Jos De Haan Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

This volume discusses the level of Dutch individual involvement in culture (various forms of arts and cultural heritage). Trends in participation are treated against the background of what the cultural field offers the Dutch population. In addition to "cultural consumption" (visiting a theater or going to the movies) this work also views active creative activity (painting, playing music, acting) and the use of the mass media for cultural purposes. Women appear to be more interested in most cultural forms than are men; highly educated people participate more than those with lower levels of education, although participation levels of the higher educated are declining somewhat; and, among the middle aged, popular rather than high arts are on the rise. The book concludes by discussing scenarios for a future in which the cultural field faces increased competition over the leisure time of Dutch citizens.Frank Huysmans, Andries van den Broek and Jos de Haan are part of the research group on Time, Media and Culture of the Social and Cultural Planning Office in The Hague, Netherlands.

The image of the scientist as a 'lone wolf' has become obsolete. It has been replaced by one which emphasizes cooperation within research groups. In this study the development of eight research groups in Dutch sociology between 1945 and 1990 is described. A discussion of a theoretical model focusing on mechanisms relevant to the development and institutionalization of groups is followed by an analysis of theory groups like 'Modern Sociology' and 'Figurational Sociology' as well as specialty groups such as the 'Leiden School of Stratification and Mobility.' Attention is paid to the state of the art of the discipline, the impact of government policy and the labor market situation for Dutch sociologists.
