“…Many cultural activities considered to be popular or middle-brow in the Euro-American contexts (e.g. going to the cinema, listening to popular music) still mark the taste repertoire of the culturally privileged in Turkey (Rankin, Ergin and Goksen, 2014). However, Turkish cultural fields have also been situated at the intersection of Eastern and Western global cultural flows, making it manifest various characteristics ranging from 'hybridization of the local and the western' to the 'revival of imagined Islamic roots' (Ger, 2017).…”

Key debates of contemporary cultural sociology -the rise of the 'cultural omnivore', the fate of classical 'highbrow' culture, the popularization, commercialization and globalization of culture -deal with temporal changes. Yet, systematic research about these processes is scarce due to the lack of suitable longitudinal data. This book explores these questions through the lens of a crucial institution of cultural mediation -the culture sections in quality European newspapersfrom 1960 to 2010.Starting from the framework of cultural stratification and employing systematic content analysis both quantitative and qualitative of more than 13,000 newspaper articles, Enter Culture, Exit Arts? presents a synthetic yet empirically rich and detailed account of cultural transformation in Europe over the last five decades. It shows how classifications and hierarchies of culture have changed in course of the process towards increased cultural heterogeneity. Furthermore, it conceptualizes the key trends of rising popular culture and declining highbrow arts as two simultaneous processes: the one of legitimization of popular culture and the other of popularization of traditional legitimate culture, both important for the loosening of the boundary between 'highbrow' and 'popular'.Through careful comparative analysis and illustrative snapshots into the specific socio-historical contexts in which the newspapers and their representations of culture are embedded -in Finland, France, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the UK -the book reveals the key patterns and diversity of European variations in the transformation of cultural hierarchies since the 1960s. The book is a collective endeavour of a large-scale international research project active between 2013 and 2018.

“…Therefore, these institutions often reproduce the values of openness and cosmopolitanism in tandem with cultural capital accumulation. From a non-Western perspective, ‘levels of engagement and orientation towards Western culture…appear to be strongly associated with differences in education, income, and age, and to a lesser extent, gender’ (Rankin et al, 2014: 172). In non-Western contexts, a cosmopolitan consumption profile likewise requires a value proposition and means of accessing and interacting with these cultural items.…”

Sport in broader leisure lifestyles: An analysis of the professional sport consumer’s cultural engagement

Despite the prevalence of professional sport in contemporary societies, there is little known by academics about professional sports consumers. We know much more about other cultural domains, such as music and the arts. This study examines consumption and sport in Canada to further understand how patterns of sports consumption fit into broader leisure lifestyles. Through investigation of how five professional sports leagues in Canada are consumed, this paper draws conclusions about the lifestyle of these consumers to assess which prevailing theories of cultural consumption are most useful for this segment. By utilising latent class analysis and regression modelling, this paper finds that cultural omnivores are the most likely consumers of these leagues. This group also maps onto theorisations of omnivores as high-status persons. Additionally, this paper suggests that theories of cosmopolitanism in omnivorous consumption may have particular salience for the Canadian case.

“…'nin (2014) beğeniler üzerine yaptığı Türkiye temsili çalışması, yerel kültürü temsil eden hiçbir değişkenin, gruplar arasında ayrım yaratmadığını göstermiştir. 24 Bu bulguya ek olarak, kültürel sermayesi ve geliri yüksek kesimlerin (engaged cosmopolitan) müzik, edebiyat ve yemek alanlarında kentli ve küreselleşmiş kültürü benimsediği ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak, diğer Avrupa ölçeklerinden farklı olarak bu kesim, çağdaş ve popüler türler yerine seküler kültürün sanattaki 'köklü' formlarını tercih ediyor gibi görünmektedir.…”

ÖzGüncel birçok çalışma, kültür ve sanat alanındaki sınıflandırmaların önemli yapısal dönüşümler geçirmekte olduğunu öne sürer. Kimilerince bu süreç, yerleşik/köklü (established) sanat tanımının sınırlarının, yeni ortaya çıkan (emerging) sanat alanlarını da içerecek şekilde geçirgenleşmesini içerir ve bu sebeple 'kültürel açılım' olarak tarif edilir. Kimilerince ise, beğeni kültürleri arasındaki hiyerarşinin esnekleşmesini içerir ve 'kültürel hepçillik' kavramı ile açıklanır. Sunulan bu çalışmada, altı Avrupa ülkesininde yapılan ve 1960-2010 arasında gazetelerde yayınlanan kültür-sanat haberlerinin (N=13,161) içeriğini inceleyen bir araştırmanın verileri kullanılarak şu sorulara cevaplar aranmaktadır: Yayınlanan haberlerin ve eleştirilerin kültür alanlarına göre dağılımı nasıldır? Zaman içerisinde, köklü alanlar ile yeni ortaya çıkan alanlara gösterilen gazetecilik ilgisi değişmiş midir? Belirli bir sanat alanının alt türleri arasındaki hiyerarşi; örneğin klasik müzik, pop müzik ayrımı, öngörüldüğü gibi giderek azalmakta mıdır? Avrupa örneklerinde 'kültürel açılım'dan ziyade 'kültürel hepçilleşme' tezinin açıklayıcı olduğu yörüngeler tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye'de ise diğer ülkelere kıyasla, yeni ortaya çıkan alanlara ve popüler türlere yoğun ilgi olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç kısmında bu ilginin bir açılım ya da hepçilleşme olarak okunup okunamayacağı sorgulanmıştır.
