How does cultural hierarchy relate to social hierarchy? Do the more
advantaged consume 'high' culture, while the less advantaged
consume popular culture? Or has cultural consumption in
contemporary societies become individualised to such a degree that
there is no longer any social basis for cultural consumption?
Leading scholars from the UK, the USA, Chile, France, Hungary and
the Netherlands systematically examine the social stratification of
arts and culture. They evaluate the 'class-culture homology
argument' of Pierre Bourdieu and Herbert Gans; the
'individualisation arguments' of Anthony Giddens, Ulrich Beck and
Zygmunt Bauman; and the 'omnivore-univore argument' of Richard
Peterson. They also demonstrate that, consistent with Max Weber's
class-status distinction, cultural consumption, as a key element of
lifestyle, is stratified primarily on the basis of social status
rather than by social class.
