In
this
book
Jeffrey
Alexander
develops
the
view
that
cultural
sociology
and
“cultural
pragmatics”
are
vital
for
understanding
the
structural
turbulence
and
political
possibilities
of
contemporary
social
life.Central
to
Alexander’s
approach
is
a
new
model
of
social
performance
that
combines
elements
from
both
the
theatrical
avant-garde
and
modern
social
theory.
He
uses
this
model
to
shed
new
light
on
a
wide
range
of
social
actors,
movements,
and
events,
demonstrating
through
striking
empirical
examples
the
drama
of
social
life.
Producing
successful
dramas
determines
the
outcome
of
social
movements
and
provides
the
keys
to
political
power.
Modernity
has
neither
eliminated
aura
nor
suppressed
authenticity;
on
the
contrary,
they
are
available
to
social
actors
who
can
perform
them
in
compelling
ways.This
volume
further
consolidates
Alexander’s
reputation
as
one
of
the
most
original
social
thinkers
of
our
time.
It
will
be
of
great
interest
to
students
and
scholars
in
sociology
and
cultural
studies
as
well
as
throughout
the
social
sciences
and humanities.
