Summary: Traditionally social science treated culture as a peripheral issue, but the last twenty years have witnessed a cultural turn throughout the social sciences. Culture is now at the core of debate. Culture and Economy After the Cultural Turn examines the implications of the cultural turn for the social sciences in relation to the decline of interest in economic aspects of society. It presents a number of responses to the changing relationship between culture and economy, and to the way in which the cultural turn has sought to understand it. Contributors from a wide range of disciplines present differing views on these matters in relation to issues of political sensibilities and movements, equality and recognition, 'culture management', class, ethnicity and gender, and cultural values. This challenging book provides a clear and accessible account of what the cultural turn means. lt will be recommended reading for students of Culture Studies, Sociology, Political Economy, Politics and Organization Studies.
