• W63387521 abstract "The future of the book depends on the future of the class. The future of the class does not depend on the future of a culture. However, when a class persists in the absence of a culture, its influence is circumscribed. This ought to worry sociologists accustomed to converse with one another and with the wider world through the medium of books. A class is defined by socio-economic indicators including, but not limited to, relationship to the means of production. It includes the members of those classes or class fractions who routinely use their work and their entertainment. Education establishes the boundaries of the class and is the route of entry members from other socio-economic backgrounds (the colonial scholarship boy, the bluestocking, the second son of the landed aristocracy who enters the clergy, the inner-city kid scorned acting white). There is a hint of this in the British use of the term in reference to someone at the university studying a certain subject, as in reading law or reading for a degree in mathematics. A culture is something very different. A society where both the ability and practice of is necessary in order to be culturally competent and economically successful can be said to have a culture. Reading cultures, unlike classes, are recent developments. Pressure mass literacy arises when a people are developing, or seem likely to develop, a culture, literacy becomes a requirement full social participation. In an established culture, there is a rough but direct association between the prestige of a job and the amount of it requires. Moreover entertainment takes place at most social levels, with materials stratified from belles lettres to comics and fotonovelas the semi-literate. In a culture, what one reads become a useful form of stratification and social signaling. According to The New Yosk Times, single men and women assess potential dates by inquiring into what they read (Arnold 2000). woman reported that she never dated anyone who didn't like Dickens, and went on to say, One guy never read novels, and I said to myself, 'Oh, my God, if I marly this guy our kids will lack the genes fiction.' The article reports that this use of books as romantic litmus tests is common, with a casual offer Here, read this and tell me what you think in fact constituting a pass/fail test of the prospect's suitability. It is both possible and historically common to have a class without having a culture. China during the Qing dynasty was administered by a class, the bureaucratic literati, but most Chinese neither had the capability of nor desired it. The scribal manuscript culture of medieval Europe, or the Koran-based cultures of conservative Islamic societies past and present, offer clear examples of elite classes without cultures. Where starts to penetrate public life rather than remaining within bureaucratic, clerical, or scholarly ghettos, a culture may emerge. Historically this has happened first in urban commercial centers. Signs of a culture include the invention of written news produced and consumed by an anonymous public; signage, graffiti, and other impersonal messages on city streets; and the appearance of written forms of popular entertainment. We see the early stages of a culture in imperial Rome, in West African market towns during the end of the colonial period, in Shanghai during the first two decades of the twentieth centuly, and in late sixteenth-centuly London. Reading cultures do not invariably take hold, however. In Rome remained strictly an urban activity, and no more than 20-30 percent of Roman men and 10 percent of Roman women ever achieved literacy.
