    LANCASTER UNIVERSITY Popular Music, the Christian Story, and the Quest for Ontological Security David John Gillard MA (Distinction) A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In Fulfilment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) DEPARTMENT OF POLITICS, PHILOSOPHY AND RELIGION OCTOBER 2019 Abstract Popular Music, the Christian Story, and the Quest for Ontological Security David John Gillard MA A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies In Fulfilment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) October 2019 The crisis of socialisation into Christian belief is, in part, evidence of Western secularisation. Added to this, there is evidence of significant existential restlessness. Moreover, many individuals feel alienated from the Church, which has been the historic Western provider of a discourse offering ontological security. Such restlessness finds emotional expression within a popular music culture that frequently interrogates Christian belief. It is argued here that not only is there a hegemonic resistance to Christian discourse, but that the Church inadvertently colludes with these forces, favouring its historic, rationalistic methods of evangelism, the effectiveness of which is now limited. This thesis offers a model to redress aspects of this disconnect, arguing for the significance of affective spaces within which spiritual reflection is encouraged. Using Zygmunt Bauman’s sociology of liquid modernity the thesis considers the fluid nature of Western society. In particular, it explores the ways in which popular music articulates core themes in a society in which individuals are effectively bricoleurs, drawing from popular culture in order to tactically resist hegemony. Central to the discussion is the idea that humans are ‘hard wired’ to develop a sense of self in a proto-musical manner.

  • Eating Out: Social Differentiation, Consumption and Pleasure Alan Warde and Lydia Martens Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521590442 - Eating Out: Social Differentiation, Consumption and Pleasure Alan Warde and Lydia Martens Frontmatter More information Eating Out Social Differentiation,Consumption and Pleasure Eating Out is a fascinating study of the consumption of food outside the home, based on extensive original research carried out in England in the 1990s. Reflecting the explosion of interest in food, ranging from food scares to the national obsession with celebrity chefs, the practice of eating out has increased dramatically over recent years. Through surveys and intensive interviews, the authors have collected a wealth of informa- tion into people’s attitude towards, and expectations of, eating out as a form of entertainment and an expression of taste and status. Amongst other topics they examine social inequalities in access to eating out, social distinction, interactions between customers and staff, and the economic and social implications of the practice. Eating Out will be a valuable source to academics, advanced students and practitioners in the sociology of consumption, cultural studies, social anthropology, tourism and hospitality, home economics, market- ing, and the general reader. alan warde is Professor of Sociology at the University of Manchester. He is the author of Consensus and Beyond: The Development of Labour Party Strategy since the Second World War, Contemporary British Society: a New Introduction to Sociology (with N. Abercrombie and others), Urban Sociology, Capitalism and Modernity (with M. Savage), and Consumption, Food and Taste:Culinary Antinomies and Commodity Culture. In addition, Alan Warde has published in a wide range of journals, including: Antipode, British Food Journal, British Journal of Sociology, Environment and Planning D: Space and Society, International Review of Social History, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Political Geography Quarterly, Sociological Review, Sociology, and Work Employment and Society.

  • A Tale of Two Cities: Global Change, Local Feeling and Everyday Life In
    A TALE OF TWO CITIES The future of cities cannot be understood in terms only of the emergence of the post-modern metropole. A large proportion of citizens of Western society will continue for many years to inhabit the old industrial conurbations—from the rust belt in the United States to the originating centres of the English industrial revolution—and will experience contemporary economic and social change in those locations. A Tale of Two Cities is a study of two such cities in the North of England, Manchester and Sheffield, and of the texture of every-day life within them. It explores the hopes and fears, the memories and folk-beliefs, and the present pre-occupations of young professionals, the unemployed, children and young people, the elderly and ethnic minorities and gay people in these two cities. It offers a detailed sociological analysis of two defining activities of life—shopping and daily travel and transport. The book draws on an international range of theory from Raymond Williams to John Logan and Harvey Molotch to identify and interpret the trajectory of change and development in different old industrial cities. And it provides a series of connected essays on the meaning of different levels of crime and levels of fear in different cities, on begging and homelessness in the city, on the demonisation of racialised enclaves, and on women’s adaptive strategies; as well as an investigation of urban redevelopment and extended enquiry into the different futures available to post-Fordist cities in the North of England and in similar regions elsewhere in the world.
