Description
Culture, cultural difference, and cultural conflict always surround us. Cultural sociologists aim to understand their role across all aspects of social life by examining processes of meaning-making.
In this crisp and accessible book, Lyn Spillman demonstrates many of the conceptual tools cultural sociologists use to explore how people make meaning. Drawing on vivid examples, she offers a compelling analytical framework within which to view the entire field of cultural sociology. In each chapter, she introduces a different angle of vision, with distinct but compatible approaches for explaining culture and its role in social life: analyzing symbolic forms, meaning-making in interaction, and organized production.
This book both offers a concise answer to the question of what cultural sociology is and provides an overview of the fundamental approaches in the field.

Alexander of Yale University praises Spillman’s ability to synthesise complex theory and empirical studies, presenting cultural sociology as a coherent model of social life rather than divided schools of thought. Michèle Lamont of Harvard University commends the book as a smart, clear, and up-to-date account of cultural sociology’s development over thirty years, recommending it as an essential resource for sociologists.
