The importance of peer trust for female consumers of culture

Sociology may be argued to be, in a broad sense, about the point of view that you apply to an empirical material. That means that the different theoretical views that could be used to analyze the empirical material will create a Sociology that has different characteristics. Testing this notion I will use classical Sociological theory to take a new look at some empirical material. That material has been produced by me in a master´s thesis (Berggren 2012) where I argue that female consumers of culture tend to put emphasis on the feeling of trust in regard to their peers. This is argued to be the case especially when these female consumers discuss what they have experienced during a visit to an art gallery, a concert or watching a play in the theater (Berggren 2012:34 ff).
