A Classic Sociologist for Our Time
This paper draws attention to one possible intellectual factor that has contributed to Pierre Bourdieu's undeniable status as a contemporary classic.Despite his frequent sorties against general theorising, Bourdieu has produced his own kind of general sociological theory that, in a crowd of competitors, is better suited than most to meeting the demand that is present across the field of sociology and other social sciences for a general but non-un…
Continuity in Discontinuity
This article analyses the development of the sociology of culture in Czechia. Its focus is on the sociology of the arts and cultural sociology, which, it is argued, are connected through the notion of the relative autonomy of cultural structures. While the Czech sociology of culture may have been rendered less dynamic by the lack of a critical mass of sociologists specialising in this area and by the country’s frequent political upheavals and its…

A False Beginning? The Growth and Destruction of Czech Sociology 1918–1950
The institutionalization of sociology made big steps forward in the newly independent Czechoslovak state after 1918. The first professors were appointed, sociology became a recognized academic discipline, and a national association was founded. Two antagonistic centers crystalized at the universities in Prague and Brno, each of which launched its own sociological journal. The most consequential tension in the interwar years, however, was that bet…

The Relative Autonomy of Culture in Alexander's Cultural Sociology
This article offers a critical discussion of the concept of the 'relative autonomy of culture' that is central to Jeffrey C. Alexander's cultural sociology. It shows that, in Alexander's work, the relative autonomy of culture is conceptualised in two different ways: first, as an analytical autonomy that is part of a multidimensional model of social action, and second, as the formal autonomy of a semiotic system that dominates in the more cultural…
From Reflections on Post-Communism to Perspectives on Europeanization
Political science is a young discipline in post-Communist countries by virtue of the fact that it was not allowed to set roots and grow under Communist author itarianism. The level of ideological control in different Central and Eastern European societies varied, but everywhere the analysis of political life was one of the last reserved areas of official ideology to be ceded to free and unbiased aca demic scrutiny. The full development and instit…
