Summary: With the 'cultural turn', the concept of culture has assumed enormous importance in our understanding of the interrelations between social, political and economic structures, patterns of everyday interaction, and systems of meaning-making. In The SAGE Handbook of Cultural Analysis, the leading figures in their fields explore the implications of this paradigm shift and the debates - for and against - that in has occasioned. Part I looks at the major disciplines and interdisciplinary traditions in the humanities and social sciences, asking how they have been reshaped by the cultural turn and how they have elaborated distinctive new objects of knowledge. Parts II examines how perspective from these have been combined and applied in the analysis of some of the more pressing cultural issues of our time. Part III examine the relations between research theory and practice across the various methodologies - qualitative and quantitative - that have contributed to the development of contemporary forms of cultural analysis. Addressed to academics and advanced students in all fields of the social sciences and humanities, The SAGE Handbook of Cultural Analysis is both a synthesis of advances in the field, with a comprehensive coverage of the scholarly literature, and a collection of original and provocative essays by some of the brightest intellectuals of our time.
