Practicing Culture revitalizes the field of cultural sociology with an emphasis not on abstract theoretical debates but on showing how to put theoretical sources to work in empirical research. Each of the chapters in this book offer a provocative empirical case study of how culture works in practice and how practice makes and remakes culture. It is an essential tool for students and researchers of cultural theory, contemporary social theory and cultural sociology.
