This book analyses issues related to the political use and economical misappropriation of urban cultural events, cultural infrastructures, public resources, and cultural traditions in the city of Valencia, Spain. It deals critically with a variety of sociological questions related to cultural production in the city, including geographical segregation as culturally defined in the city; misogyny and the peripheral role of women in traditional cultural events, xenophobia; and nationalism/regionalism. As such, the book will be useful to students and scholars of sociology of the arts, cultural policy, and museum management, and urban sociology.

En la sociología española, y más en concreto en la sociología de la cultura, hay un vacío que esta investigación pretende comenzar a colmar. Existe abundante investigación sobre los valores, sobre la religión y los sistemas de creencias, sobre el conocimiento y el discurso; trabajos valiosos, aunque escasos, sobre el campo artístico; pero el ámbito específico de las prácticas culturales, tal y como se entiende en contextos próximos (Francia, Canadá, Inglaterra), apenas se ha cultivado entre nosotros. La evolución de los equipamientos culturales de los hogares españoles en las últimas décadas es un buen indicador de un nuevo paradigma comunicativo: en 1968 sólo un 38% de lo...
A veces, leyendo la obra de una sola persona —en este caso, de Antonio Ariño—, podemos atisbar el estado del arte de la sociología en cierto momento de su desarrollo. De ahí el título Omnivoridad sociológica que hemos dado a este libro. En este volumen, y de la mano de veintiséis autores representativos de diversos campos de la sociología española (y, en algún caso, internacional) podemos repasar aspectos de varias áreas sociológicas (la sociología de la cultura y de las instituciones culturales, de la educación superior, del género, de la religión, del arte, de los cuidados, del mundo digital, de la vida cotidiana, del asociacionismo y los movimientos de base, de la vida ...
University and university students of various disciplines (health, technology and engineering, humanities, social sciences or basic sciences) have set their sights on certain cultural references to return them to the citizenry and invite us to reflect on these manifestations of collective and diachronic solidarity, of how those people in the past did or created things that have contributed to our welfare, but that above all-, they are manifestations of the personal and collective drive of so many people to improve their living conditions and enrich themselves with the creativity of others, thus generating human development. The texts and references presented here are the results of a University Workshop on Cultural Heritage and Human Development. This is a civic reflexive exercise that anyone can do about the cultural and scientific references of their environment or the place they visit.

The Spanish nobility continues to be influential in the early 21st century in politics, academia, and the economy. The polarized socio-cultural environment in Spain in the early decades of the millennium is paralleled by an increasingly divisive political discourse and deadlock in terms of governance. Understanding the subcultures of the most influential socio-political groups is important to be able to interpret the political developments. A vast array of studies have been conducted about the rise of the extreme left but there is a dearth of studies dealing with the impact of the traditional nobility in contemporary Spain. The present study presents an emic model of elite culture through th...
