Sociological research that builds on these ideas considers how cross- cultural variation alters judgments, with important consequences for what is and is not considered moral behavior. Yet lacking from these approaches is the notion that, depending on the situation and relationship, the same behavior by the same person can be considered more or less moral. The author reviews recent trends in sociological theorizing about morality and calls attention to the neglect of situational variations and social perceptions as mediating influences on judgment. She then analyzes the moral machine experiment to demonstrate how situations and relationships inform moral cognition. Finally, the author suggests that we can extend contemporary trends in the sociology of morality by connecting culture in thinking about action to culture in thinking about people. Keywords cognition, culture, morality, perception, situations Preface As I write, there are places in the world where there aren’t enough hospital beds or respirators to allow all patients to This paper is about moral judgments in challenging and receive adequate medical care. -
Beyond Social Class and Status. the Network Embeddedness of Music Consumption
PRZEGLĄD SOCJOLOGICZNY 2019 68(2): 81–105 ISSN 0033-2356; e-ISSN 2450-9351 https://doi.org/10.26485/PS/2019/68.2/4 Michał Cebula University of Wrocław BEYOND SOCIAL CLASS AND STATUS. THE NETWORK EMbEDDEDNESS OF MUSIC CONSUMPTION Abstract The relationship between stratification and music consumption patterns has become a vibrant field of study in recent years, not only in the sociology of music but also in sociology tout court. It is widely accepted that musical consumption is undergoing profound change, from a tight correspondence between social positions and tastes (the homology argument) to an omnivore- univore model marked by a greater diversity of preferences among those in higher social strata. What is less understood in both frameworks is how musical consumption is related to an individual’s social networks, net of other structural variables (e.g. class or status). Drawing on original quantitative data collected by the author, the paper tries to establish, first, whether diversity of personal networks is conducive to greater heterogeneity in musical preferences and knowledge, and second, what role “weak” and “strong” ties play. It is confirmed that people whose networks are richer in weak connections are more likely to be omnivores while this is not true in the case of strong ties. Some possible explanations of the findings, as well as directions of future studies, are outlined. Keywords: omnivorousness, musical tastes, social network, social capital, stratification of culture PhD, Department of Consumer Behaviour, Institute of Sociology; e-mail: [email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6086-2233 82 MIChał CEbuLa INTRODUCTION answering the question “What is sociological about music?” Roy and Dowd [2010] make a point that music is a mode of interaction that expresses and con- stitutes social relations (of different kinds: subcultures, organizations, classes, even nations) with the context-specific intersubjective meanings it delivers and sustains. -

ABSTRACT This paper expands the discussion of culture and networks in the social movements literature by focusing on processes of political communication across intersecting movement networks. I draw upon recent work in political culture that shifts attention from the structural manifestations of culture (e.g., identities, frames) to the dynamics of communicative practices. This work examines “forms of talk” as well as the social relations constructed by that talk. While such an approach is inherently relational, few of these researchers have yet incorporated formal network analysis into their work. I take up this challenge by applying recent attempts to link network and discursive approaches to my research on overlapping youth activist networks in Brazil. I describe a core set of conversational mechanisms that are highly contingent on (and constitutive of) crosscutting network relations: identity qualifying, temporal cuing, generality shifting and multiple targeting. I discuss the ways in which these mechanisms are constrained by different kinds of relational contexts, as well as the ways in which they contribute to different kinds of network building in movements, including political outreach, coordination, and alliance- building. -

Is personal culture stable, or under constant revision through interaction with the environment? While recent empirical work finds attitudes are remarkably stable, this paper argues that typifications—how material tokens are classified as a particular mental type by individuals— are more open to transformation as a result of the fundamentally fuzzy nature of classifying. -
Pluralistic Collapse: the “Oil Spill” Model of Mass Opinion Polarization

Reporting little evidence of mass polarization, previous studies assume polarization is evidenced via the amplification of existing political alignments. This article considers a different pathway: polarization occurring via social, cultural, and political alignments coming to encompass an increasingly diverse array of opinions and attitudes. The study uses 44 years of data from the General Social Survey representing opinions and attitudes across a wide array of domains as elements in an evolving belief network. Analyses of this network produce evidence that mass polarization has increased via a process of belief consolidation, entailing the collapse of previously cross-cutting alignments, thus creating increasingly broad and encompassing clusters organized around cohesive packages of beliefs. Further, the increasing salience of political ideology and partisanship only partly explains this trend. The structure of U.S. opinion has shifted in ways suggesting troubling implications for proponents of political and social pluralism. Keywords political polarization, public opinion, belief networks, political pluralism Social and political theorists have long argued prevent disagreement in one arena from esca- that differentiated societies are best able to lating into all-out (metaphorical or literal) integrate diverse interests when relying on a warfare. -

The Gendered Effect of Authority Positions in the Workplace on Taste in Clothing and Food

We use the micro-interactionist model of Randall Collins to formulate new hypotheses on the development of aesthetic and practical taste patterns, as described by Pierre Bourdieu. This leads to the following hypotheses: (1) people in superordinate positions will develop more aesthetic tastes; (2) men in subordinate positions will develop more practical tastes; and (3) women in subordinate positions will develop more aesthetic tastes. Our results show that there is a significant effect of being in a superordinate position on food preferences but not on clothing preferences. Among people in subordinate positions, women score higher than men on a fashion taste in clothing, lower on practical taste in clothing, and lower on a conventional taste in food. Keywords food preferences, clothing preferences, gender, authority positions Introduction Ever since the “cultural turn” in social sciences, the study of social stratification has embraced the areas of consumption and lifestyle in their research programs. Economic differences are no longer seen as a sufficient paradigm to analyze the development of stratified groups in society. Other cultural (or symbolic) resources have to be taken into account as well (Ray and Sayer 1999).
