Realism and Relativism: Truth and Objectivity
Although the doctrine of relativism has a lengthy pedigree in philosophy – conventionally traced to the fifth‐century bce sophist Protagoras and his “man is the measure of all things” – it was only in the twentieth century that its full force was unleashed. The “linguistic turn,” the “cultural turn,” and the “postmodern turn” all brought with them profoundly relativistic claims. Late twentieth‐century thought sought to relativize aesthetics, ethi…
Falsification
The concept of falsification is indelibly marked by the methodological doctrine of falsificationism, associated above all with the work of Karl Popper. He first developed the elements of his position in the early 1920s as part of a project to establish a logically defensible criterion of scientificity, culminating in the publication of Logik der Forschung (later translated as The Logic of Scientific Discovery ) in 1934. Falsifiability emerged as …
Induction and Observation in Science
One of the most persistent commonsense accounts of science is that in which scientists are understood to assemble observations systematically and to arrive at reliable generalizations based on them. Sometimes, wrongly, this simple inductive‐empiricist view is laid at the door of Francis Bacon (1561–1626) and dubbed “Baconian inductivism.” In fact, Bacon's views were considerably more complex than this, but the hare that he set running – inductive…
Beyond Empiricism: Philosophy of Science in Sociology
Originally published in 1982. This volume explores some features of modern philosophy of science from the point of view of their utility for sociology’s self-understanding. Recently philosophers of science have broken with the empiricism once fundamental to their discipline, and have sought alternative methods of science. Founded on the belief that these developments are significant for sociologists, the book explores the failings of the old "rec…
Dangerous, divine, and marvelous? The legacy of the 1960s in the political cinema of Europe and Brazil
The experience of the 1960s had a profound influence on both politicized cinema and on the critical discourse surrounding it. This article explores that influence and its subsequent legacy in the comparative contexts of Brazil and Europe. In Europe the most striking developments were to be seen in France after 1968, most particularly in the “revolutionary cinema” of Jean-Luc Godard during his involvement with the Dziga-Vertov Group. At the same t…

Constructing (Film) Art: Bourdieu's Field Model in a Comparative Context
In this paper we seek to apply Bourdieu's approach to consecration, legitimacy and autonomization in the fields of art to the struggle to legitimize film as art.We examine the efficacy of Bourdieu's theory in relation to the early 'film-as-art' campaign as it received institutional expression in the profoundly different economic, social and cultural circumstances of Brazil and Britain in the 1920s and 1930s. After tracing the broad history of fil…
A (Macro) Sociology of Fear
A proper sociological approach to fear is of both empirical and theoretical significance in understanding late modern society. Normally fear has been explored psychologically, as one of the emotions, but recently a sociology of emotions has begun to emerge. Furthermore, there have also been attempts to examine fear macro-scopically, arguing for the existence of a distinctive 'culture of fear' in contemporary societies. Furedi's argument to this e…

Doing Cultural Studies: The Story of the Sony Walkman
What does the Walkman have to do with the 21st century? The long-awaited second edition of this classic textbook takes students on a journey between past and present, giving them the skills do to cultural analysis along the way. Through the notion of the 'circuit of culture', this book teaches students to critically examine what culture means, and how and why it is enmeshed with the media texts and objects in their lives. Students will: - gain pr…
Why Horror? The Peculiar Pleasures of a Popular Genre
What is the appeal of horror? Various attempts have been made to answer this question, generally combining arguments about the nature of horror texts with arguments about the distinctive character of horror consumers. The most common attempts at general explanation are grounded in concepts drawn from psychoanalytic theory, some depending quite directly on Freud's 'return of the repressed' argument in his discussion of 'the uncanny', others utiliz…

Them and Us: Story and Stereotype in TV World Cup Coverage
British television coverage of the 1990 soccer World Cup provides a context in which to explore some of the ways in which television seeks to construct coherent narratives about ongoing events. In telling such stories television draws upon distinctive narrative strategies and on extensive reservoirs of stereotypes. This is seen in elementary form in the techniques by which television commentary defines and develops particular `characters', and mo…

The Third World and International Stratification: Theoretical Considerations and Research Findings
In recent years the rank-dimensional approach to the analysis of social stratification has become increasingly prominent. One of its advocates, Johan Galtung, has made relations between nations his major point of empirical reference. The present paper applies rank-dimensional analysis to the deprived nations of Africa and Asia (or the so-called Third World) in an attempt to grasp the degree of rank homogeneity within the group and to relate its r…
