| Summary: | This 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 also political scientists and anthropologists |

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 also political scientists and anthropologists Sociology / Comparative method / Case studies Evaluation / Cross-cultural studies Evaluation / France / Case studies Evaluation / United States / Case studies Cognition and culture / France / Case studies Cognition and culture / United States / Case studies Kultursoziologie (DE-588)4133431-0 gnd rswk-swf Kulturvergleich (DE-588)4114328-0 gnd rswk-swf Frankreich USA Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4522595-3 Fallstudiensammlung gnd-content Kultursoziologie (DE-588)4133431-0 s Kulturvergleich (DE-588)4114328-0 s 1\p DE-604 Frankreich (DE-588)4018145-5 g 2\p DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g 3\p DE-604 Lamont, Michèle 1957- Sonstige (DE-588)172604559 oth Thévenot, Laurent 1949- Sonstige (DE-588)133495515 oth Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe, hbk 978-0-521-78263-0 (DE-604)BV013278091 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe, pbk 978-0-521-78794-9 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511628108 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
