Description:	Cultural sociology is widely acknowledged as one of the most vibrant areas of inquiry in the social sciences across the world today. The Palgrave Macmillan Series in Cultural Sociology is dedicated to the proposition that deep meanings make a profound difference in social life. Culture is not simply the glue that holds society together, a crutch for the weak, or a mystifying ideology that conceals power. Nor is it just practical knowledge, dry schemas, or know how. The series demonstrates how shared and circulatingpatternsofmeaningactivelyandinescapablypenetratethesocial. Throughcodes andmyths, narrativesandicons, ritualsand representations, these culture structures drive human action, inspire social movements, direct and build institutions, and so come to shape history. The series takesitsleadfromtheculturalturninthehumanities,butinsistsonrigorous social science methods and aims at empirical explanations. Contributions engage in thick interpretations but also account for behavioral outcomes. They develop cultural theory but also deploy middle-range tools to challenge reductionist understandings of how the world actually works. In so doing, the books in this series embody the spirit of cultural sociology as an intellectual enterprise
