by Andy Battentier and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If art, and especially music, has been framed in cultural sociology as a collective production relying on a variety of actors, technicians have been mostly framed as “support personnel” marginally impacting the meaning of a cultural production. This book analyzes sound technicians as technical intermediaries. They are autonomous actors of cultural production, and contribute in various ways to the meaning of live or recorded music performances, framed as a form of interaction rituals. From this analysis, it argues that artists should not be considered at the center of art worlds, and proposes a model including various types of actors in different roles, all necessary to produce a cultural object.

Download or read book Poder y performance written by Alexander, Jeffrey C. and published by CIS- Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La sociología cultural desarrollada por Jeffrey Alexander pretende superar las limitaciones de las teorías de la sociedad y de la acción desarrolladas desde las perspectivas clásicas de la sociología, en las que el papel de la cultura, la ideología, lo simbólico y el significado aparecen como meros reflejos de la estructura o base material de la vida social. Lo que en una primera fase se llevó a cabo mediante un «programa fuerte» de inspiración durkheimiana, más adelante experimentó un giro performativo que se nutrió de disciplinas tan dispares como la filosofía del lenguaje, la antropología cultural o los estudios escénicos. Este enfoque multidisciplinar permite desentrañar analítica y empíricamente aspectos del papel de la cultura en la vida social ignorados hasta entonces. En Poder y performance, Alexander reúne un conjunto de trabajos fundamentales para entender este nuevo enfoque de su sociología cultural. En los primeros plantea los fundamentos de su teoría de la pragmática cultural, definiendo los elementos de la performance social y analizando cómo las dificultades para mantenerlos unidos afectan a la producción de sentido, así como el papel que desempeña en ello el poder. En un intento deliberado de situarse en el plano mertoniano de las teorías de rango medio, el resto del libro ofrece diferentes aplicaciones empíricas de esta perspectiva, como son la campaña electoral de Barack Obama y su fracaso simbólico como presidente, el triunfo del movimiento por los derechos civiles, la violencia terrorista del 11 de Septiembre, el fiasco estadounidense en la guerra iraquí o el papel de los intelectuales públicos.

Book Synopsis The Journalist's Predicament by : Matthew Powers
Download or read book The Journalist's Predicament written by Matthew Powers and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-22 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low pay. Uncertain work prospects. Diminished prestige. Why would anyone still want be a journalist? Drawing on in-depth interviews in France and the United States, Matthew Powers and Sandra Vera-Zambrano explore the ways individuals come to believe that journalism is a worthy pursuit—and how that conviction is managed and sometimes dissolves amid the profession’s ongoing upheavals. For many people, journalism represents a job that is interesting and substantial, with opportunities for expression, a sense of self-fulfillment, and a connection to broader social values. By distilling complex ideas, holding the powerful to account, and revealing hidden realities, journalists play a crucial role in helping audiences make sense of the world. Experiences in the profession, though, are often far more disappointing. Many find themselves doing tasks that bear little relation to what attracted them initially or are frustrated by institutions privileging what sells over what informs. The imbalance between the profession’s economic woes and its social importance threatens to erode individuals’ beliefs that journalism remains a worthwhile pursuit. Powers and Vera-Zambrano emphasize that, as with many seemingly individual choices, social factors—class, gender, education, and race—shape how journalists make sense of their profession and whether or not they remain in it. An in-depth story of one profession under pressure, The Journalist’s Predicament uncovers tensions that also confront other socially important jobs like teaching, nursing, and caretaking.
Book Synopsis Handbook of Sociological Theory by : Jonathan H. Turner
Download or read book Handbook of Sociological Theory written by Jonathan H. Turner and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-17 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociology is experiencing what can only be described as hyperdifferentiation of theories - there are now many approaches competing for attention in the intellectual arena . From this perspective, we should see a weeding out of theories to a small number, but this is not likely to occur because each of the many theoretical perspectives has a resource base of adherents. As a result, theories in sociology do not compete head on with each other as much as they coexist. This seminal reference work was brought together with an eye to capturing the diversity of theoretical activity in sociology - specifically the forefront of theory. Contributors describe what they themselves are doing right now rather than what others have done in the past. The goal of this volume is to allow prominent theorists working in a variety of traditions - who wouldn't usually come together - to review their work. The chapters in this volume represent a mix of theoretical orientations and strategies, but these these theories are diverse and represent the prominent theoretical discussions in sociology today. Some areas included are: Section I: Theoretical Methodologies and Strategies Section II: The Cultural Turn in Sociological Theorizing Section III: Theorizing Interaction Processes Section IV: Theorizing from the Systemic and Macrolevel Section V: New Directions in Evolutionary Theorizing Section VI: Theorizing on Power, Conflict, and Change SectionVII: Theorizing from Assumptions of Rationality This handbook will be of interest to those wanting a broad spectrum and overview of late 20th - early 21st century sociological theory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Cultural Sociology presents a serious challenge to British Cultural Studies and European grand theory alike. This exciting volume brings together sixteen seminal papers by leading figures in what is emerging as an important intellectual tradition. It places them in the context of related work in Sociology and other disciplines, exploring the connections between cultural sociology and different approaches, such as comparative and historical research, postmodernism, and symbolic interactionism. The book is divided into three sections: Culture as Text and Code, The Production and Reception of Culture, and Culture in Action. Each section contains edited contributions, both theoretical and empirical, addressing the key debates in cultural sociology, including the autonomy of culture, power and culture, structure and agency and how to conceptualise meaning.
