To understand the sociology of culture, this is a great book on the societal building process behind even the most simple of art pieces. A true classic.

The book is informative (I had read it previously), and the quality was great for a used book - looked almost new!

A Must-Have for Sociologists of Culture
Becker's Art Worlds is a classic. Not only does he define "art world," which is critical for the study of the arts, but he covers so many topics of the arts (from creation, to sales, to networks, etc). This book is like the Bible of art worlds and can be applied in so many ways, beyond what most people consider "fine art." A serious must-have for anyone studying the arts in sociology.

and still a good read, but some of the work it influenced ...
A very influential classic, and still a good read, but some of the work it influenced have honored it by building on it, and making it less essential: Sarah Thornton's SEVEN DAYS IN THE ART WORLD, for example, is a punchier text to pout in students' hands. Also, the art world continues to play out its history, giving rise to the need for some updating. The abiding classic in the field, in my view, continues to be Bourdieu's DISTINCTION.

Good sociology
Readable and good scholarly work. Becker takes apart the art world to peer inside at all the moving parts. Definitely a must for sociologists studying culture.

La reconnaissance optique de caractères laisse plein de fautes. C'est très pénible d'être interrompu dans la lecture par ce qui n'est certainement pas toléré dans les éditions papiers. Merci de faire la relecture avant la publication et de mettre à jour les versions numériques. C'est aussi ça leur avantage !
