The Outsider’s Edge
Outsider status, especially multiple social marginalities, usually constitutes a burden. Certain combinations can be advantageous for cultural producers, however, especially when geographic marginality is part of the mix. The Local Color movement demonstrates the outsider’s edge. In mid‐nineteenth century in America, print technology, reduced postal rates, and mass literacy led to the golden age of magazines. Their readers sought stories about th…
Bearing Witness
Formal capacities and relational understandings
In considering the uses of literature for the sociologist, we recognize that literature, art, and sociology all depict relationships. Producers (authors, artists, sociologists) craft relationships into cultural objects (novels, paintings, monographs); thereupon, receivers (readers, viewers) draw or infer relationships from these objects; producers, objects, receivers mutually construct and reconstruct one another over time. Literature, art, and s…

Culture troubles
Glamour and Honor
In the fragile reading cultures of the developing world, will people abandon print as they embrace the Internet? Whether media compete or collaborate depends on place-specific factors. West Africans insert online practices into a local context of material circumstances, social roles, and cultural values. In Nigeria and Ghana these include (1) unreliable electricity and execrable telephone service; (2) overworked women, jobless young men, scammers…

Cowbirds, Locals, and the Dynamic Endurance of Regionalism
Regional cultures, far from atrophying in the face of national and global cultural circuits, are both enduring and reproducing themselves. This is not just due to locals holding fast to their traditions but to cosmopolitans becoming knowledgeable about the culture of place as part of their ongoing identity construction. Results from Survey2000, an online survey conducted by the National Geographic Society, show the processes that are maintaining …

Bearing Witness
The Ideas of the Reading Class
The future of the book depends on the future of the class. The future of the class does not depend on the future of a culture. However, when a class persists in the absence of a culture, its influence is circumscribed. This ought to worry sociologists accustomed to converse with one another and with the wider world through the medium of books. A class is defined by socio-economic indicators including, but not limited to, relationship to the means…

The History and Power of Writing
This study is the story of from its very beginnings to its recent transformations through technology. Traversing four millennia, Martin offers a chronicle of as a cultural system, a means of communication and a history of technologies. He shows how the written word originated, how it spread and how it figured in the evolution of civilization. Using as his centre the role of printing in making the written way of thinking dominant, Martin examines …
The Fabrication of Meaning
This study, an investigation of how human beings make cultural works meaningful, compares the different meanings that readers from the West Indies, Britain, and the United States constructed from a single source, the fiction of Barbadian novelist George Lamming. The socially shared presuppositions they brought to their reading caused West Indian reviewers to interpret Lamming's novels as involving questions of personal and national identity, Brit…
A Methodological Framework for the Sociology of Culture
Drawing on analytic techniques from the humanities and social sciences, I propose a framework for research in the sociology of culture that is both sczentific and sensitive to the particular characteristics of cultural data. In this paper, I maintain that to be complete and persuasive, cultural analysis must include (1) the intentions of creative agents, (2) the reception of cultural objects over time and space, (3) the comprehension of cultural …
The Writing on the Mud Wall
Imagining community, a process madefamiliar in BenedictAnderson's analysis of historical rise of idea of the nation, informs an understanding of local communities as well. Using characteristics of Nigerian village novel and literary system underlying this genre, I show how a common picture of African rural life before and after colonial encounter has been molded by exigencies of literary production. A popular remnant of social science's old tradi…
American Character and the American Novel
Attempting to specify how literature "reflects" society, this study describes the analysis of a random sample of 130 novels published in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Novels by Americans are compared with those by foreign authors over four time periods. The sample novels reflect the different market positions occupied by the two groups of authors owing to the presence or absence of international copyright protec…
Recent Moves in the Sociology of Literature
Building on earlier work in the production of culture, reception aesthetics, and cultural capital, sociology of literature research during the past few years has concentrated on readers' construction of meaning and on networks within literary systems. New directions include studying the relationship between literature and group identities; connecting institutional and reader-response analyses; reintroducing the role of authorial intentionality; a…

The Sociology of Culture
As recently as fifteen years ago, work in the sociology of culture took place in relative isolation. The field consisted of a handful of individuals roaming around like a scattered clan of hunter-gatherers, investigating such phenomena as the cultural practices of poor people, the system of literary reference, the values of revolutionaries, the structure of popular movies, or the organization of art markets. Such investigations, generally animate…

Renaissance Revivals
Revivals examines patterns in the London revivals of two English Renaissance theatre genres over the past four centuries. Griswold's focus on revenge tragedies and city comedies illuminates the ongoing interaction between society and its cultural products. No cultural object is ever created anew, she argues, but is instead constructed from existing cultural genres and conventions, the visions and professional needs of the artist, and the interest…
