Introduction : Durkheimian sociology and cultural studies today / Jeffrey C. Alexander -- The sacred and the French Revolution / Lynn Hunt -- From Durkheim to Mangua : revolutions as religious revivals / Edward A. Tiryakian -- The liminal fight : mass strikes as ritual and interpretation / Eric W. Rothenbuhler -- Religious elements in friendship : Durkheimian theory in an empirical context / Ruth A. Wallace and Shirley F. Hartley -- The Durkheimian tradition in conflict sociology / Randall Collins -- Social structure and civil religion : legitimation crisis in a late Durkheimian perspective / Hans-Peter Müller -- Articulating consensus : the ritual and rhetoric of media events / Daniel Dayan and Elihu Katz -- Culture and political crisis : "Watergate" and Durkheimian sociology / Jeffrey C. Alexander.

Summary: Durkheim's classic works are characterized by a structural approach to the understanding of collective behaviour. This volume rejects the dominant structural approach and draws instead on Durkheim's later work. In doing so, it offers a radically different approach to Durkheimian sociology and a new way of linking the interpretation of culture and the interpretation of society.
