Introducing Cultural Studies
This updated, new edition of Introducing Cultural Studies provides a systematic and comprehensible introduction to the concepts, debates and latest research in the field. Reinforcing the interdisciplinary nature of Cultural Studies, the authors first guide the reader through cultural theory before branching out to examine different dimensions of culture in detail – including globalisation, the body, geography, fashion, and politics. Incorporating…
Introducing Cultural Studies
A rapidly changing world – in part driven by huge transformations in technology and mobility - means we all encounter shifting cultures, and new cultural and social interactions daily. Powerful forces such as consumption and globalization exert an enormous influence on all walks and levels of life across both space and time. Cultural Studies remains at the vanguard of consideration of these issues. This completely revised second edition of Introd…
Cultural Change and Ordinary Life
Local Habitus and Working-Class Culture
INTRODUCTION: Pregnancy is a crucial period which ultimately directly impacts two individuals health and wellbeing. Within the UK, a standardised pattern of care is established with collaborations across disciplines to the benefit of women and babies. During the COVID19 pandemic, this pattern of care was disrupted to align with protective protocols which until now, has not been formally reported. METHODS: A retrospective, mixed methods study of U…
Globalization and Belonging
Drawing on long-term empirical research into cultural practices lifestyle and identities, this volume explores how far-reaching global changes are articulated locally. The authors address key sociological issues of stratification as analysis alongside 'cultural' issues of identity, difference, choice and lifestyle
Audiences, museums and the English middle class
The increasingly accepted way to analyse any media product is to consider production, text and audience processes. In a deceptively simple way, a television programme, for example, can be examined in the institutional, social and political context in which it is produced and with respect to the organizational framework that provides its immediate production environment. Second, its textual structures and strategies can be analysed using different…
The Exclusiveness of the Political Field
This paper applies social network analysis to three case study social movement organizations based in the north of England: a local Labour Party branch, an environmental group, and a conservation group. Using a postal survey of members, we chart the extent of ties between members of these three groups, indicating how each group has its own internal social dynamics and characteristics that are related to the nature of the movement organizations th…
Trends in Social Capital
This Note uses the British Household Panel Study (BHPS) to consider the changing volume and distribution of voluntary association membership (and hence social capital) in Great Britain. We aim to supplement Hall's study of trends in social capital published in this Journal with more recent and longitudinal data. This allows us to show that whilst the volume of social capital is not declining, it is becoming increasingly class specific, and that i…
Children, Belonging and Social Capital
This paper uses data gathered from an ESRC funded research project on social networks, social capital and lifestyle to provide an account of narratives of belonging and social involvement. Drawing on data from 88 in-depth interviews carried out in the North-West of England between 1997 and 1999, we identify how parental involvement in voluntary organizations connected to their children, such as Parent Teachers Associations (PTA), figures in middl…

Consuming the Car
Drawing on evidence from a recently conducted study of the everyday lives of young people in Manchester, UK, this article considers the place of cars in contemporary youth culture. The article acknowledges the recent beginnings of sociological and social science discussion of cars but concurs with the view that this topic has been much neglected. More specifically the study of young people and personal mobility has been constrained by approaches …

Ordinary, Ambivalent and Defensive
This paper uses data gathered from an ESRC funded research project on social networks, social capital and lifestyle to provide an account of contemporary class identities derived from 178 in-depth interviews carried out in the Manchester area between 1997 and 1999. We use this data to unpack the ambivalent nature of contemporary class identities. We argue that despite the diversity of the sample, a number of common elements characterize people's …
Audiences
Medical and pharmacological advancements have influenced the ability to treat acutely ill neonates. However, complications of prematurity mean that death is unpreventable in some cases. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ lived experiences of end of life care and their perceptions of support needs during and following the death of their baby in neonatal intensive care units in the United Kingdom. A qualitative interpretative phenomenolo…
Gender and Prison Organisation
The paper explores the significance of some contemporary writing on masculinities to the management of male prisons. It argues that the incorporation of gender into discussions of imprisonment is an important development, but that there has been a tendency to focus on prisoners rather than prisons as organisations. Drawing on work which has emphasised the gendered nature of contemporary organisation structure and struggles, the paper examines int…

Social Class, Consumption and the Influence of Bourdieu
Bourdieu's work has been an important point of departure for recent analyses of the relationship between social class and consumption practices. This chapter takes stock of Bourdieu's influence and explores some problems which have become apparent-often in spite of Bourdieu's own hopes and general views. We point to the way that Bourdieu's influence has led to an approach to consumption which focuses on the consumption practices of specific occup…

Popular music and society
The book examines the ways in which popular music is produced, structured as text, and understood and used by audiences. It includes overviews and critiques of general theories, outlines of the most important empirical studies, and data on the contemporary production and consumption of popular music. Drawing on the theories of Adorno and Weber, Longhurst examines the contemporary organization of the music industry, the social production of music,…

Realism, Naturalism and Television Soap Opera
This paper argues that the concept of soap-opera realism, as developed in some of the recent critical writing on soap opera, is central to the understanding of this form of television drama. However, in its present form, this concept is insufficiently nuanced. In developing the concept, the work of Raymond Williams is drawn upon to delineate three sub-types of soap-opera realism: soap-opera realism in the subjunctive mode, soap-opera realism in t…

Mannheim's Soul
We present a GPU-based turbulent flow simulation by link-wise artificial compressibility method (LW-ACM). The standard implementations of the lattice Boltzmann method are limited by memory requirements due to the nature of the distribution functions employed. LW-ACM avoids the need to store the density distribution function via the use of a hybrid of LBM and finite difference method. This method, previously used only for simple cases without inle…

Karl Mannheim. The Development of His Thought
On Interpretation
This note argues that interpretation in sociology should be guided by some of the recent work of structuralist and post-structuralist analysts of culture and literature. It briefly examines previous analyses of Mannheim in this light and seeks to build on the earlier discussions of Mannheim published in Theory, Culture & Society
Text and Context
One of the main contentions of this book is that Mannheim’s most important contribution to sociological understanding is the detailed sociology of knowledge which he developed in Germany in the mid-to late 1920s. However, this perspective can only be properly understood in the context of the unfolding of his thought as a whole which, in turn, can only be fully comprehended against the background of political and intellectual trends of the period.…
Conclusion
In this book I have derived a framework for the contemporary sociology of knowledge from an analysis of Karl Mannheim. I have argued that Mannheim’s work is of central relevance to the study of knowledge in contemporary society. Such an approach differs from other recent accounts of Mannheim which have tended to remain on a relatively exegetical level or argue for his relevance in rather general philosophical or political terms. 1 These studies a…
Problems in Mannheim’s Work
In the first part of this book I set out the main elements of Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge and in the course of doing so introduced some of the fundamental issues in the sociology of knowledge. In this chapter I discuss the major problems in Mannheim’s work. In general I argue that few of the conventional criticisms expose serious flaws in Mannheim’s perspective, and that much contemporary writing in the sociology of knowledge and sociology …
Mannheim and the Sociology of Knowledge Today
In this book so far I have outlined Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge, the criticisms made of it by other writers and the central points of my own critique. My main interest is in the detailed sociology of knowledge which he developed in Germany between 1924 and 1929. However, as I have argued, this approach can only be understood in the context of Mannheim’s work as a whole. Hence, chapter 1 examined the corpus of Mannheim’s writings, locating t…
Mannheim’s Sociology of Knowledge
In this chapter Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge is analysed more closely. I concentrate on his work from ‘The Problem of a Sociology of Knowledge’ to Ideology and Utopia. However, as Mannheim’s thought is, in the broad sense, a development of core themes, the presentation of the sociology of knowledge also involves drawing on some of his other writings when these clarify his more specific ideas. In any sociology of knowledge there are, as Merto…
