Nothing has generated more controversy in the social sciences than
the turn toward culture, variously known as the linguistic turn,
culturalism, or postmodernism. This book examines the impact of the
cultural turn on two prominent social science disciplines, history
and sociology, and proposes new directions in the theory and
practice of historical research.
The editors provide an introduction analyzing the origins and
implications of the cultural turn and its postmodernist critiques
of knowledge. Essays by leading historians and historical
sociologists reflect on the uses of cultural theories and show both
their promise and their limitations. The afterword by Hayden White
provides an assessment of the trend toward culturalism by one its
most influential proponents.
"Beyond the Cultural Turn" offers fresh theoretical readings of the
most persistent issues created by the cultural turn and provocative
empirical studies focusing on diverse social practices, the uses of
narrative, and the body and self as critical junctures where
culture and society intersect.
