The Alexander School of Cultural Sociology

Mustafa Emirbayer

University of Wisconsin at Madison, emirbaye{at}ssc.wisc.edu

I pursue three aims in this article: (1) a contextualization of Jeffrey Alexander’s cultural sociology within the broader trajectory of his intellectual development; (2) a sketch of the key ideas of his approach to cultural analysis against the backdrop of contemporary debates regarding culture and social structure; and (3) an appreciation and critical assessment of Alexander’s program.

Key Words: Alexander • culture • cultural sociology • social structure • theory
