Practicing Culture seeks to revitalize the field of cultural
sociology with an emphasis not on abstract theoretical debates but
on showing how to put theoretical sources to work in empirical
research. Culture is not just products and representations but
practices. It is made and remade in countless small ways and
occasional bursts of innovation. It is something people do - and do
in rich variety and distinctive contexts as engaging case studies
from the book reveal. For example: in Russia's most Western city,
Kaliningrad, residents dig for artifacts symbolizing a German past
- even though their parents only migrated to what was once
Konigsberg after WWII in the USA, fans of professional wrestling
pride themselves on being smart enough to know how much is trickery
and how the tricks work yet still believe in the contest.
Practicing Culture will reshape and invigorate the sociology of
culture, not only through internal development, but through
enhanced connections to the interdisciplinary social theory and to
related fields like the sociology of knowledge and ethnography. It
will prove an essential tool for students and researchers of
cultural theory, contemporary social theory and cultural sociology.
