The Routledge Handbook of the Sociology of Arts and Culture offers
a comprehensive overview of sociology of art and culture, focusing
especially - though not exclusively - on the visual arts,
literature, music, and digital culture. Extending, and critiquing,
Bourdieu's influential analysis of cultural capital, the
distinguished international contributors explore the extent to
which cultural omnivorousness has eclipsed highbrow culture, the
role of age, gender and class on cultural practices, the character
of aesthetic preferences, the contemporary significance of screen
culture, and the restructuring of popular culture. The Handbook
critiques modes of sociological determinism in which cultural
engagement is seen as the simple product of the educated middle
classes. The contributions explore the critique of Eurocentrism and
the global and cosmopolitan dimensions of cultural life. The book
focuses particularly on bringing cutting edge 'relational' research
methodologies, both qualitative and quantitative, to bear on these
debates. This handbook not only describes the field, but also
proposes an agenda for its development which will command major
international interest.
