The End of Symbolic Exclusion? The Rise of "Categorical Tolerance" in the Musical Tastes of Americans: 1993 -- 2012
Omar Lizardo, Sara Skiles Sociological Science, February 11, 2016 DOI 10.15195/v3.a5 Abstract In this article, we aim to contribute to recent work in the sociology of taste on the role of cultural dislikes as resources for symbolic exclusion and identity construction
Cultural Objects as Prisms: Perceived Audience Composition of Musical Genres as a Resource for Symbolic Exclusion
The hypothesis that cultural likes and dislikes are driven by the perceived connections between genres and their audiences is a foundational premise of sociological studies of cultural taste. However, to date the operation of this mechanism has been only indirectly inferred but never directly assessed empirically. To address this gap, the authors leverage unique data on the cultural tastes of a representative sample of Americans containing inform…
Musical taste and patterns of symbolic exclusion in the United States 1993-2012: Generational dynamics of differentiation and continuity
Reconceptualizing and Theorizing 'Omnivorousness: Genetic and Relational Mechanisms
Scores of sociological studies have provided evidence for the association between broad cultural taste, or omnivorousness, and various status characteristics, such as education, occupation, and age.

Highbrow omnivorousness on the small screen
Cultural Consumption in the Fine and Popular Arts Realms
In this paper, we review recent sociological research dealing with the consumption of culture produced in the fine and popular arts realms. Most of the initial theoretical developments in the study of culture consumption were intended to explain audience segmentation in the fine arts realm under the ‘cultural capital’ paradigm developed by Pierre Bourdieu. This paradigm shift has led to the current dominance of the ‘omnivore thesis’ in the sociol…
