English Romanticism

• In the 19th century, humanists such
  as English poet and essayist Matthew
  Arnold (18221888) used the word "culture" to
  refer to an ideal of individual human refinement,
  of "the best that has been thought and said in
  the world." This concept of culture is comparable
  to the German concept of bildung "...culture
  being a pursuit of our total perfection by means
  of getting to know, on all the matters which most
  concern us, the best which has been thought and
  said in the world.
• Sociology
• The sociology of culture concerns cultureusually
  understood as the ensemble of symbolic codes used
  by a societyas manifested in society. For Georg
  Simmel, culture referred to "the cultivation of
  individuals through the agency of external forms
  which have been objectified in the course of
  history"

Early researchers and development of cultural
sociology

• The sociology of culture grew from the
  intersection between sociology (as shaped by
  early theorists like Marx,  Durkheim, and Weber)
  with the growing discipline of anthropology,
  where in researchers pioneered ethnographic
  strategies for describing and analyzing a variety
  of cultures around the world. Part of the legacy
  of the early development of the field lingers in
  the methods (much of cultural sociological
  research is qualitative), in the theories (a
  variety of critical approaches to sociology are
  central to current research communities), and in
  the substantive focus of the field. For instance,
  relationships between popular culture, political
  control, and social class were early and lasting
  concerns in the field.
• Cultural studies
• In the United Kingdom, sociologists and other
  scholars influenced by Marxism, such as Stuart
  Hall and Raymond Williams developed cultural
  studies. Following nineteenth-century Romantics,
  they identified "culture" with consumption goods
  and leisure activities (such as art, music, film,
  food, sports, and clothing). Nevertheless, they
  saw patterns of consumption and leisure as
  determined by relations of production, which led
  them to focus on class relations and the
  organization of production.
