Popular Culture and High Culture: An Analysis and Evaluation of Taste
The Survival of a Counterculture: Ideological Work and Everyday Life Among Rural Communards
The Survival of a Counterculture is a lively, engaging look into the ways communards, or people who live in communes, maintain, modify, use, and otherwise live with their convictions while they attempt to get through the problems of everyday life. Communal families shape their norms to the circumstances they live with, just as on a larger scale nations and major institutions also shape their ideologies to the pressures of circumstance they feel. …

Structuralisme et volontarisme en sociologie de la culture
Du point de vue structuraliste (ou déterministe) en sociologie de la culture, le comportement symbolique de l'homme apparaît comme l'expression ou le résultat des contraintes liées aux positions des individus et des groupes dans la structure sociale. Le volontarisme conçoit par contre la culture moins comme le reflet de ces contraintes sociales que comme un ensemble d'outils ou de ressources symboliques que l'on peut utiliser pour faire face à de…

The result of thirty-five years of thought and research on culture by one of the best and most literate writers in sociology, this wide-ranging review of the meaning and study of culture is Bennett Berger at his best. Drawing on his unsurpassed knowledge of the scholarly literature and on his wealth of personal experience, Berger reviews and synthesizes recent work in cultural sociology from a materialist perspective.

Générations, politique, culture. Les années soixante américaines
Bennett Berger, Generations, Politics and Culture : The 1960s in the United States The notion of generation is not as useful in the analysis of social movements as that of generational unit. Generational units are formed out of the ranks of the elites of a particular age group ; they then compete in the formation of generational identity. The confusion between age cohorts and the effects they produce has been caused in part by neo-freudians like …

Man, Play, and Games
According to Roger Caillois, play is occasion of pure waste: waste of time, energy, ingenuity, skill, and often of money. In spite of this - or because of it - play constitutes an essential element of human social and spiritual development.In this classic study, Caillois defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life. Play is uncertain, since the outcome may not be foreseen,…

On the Decline of Age Grading in Rural Hippie Communes 1
Ethnographic data from a study of rural hippie communes suggest a clear attenuation of the normative differences usually ascribed to children on the grounds of their age. The participation of children in drug use and sex, as well as their autonomy in the settlement of their disputes, are cited as examples of this decline in age grading. Interpretations are offered of the ways in which this equalitarian conception of children is systematically sus…
