Summary, etc. From modernity's onset, social theorists have been announcing the death of meaning, at the hands of market forces, impersonal power, scientific expertise, and the pervasive forces of rationalization and industrialization. Yet, cultural structures and processes have proved surprisingly resilient. Relatively autonomous patterns of meaning - sweeping narratives and dividing codes, redolent if elusive symbols, fervent demands for purity and cringing fears of pollution - continue to exert extraordinary effects on action and institutions. They affect structures of inequality, racism and marginality, gender and sexuality, crime and punishment, social movements, market success and citizen incorporation. New and old new media project continuous symbolic reconstructions of private and public life. As contemporary sociology registered the continuing robustness of cultural power, the new discipline of cultural sociology was born. How should these complex cultural processes be conceptualized? What are the best empirical ways to study social meaning? Even as debates rage around these field-specific theoretical and methodological questions, a broadly cultural sensibility has spread into every arena of sociological study, illuminating how struggles over meaning affect the most disparate processes of contemporary social life. Bringing together the best of these studies and debates, the American Journal of Cultural Sociology (AJCS) publicly crystallizes the cultural turn in contemporary sociology. By providing a common forum for the many voices engaged in meaning-centered social inquiry, the AJCS will facilitate communication, sharpen contrasts, sustain clarity, and allow for periodic condensation and synthesis of different perspectives. The journal aims to provide a single space where cultural sociologists can follow the latest developments and debates within the field. The American Journal of Cultural Sociology is indexed by SCOPUS, a database listing journals and country scientific indicators and rankings, and is also indexed in Thomson Reuters’ Web of Science Core Collection, in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI). SSCI provides searchable author abstracts for the leading journals in 55 social science disciplines, with a comprehensive backfile of cited reference data from 1900 to the present. AJCS’s inclusion in the SSCI provides greater discoverability for the journal and allows for real-time insight into the citation performance. We welcome high-quality submissions of any length and focus: contemporary and historical studies; macro and micro analyses; institutional and symbolic approaches; ethnographic, statistical, philosophical, and methodological work. Cultural sociology has developed from European and American roots and is now an international field. AJCS publishes rigorous, meaning-centered sociology, whatever its origins or focus, and distributes it globally. At the same time, cultural sociology is an established field, and we expect authors to situate their work in relation to its research literature, central questions, and ongoing disciplinary debates.
