The "cultural turn" in sociology created a new interest in power
questions. This has led to a renewed interest in conceptual
discussions of power in the field of culture studies, whereas
empirical work is still less developed. "Comparative Studies of
Culture and Power" sets the focus on the uses of cultural and
symbolic means in struggles for hegemony: in politics, music
markets, literature and the arts. Gender specific uses of
rhetorical techniques is one salient theme, struggles for
recognition of rhythm and blues music another. Several articles
treat the role of the arts in nation building, as well as the role
of public monuments in the acknowledgement of war and terrorism.
The analyses relate to cultures all over the Western world.
