Accounting for Tastes was the most systematic and substantial study
of Australian cultural tastes, preferences and activities ever
published. Taking its inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu's work, this
1999 book examines the relationships between the patterns of
participation in the different fields of cultural practice in
Australia, and analyses trends of consumption and choice that
Australians make in their everyday lives. The book contains
detailed examinations of people's cultural choices through a
large-scale survey and interviews. It also examines the influence
of American culture on Australian choices, and the way work
cultures and cultures of friendship affect how Australians choose
to spend their leisure time. Accounting for Tastes makes a
substantial contribution to the empirical and policy-oriented
social inquiry into questions of cultural practices and
preferences.
