The way people think and act politically is not set in stone. People can and do change the fundamental cultural contours of their political situation. Their political culture does not only restrict imagination and action - it is also a resource for political creativity and invention. In Reinventing Political Culture, this resource is uncovered and explored. Analyzed as a tension between the power of culture and the culture of power, the concept of political culture is reinvented and applied to understanding the practice of people transforming their own political culture in very different cir

Culture politique et politique culturelleToute activité non-professionnelle vouée à la poursuite des loisirs possède sa propre culture, laquelle influence la culture politique. La culture des loisirs constitue done un composant important de la formulation des demandes politiques d'une société. De même, les politiques gouvernementales ont un effet sur la culture des loisirs. A l'aide de multiples exemples, l'auteur illustre ces influences mutuelles entre culture des loisirs et culture politique, influences qui s'avèrent être beaucoup plus complexes et étendues qu'on ne le croit.La science politique actuelle, en négligeant aussi bien les aspects « input-output » de la culture des loisirs que ses effets sur la culture politique, en est venue à ignorer l'existence d'une partie essentielle de la réalité politique et sociale. Bien que l'étendue de cette ignorance ne permette pas pour le moment de déterminer jusqu'à quel point il sera nécessaire de reviser le champ d'étude et les méthodes de la science politique, il n'en demeure pas moins que le crucial probléme des dimensions politiques de la culture des loisirs doive reçevoir à court terme une attention toute particulière de la part des chercheurs. Cette tâche est d'autant plus urgente que la culture des loisirs a des implications importantes pour le contrôle de la pensée individuelle et collective.

The relationship between economics and culture is an uneasy one. Many observers view these two areas as separate or even antagonistic. In recent years, scholars have developed new models favoring either economics (in a post-Marxist approach) or culture as the foundational or encompassing aspect of national societies and international interaction, but there are also more integrationist positions. In an innovative manner, this volume brings together contributions from economists and cultural specialists who address core questions on the subject of the influence economics has on culture and the way in which culture(s) may impact economics: What are the historical and sociocultural roots of national economies? What are the effects of economic globalization and cultural transnationalism, but also of localization, on the interplay of culture and economy? How do the demands of business shape social, economic and cultural values? Do national cultures develop different, culturally specific business ethics? What do we mean by "commodification of culture", but also by "culturalization of commodities"? Which changes is the role of elite culture undergoing in an increasingly economic world?

One of our most brilliant minds offers a sweeping intellectual history that argues for the reclamation of culture's value Culture is a defining aspect of what it means to be human. Defining culture and pinpointing its role in our lives is not, however, so straightforward. Terry Eagleton, one of our foremost literary and cultural critics, is uniquely poised to take on the challenge. In this keenly analytical and acerbically funny book, he explores how culture and our conceptualizations of it have evolved over the last two centuries—from rarified sphere to humble practices, and from a bulwark against industrialism's encroaches to present-day capitalism's most profitable export. Ranging over art and literature as well as philosophy and anthropology, and major but somewhat ";unfashionable"; thinkers like Johann Gottfried Herder and Edmund Burke as well as T. S. Eliot, Matthew Arnold, Raymond Williams, and Oscar Wilde, Eagleton provides a cogent overview of culture set firmly in its historical and theoretical contexts, illuminating its collusion with colonialism, nationalism, the decline of religion, and the rise of and rule over the ";uncultured"; masses. Eagleton also examines culture today, lambasting the commodification and co-option of a force that, properly understood, is a vital means for us to cultivate and enrich our social lives, and can even provide the impetus to transform civil society

The study of popular culture has a long and intimate relationship to the field of cultural sociology, being both a subcategory of the field and a separate arena of inquiry taken up by other disciplines. This article examines the intellectual traditions that have shaped the sociology of popular culture, traces the points of connection and difference between sociologists and other scholars studying popular culture, and argues for the continued relevance of cultural sociology for addressing key issues and concerns within the realm of 'the popular,' broadly conceived. These developments include the rise of new media/communication technologies and the increasing interdependence between popular culture and other arenas of social life.
