David Inglis & Anna-Mari Almila 
The SAGE Handbook of Cultural Sociology 

Cultural sociology – or the sociology of culture - has grown from a minority interest in the 1970s to become one of the largest and most vibrant areas within sociology globally. In 
The SAGE Handbook of Cultural Sociology, a global range of experts explore the theory, methodology and innovations that make up this ever-expanding field.

The Handbook′s 40 original chapters have been organised into five thematic sections:

• Theoretical Paradigms


• Major Methodological Perspectives


• Domains of Inquiry


• Cultural Sociology in Contexts


• Cultural Sociology and Other Analytical Approaches

Both comprehensive and current,  
The SAGE Handbook of Cultural Sociology will be an essential reference tool for both advanced students and scholars across sociology, cultural studies and media studies.
