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.
