Cambridge University Press Rethinking Comparative Cultural Sociology Repertoires Of Evaluation In France And The United States Cambridge Cultural Social Studies
Book SynopsisThis book provides a powerful theoretical framework for understanding cross-national cultural differences. Focusing on France and America, it analyses how the people of these two different cultures mobilise national 'repertoires of evaluation' to make judgements about politics, economics, morals and aesthetics. The analysis draws on eight case studies by eleven French and American researchers who have worked together over a number of years to develop systematic comparisons between these countries. The topics are wide-ranging, comparing how individuals use the cultural tools at their disposal to answer questions such as: are races equal? What constitutes sexual harassment? What is the value of contemporary art? Should journalists be neutral? How can the defense of the environment be reconciled with economic imperatives? Moving beyond simplistic essentialist models of national character, this comparative approach offers important insights that will interest not only sociologists but alsoTrade Review"Rethinking Comparative Cultural Sociology is the product of an unprecedented multiyear collaboration between 11 French and American researchers...[it is] an extraordinary contribution to the field of comparative cultural sociology."

Cambridge University Press The Feminist Aesthetics of Virginia Woolf
Book SynopsisJane Goldman offers a revisionary, feminist reading of Woolf's work which focuses on her engagement with the artistic theories of her time. Lavishly illustrated with colour pictures, this book will appeal not only to scholars working on Woolf, but also to students of modernism, art history, and women's studies.Trade Review'In this innovative and important book, Jane Goldman argues that for Virginia Woolf, aesthetic concerns (with colour in particular) were inseparable from political and especially feminist concerns.

With topics ranging from religious thought, Islamic law and modern politics to the arts, cinema and new media, the volume highlights the diversity and richness of Islamic civilization.Trade Review'The NCHI (The New Cambridge History of Islam) is a genuine work of scholarship, not a confrontational or polemic effort. For readers interested in Islam, the publication of this 6-volume work by Cambridge University Press in 2010 was a groundbreaking occasion, well deserving all the public and media attention and praise.
