Key debates of contemporary cultural sociology - the rise of the
'cultural omnivore', the fate of classical 'highbrow' culture, the
popularization, commercialization and globalization of culture -
deal with temporal changes. Yet, systematic research about these
processes is scarce due to the lack of suitable longitudinal data.
This book explores these questions through the lens of a crucial
institution of cultural mediation - the culture sections in quality
European newspapers - from 1960 to 2010. Starting from the
framework of cultural stratification and employing systematic
content analysis both quantitative and qualitative of more than
13,000 newspaper articles, Enter Culture, Exit Arts? presents a
synthetic yet empirically rich and detailed account of cultural
transformation in Europe over the last five decades. It shows how
classifications and hierarchies of culture have changed in course
of the process towards increased cultural heterogeneity.
Furthermore, it conceptualizes the key trends of rising popular
culture and declining highbrow arts as two simultaneous processes:
the one of legitimization of popular culture and the other of
popularization of traditional legitimate culture, both important
for the loosening of the boundary between 'highbrow' and 'popular'.
Through careful comparative analysis and illustrative snapshots
into the specific socio-historical contexts in which the newspapers
and their representations of culture are embedded - in Finland,
France, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the UK - the book reveals the key
patterns and diversity of European variations in the transformation
of cultural hierarchies since the 1960s. The book is a collective
endeavour of a large-scale international research project active
between 2013 and 2018.
