New Urban Sociology
The concept of a “new urban sociology” refers to a paradigm shift in urban sociology that began in the 1970s and established a dominant approach. This approach emphasizes Marxist and post‐Marxist urban political economy (class, race, gender, agenda‐setting major businesses in commerce, banking, and real estate, and the involvement of government officials at all levels in influencing, if not determining, the outcomes of social activities in settle…

Socio-semiotics and the new mega spaces of tourism: Some comments on Las Vegas and Dubai
“Mega” tourist spaces are named as such because of both their physical scale, which encompasses many square miles of land, and their economic scale of billion dollar investments and profit-making. The paper examines two of the most prominent examples — Las Vegas, Nevada, and Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. Tourist locations seek to differentiate themselves using signs that distinguish one place from another through the symbolic mechanism of th…

Oh No! Not Another Dichotomy: Reply to Kivisto
Kivisto's comment is written in a didactic voice-I could done this, should analyzed that. This kind of response is best suited to the classroom. Any published text possesses its own integrity. The issue is what I did say. The purpose of my paper was to reiterate certain areas of scholarship that can be fruitfully brought to bear on issues raised by postmodernism. In the past I have been dismayed at the handling of contemporary social theory by so…
A Marx for Our Time: Henri Lefebvre and the Production of Space
Henri Lefebvre, who died last year at an age between 86 to 89 (the records aren't clear), was perhaps the greatest Marxian thinker since Marx, and certainly one of the greatest philosophers of our time. Sociologists can appreciate significance by realizing that what they know of Marx's work itself is quite limited. The latter has been homogenized and simplified by generations of textbook writing and misleading scholarship.' To understand Marx it …
Ideology, Foundationalism, and Sociological Theory
The issue of foundationalism and the growing irrelvance of sociological metatheorizing to the understanding of contemporary society is considered from the perspective of postmodernism. Foundationalism is treated as a form of ideology. Changes in the analysis of ideology are discussed briefly and the postmodern approach to the critique of grand narratives, or logocentrism, is introduced. Two meta-narratives, neofunctionalism and conflict theory, a…

Hegemony and Mass Culture: A Semiotic Approach
The analysis of mass culture involves a three-way relationship among cultural objects, their industrial producers, and social groups of users (i.e., the mass audience). Approaches to mass culture neglect the interrelationships between these separate analytical levels. This article brings out his three-way relationship in its full dialectical complexity by applying a semiotic approach to meaning as it is created, communicated, and ideologically ma…

Characteristics of Support for Local Growth Control
It is often contended that support for local limitations on residential development results from the demands of the affluent, who wish to ensure limited access to their communities. This contention, along with alternative explanations of local growth-control support, are examined. The article explores empirical dimensions of support for elect orally induced control of residential development. A major finding, which utilizes a discriminant functio…

The Paradigm Shift in Urban Sociology
Three discussions recently published by mainstreamers arguing the virtues of the more orthodox ecological perspective are answered by systematically evaluating two distinct theoretical paradigms that oppose each other, namely, urban ecology and the new urban sociology. Three points of contrast are used to demonstrate the explanatory superiority of the new urban theory that better helps us understand central city change, suburbanization, and the s…
