Edited by three leading cultural sociologists, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Handbook of Cultural Sociology\u003c\/em\u003e presents the full theoretical and methodological vitality of this critically significant new area.The Handbook gathers together works by authors confronting the crucial choices all cultural sociologists face today: about analytic priorities, methods, topics, epistemologies, ideologies, and even modes of writing. It is a vital collection of preeminent thinkers studying the ways in which culture, society, politics, and economy interact in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOrganized by empirical areas of study rather than particular theories or competing intellectual strands, the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e addresses power, politics, and states; economics and organization; mass media; social movements; religion; aesthetics; knowledge; and health.
