Final Program 98th Annual Meeting August 16-19, 2003 Hilton Atlanta Atlanta Marriott Marquis Atlanta, Georgia The Question of Culture Two decades ago, the sociology of culture was a relatively well-defined and insulated subfield, focusing primarily on how collective action and social institutions shape production in the media and the arts. Since then, the study of cultural phenomena has expanded tremendously across subfields of sociology. It has also proliferated throughout the humanities via the interdisciplinary field of cultural studies, though with scant participation from sociologists. The theme of the 2003 Annual Meeting, "The Question of Culture," is an invitation to assess critically how the concept of culture is used across the full range of areas of social inquiry and to take stock of alternative approaches to theory, method, and explanation developed outside of our discipline. What is the empirical and theoretical status of the concept of culture, not just in fields that deal centrally with symbolic realms such as arts, media, and religion, but also in traditionally more social structural subfields such as demography, organizations, and stratification? How has "the cultural turn" changed our understanding of social categories such as gender, race, class and the way we study social processes ranging from identity formation to globalization? How do we address issues of meaning, representation, and interpretation, and what are their implications for sociology as an explanatory science? The 2003 Annual Meeting will be an occasion for lively debate on these and related issues, for sharing new ideas for theorizing and research, and for experiencing first hand the culture of Atlanta, one of the world's most vibrant multicultural urban centers. 2003 Program Committee William T.
