Colin Campbell shows how fashion and the addiction to novelty, the crucial features of modern patterns of consumption, have their cultural origins in sentimentalism and the spirit of Romanticism, systems of belief which with their ethos of hedonism and pleasure-seeking reversed the Protestant ethic. Toward a Sociology of Irreligion. Easternization of the West: The myth of social action. Routledge international handbook of the sociology of art and culture.

The Routledge Handbook of the Sociology of Arts and Culture offers a comprehensive overview of the sociology of art and culture, focusing especially, though not exclusively, on the visual arts, literature, music, and digital culture. The Handbook critiques modes of sociological determinism in which cultural engagement is seen as the simple product of the educated middle classes. The contributions explore the critique of Eurocentrism and the global and cosmopolitan dimensions of cultural life. This handbook not only describes the field but also proposes an agenda for its development which will command major international interest.

Since its inception, the European Convention on Human Rights has been a beacon of hope to gay men and lesbians in Europe. An Oral History of Sexual Orientation Discrimination and the European Convention on Human Rights provides a comprehensive account of how individuals in the United Kingdom have utilized the Convention, by way of making applications to its organs in Strasbourg in order to challenge sexual orientation discrimination. Combining an exhaustive analysis of Strasbourg case law with nineteen unique oral histories of applicants, legal professionals, and campaigners, this book is the definitive history of the role that 'going to Strasbourg' has played in eradicating discrimination and establishing legal equality on the grounds of sexual orientation in the UK.

Law, religion and homosexuality. The uses of DNA in police investigations. The extradition of terror suspects reveals the worst features of the security state.

Fahad Hashmi was deported a few years before. Abid Naseer and Haroon Aswat would follow shortly. They were subject to pre-trial incarceration for up to seventeen years, police brutality, secret trials, secret evidence, long-term detention in solitary confinement, citizenship deprivation and more. Deport, Deprive, Extradite draws on their stories as starting points to explore what they illuminate about the disciplinary features of state power and its securitising conditions.

In looking at these stories of Muslim men accused of terrorism-related offences, Nisha Kapoor exposes how these racialised subjects are dehumanised, made non-human, both in terms of how they are represented and via the disciplinary techniques used to expel them. She explores how these cases illuminate and enable intensifying authoritarianism and the diminishment of democratic systems.

The state of race. In The State of Race. The gene, the clinic, and the family: Joanna Latimer, whose groundbreaking ethnography on acute medicine gave us the social science classic The Conduct of Care, moves her focus from the bedside to the clinic in this in-depth study of genetic medicine.

Against current thinking that proselytises the rise of laboratory science, Professor Latimer shows how the genetic clinic is at the heart of the revolution in the new genetics.

Tracing how work on the abnormal in an embryonic genetic science, dysmorphology, is changing our thinking about the normal, The Gene, the Clinic, and the Family charts new understandings about family, procreation and choice. Social Mobility for the 21st Century: Social Mobility for the 21st Century addresses experiences of social mobility, and the detailed processes through which entrenched, inter-generationally transmitted privilege is reproduced.

Gender, modernity and male migrant workers in China: Becoming a modern man. Young citizens in the digital age: Political engagement, young people and new media. Low voter turnout among year olds is not proof that young people are not interested in politics but is evidence that they are becoming politically socialized within a new media environment. This shift poses a significant challenge to politicians who increasingly have to respond to a technologically mediated lifestyle politics that celebrates lifestyle diversity, personal disclosure and celebrity.

Urbanization and the Migrant in British Cinema: Spectres of the City. This book examines a cycle of films about migration made in the late s and s. It argues that these films present a novel and radical aesthetic of planetary urbanization based upon the mobility of the migrant and the dissolution of the city.

The author demonstrates that this particular film cycle offers a rare, sustained consideration of the travails and struggles for urban life by migrants beyond and without the city. Yet the city haunts these films like a spectre: Offering new insights into the cinematic portrayal of the figure of the migrant and how this is constructed in relation to urbanization processes, this book will appeal to students and scholars of sociology, film and media studies, human geography, and urban studies. Crime, deviance and culture. This book focuses upon the breaking of rules and taboos involved in 'doing crime', including violent crime as represented in fictive texts and ethnographic research.

It includes chapters on topics of urgent contemporary interest such as asylum seekers, sex work, serial killers, school shooters, crimes of poverty and understandings of 'madness'. Sex work, policy and politics. Men, Mascultinity, and Mediated Intimacy. Within the so-called 'seduction community', the ability to meet and attract women is understood as a skill heterosexual men can cultivate through practical training and personal development.

As a cultural formation it has been the object of media speculation, and frequent sensationalism, for over a decade, but remains poorly understood. In the first book-length study of this fascinating community-industry, Rachel O'Neill takes us into the world of seduction seminars, training events, instructional guidebooks and video tutorials. Going beyond established understandings of 'pickup artists' as pathetic, pathological, or perverse, she examines what makes the industry so compelling for those drawn into its folds.

Based on detailed ethnographic fieldwork, Seduction vividly portrays how the twin rationalities of neoliberalism and post-feminism are reorganising contemporary intimate life, as labour-intensive and profit-orientated modes of sociality consume other forms of being and relating.
