Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In the second half of the twentieth century, cultural classification systems – that is, the ways in which members of particular societies classify cultural products and develop corresponding rules of behavior and practices – in Western societies seem to have undergone significant changes, that appear closely connected to wider (intra and inter) societal developments. In this paper, we examine the hierarchical dimension of these classification systems, and test the hypothesis that traditional cultural hierarchies have eroded over time. This will be achieved by means of a comparative study of the newspaper coverage of arts and culture in four different countries – France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United States – in the period 1955-2005. The countries under investigation are expected to differ substantially, due to variations in cultural tradition, market orientation, commercialization, social mobility, and state intervention. This paper presents an empirical analysis of cross-national variations in (i) the amount of newspaper coverage given to ‘high’ and popular cultural forms and (ii) the journalistic genres and formats employed in this coverage.
