The European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology
Official Journal of the European Sociological Association
http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/recp20#.UkbVphbQllI
The study of culture is the fastest growing area in both European and
North American sociology. After years of mild neglect, political sociology
is also re-establishing itself as a central plank of the discipline. The
European Journal of Cultural and Political Sociology aims to be a forum
not so much for these fields of study considered separately, as for any
work that explores the relationship between culture and politics through a
sound sociological lens. The journal takes an ecumenical view of
`culture´: it welcomes articles that address the political setting,
resonance or use of any of the arts (literature, art, music etc.), but it
is also open to work that construes political phenomena in terms of a more
philosophical or anthropological understanding of culture, where culture
refers to the most general problem of meaning-formation. As for work that
lies between these poles, it might address the relationship between
politics and religion in all its forms, political symbolism past and
present, styles of political leadership, political communication, the
culture of political parties and movements, cultural policy, artists as
political agents, and many other related areas. The journal is not
committed to any particular methodological approach, nor will it restrict
itself to European authors or material with a European focus. It will
carry articles with an historical as well as a topical flavour. The
journal aims to have a robust book reviews section, and while the language
of reviews will be English, we wish to promote reviews of and review
articles about significant new work written in other languages. The
journal's most general aim is to foster and perhaps rekindle the sort of
intellectual sensibility that was once a staple of the sociological
tradition.
