Preview Knowledge as Culture: The New Sociology of Knowledge
Description:
Drawing upon Marxist, French structuralist, and American pragmatist traditions, this lively and accessible introduction to the sociology of knowledge gives to its classic texts a fresh reading, arguing that various bodies of knowledge operate within culture to create powerful cultural dispositions, meanings, and categories. It looks at the cultural impact of the forms and images of mass media, and examines the authority of science, medicine, and law as bodies of contemporary knowledge and practice. Finally, it considers the concept of “engendered knowledge” through a consideration of the complex and often troubled relationship between women and science.The sociology of knowledge has sometimes been marginalized as a narrow academic specialization. This lucid study reclaims it as an essential tool for all serious students of culture in all its forms.
