Struggling with distinction: How and why people switch between cultural hierarchy and equality
In research on cultural taste and distinction, inconsistent and ambivalent attitudes towards hierarchy versus equality have largely been ignored. This study shows, by means of in-depth interviews with 90 Dutch people on their own and others’ cultural tastes, that both a hierarchical and an egalitarian repertoire appear in people’s narratives, and that these repertoires are often used simultaneously. People still distinguish culturally from others…
Driving in a dead-end street: Critical remarks on Andrew Abbott's Processual Sociology
In his book Processual Sociology (2016), Andrew Abbott proposes a radically new theoretical perspective for sociology. This review essay discusses the strengths and weaknesses of his "processual" approach, in comparison with other dynamic perspectives in sociology such as, in particular, Norbert Elias's "process sociology." It critically questions central ideas and arguments advanced in this book: the reduction of social processes to "events," th…

The sociogenesis of postmodernism
The article purports to describe and explain the emergence and development of postmodernism as a multi-faceted cultural movement. Data on numbers of publications are presented to show the expansion of postmodernism and shifts in relative attention to various topics. The explanation focuses on processes in three interconnected cultural fields-the artistic, the intellectual and the academic-, which were influenced by wider social transformations
Increasing income inequality and wealth concentration in the prosperous societies of the west
Images of national character
An examination of European and national identity
