Bourdieu, Cultural Intermediaries and Good Housekeeping 's George Marek: A case study of middlebrow musical taste
This article explores the nexus of class, gender, and musical taste for the white middle-class family in the USA from the late 1940s through the mid-1950s. Cultural intermediaries in the western concert music field embraced an upper-middlebrow aesthetic and, in the anomic age of the reconversion era, buttressed the symbolic boundaries of whiteness for their middle-class readership. Using Bourdieu's work on fields and taste, I examine the represen…
Consumption, Masculinities and
Masculinities and consumption refer to the gendered sense of self constituted through the use of goods and services in the leisure time and spaces of modern life in the West. In markets of goods, hobbies, and sexual practices, individual choice is delimited by the social structure of gender, and these markets provide the symbolic boundaries for the practical embodiment of different masculinities. Masculinities here is offered in the plural, to em…
The Habitus of Dancing: Notes on the Swing Dance Revival in New York City
This article uses Bourdieu's cultural framework to analyze the social determinants and internal logic of a swing dance field in New York City. Using habitus, field, hexis, and cultural capital, the author offers an ethnographic analysis of how former members of punk subcultures transposed their durable, familial-based dispositions into the swing dance field. Likewise, this article explores the homologies between the fields of punk and swing and e…
Digital Desire in the Daydream Machine
This article analyzes the sociality of illegal file sharing as one domain of teletechnology, using poststructural theory to conceptualize the file-sharing setting. It reveals the assumptions about file sharing in popular media, and demonstrates how the persis-tence of illegal file sharing across racial, economic, and status lines might be attrib-uted to psychological and neurophysiological causes. To conclude, I consider the implications of posts…
Ralph Ellison's Sociological Imagination
This article investigates how the theoretical frameworks of Hegel, Marx, and Freud inform Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, and it highlights the novel's exploration of sociological concepts such as alienation, freedom, and the unconscious. I will consider Ellison's emergence as a writer and explore how the formal and the thematic variations of the novel are informed by the concepts of dialectics, being, and labor (Hegel and Marx), and psychic struc…
Theses on Sleater-Kinney
Marx wrote the 'Theses on Feuerbach' in 1845 in preparation for The German Ideology, which he coauthored with Friedrich Engels. Engels only discovered the 'Theses' after Marx's death, and he regarded them to be 'the brilliant germ of the new world outlook.' In postmodernity, outlooks are certainly less sweeping. This article offers a set of cultural materialist theses on the sound of the all-female rock trio, Sleater-Kinney, in a dialogue often f…

I Sing the Body Realpolitik
L'A fait part dans ces ecrits de ses sentiments concernant le monde politique americain et l'ideologie du pouvoir
Exhuming and Slaying Adorno
Autoethnography allows the sociologist the ultimate hermeneutic method: the ability to tease out the nuanced structure of unconscious desire. The author theorizes desire here as a driving force that informs the symbolic work of everyday life. To explore subjectivity, desire, and the patriarchal family, the author juxtaposes memory and social theory, extending and embodying a theoretical conflict that informed the work of Theodor Adorno and Walter…
