An Essay on Culture – Symbolic Structure & Social Structure: Symbolic Structure and Social Structure - Hardcover
Synopsis
Drawing on scholarship and personal experience, Berger here reviews and synthesizes recent work in cultural sociology from a materialist perspective. His essay culminates in a call for an empirical research programme focused on the relation between symbolic choices and social locations, rather than on interpretive accounts of the meanings of texts or performances.
