Meaning of Social Life Book

In this pathbreaking work, Jeffrey Alexander argues for a strong program in cultural sociology - one that gives culture the predominant place and "autonomy" it deserves. Using a wide range of empirical case studies, from Watergate and technology to war, trauma, and the Holocaust, Alexander demonstrates how cultural structures translate into concrete actions and institutions. Only by identifying structural factors and the concrete mechanisms through which culture does its work, he argues, can the true power and persistence of violence, exclusion and degradation be understood. A work that will change the way sociologists think about culture and the social world.Read More
