| Summary: | The emergence of a “new sociology” which would provide a space for the consideration of culture as a force for change in society has been a subject for discussion in the United States since the 1990s. On this foundation, a trend of thought usually referred to as “cultural sociology” suggests reconsidering and uniting sub-disciplines such as political sociology, the sociology of collective action or economic sociology. In the light of a similar methodological approach which would not be restricted to the study of actors and structures, North American cultural sociology invites us to consider together meanings, actions and institutions. The article examines the origin of this current of thought in the United States, which has been steadily developing for a decade and its possible contribution to a reflection on power, domination and social change. |
