About the Authors

Accounting for Tastes is the most systematic and substantial study of Australian cultural tastes, preferences and activities ever published. While based on the findings of a survey, the book also includes transcripts from interviews where respondents talk freely about what governs their tastes and preferences in home furnishings, music, books, sports, television programs, and art. It is a book that makes a substantial contribution to the empirical and policy-oriented social inquiry into questions of cultural practices and preferences.
- The most systematic and detailed study of Australian cultural tastes, preferences and activities ever published
- Highly readable and incorporates survey results in illustrative formats
- Based on the highly influential work of Pierre Bourdieu in Lille in the 1970s and the first major work to use his survey as a model since then
