SOC2065 — Sociology of Culture
SOC 2065 - Sociology of Culture SOC 2065 - Sociology of Culture This class will introduce students to sociological study of culture. We will start by discussing important theoretical perspectives (culture as system of classification, as an instrument of power, as linked to social positions, as a product of social interaction, as a system of signs) and then move on to specific empirical topics (artistic production; culture and organization; identity). The last part of the course will explore the cultural differences of “American” culture. Throughout the semester, we will use empirical examples when studying themes such as gentrification, innovation, high-technology capitalism, and inequality.
