Special Announcement from Mark Jacobs

In the spirit of the session "Global Differences in Conceptualizing Culture" at ASA 08, the dialogue we began in Boston has grown and spread to Europe. The texts of the four presentations along with my "Message from the Chair" that all appeared *Culture* this spring were republished (along with two other commentaries, by Tia De Nora and Rudi Laermans) in the inaugural issue of the newsletter of the Research Network--Culture of the European Sociological Association. There, the assembled papers comprise over 40 pages of text. You can download the entire issue from the ESA website--
