Those Things That Hold Us Together: Taste and Sociology

Antoine Hennion · 1 Mar 2007

The idea of reflexivity has much to offer to the analysis of taste - but reflexivity in its ancient sense, a form neither active nor passive, pointing to an originary state where things, persons, and events have just arrived, with no action, subject or objects yet decided.

Second, it undertakes an archaeology of a major survey — a Eurobarometer investigation of European citizens' attitudes…

We challenge the distinction that Bourdieu makes between the objective ‘relations’ and ‘positions’ constitutive of ‘social space’ and visible social relationships. In contrast, we maintain that interaction is generative of…

The Social and the Aesthetic: For a Post-Bourdieuian Theory of Cultural Production

Georgina Born · 1 Jul 2010

This article sets out new methodological principles for the sociology of art, a sub-discipline that it seeks to broaden conceptually by shifting the ground from art to cultural production. This shift suggests the utility of overcoming the boundaries that demarcate the sociology of art from adjacent fields, augmenting the sociological repertoire with reference to anthropology,…
