“Culture and Method.” One More Product of Cultural Sociological Factory

Abstract

The book under consideration (Meaning and Method: The Cultural Approach to Sociology / ed. by I. Reed and J. C. Alexander. Boulder: Paradigm Publishers, 2009) is a collection of papers published by Yale school of cultural sociology. The book attempts to provide methodological grounds of cultural sociology. It is argued that, while theoretically strong program is declared as a relevant framework, empirical research still inclines to so-called weak program of sociology of culture.
