Just for the record, this isn't related to sociology. If anything it would be classified as literary theory, perhaps philosophy. 72.8.95.34 07:20, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- I changed it to "History" (before seeing your comment here) -- I agree with you that it isn't sociology (that made me laugh too), but neither is it strickly philosophy or literary theory. I did not know all the possiblities available for categorization but it struck me that History was broad enough. I mean it is really *everything* right? Art criticism and literary criticism and political observation and fashion critique and poetry and philosophy and Marxist analysis and he even records what people were saying about other worlds! And I guess, even some sociology! It is an amazing book. It strikes me as a sort of scrapbook of Paris in the 19th century (not in the Middle-aged, stay-at-home mom / Dr.'s wife, cut and paste and add stickers from the QVC to pictures of kids sense!) but in an amazing archival accumulation sense with the added benefit of insightful filtering and juxtaposition. Oh well, I am sleepy (4am here). Ciao! Saudade7 01:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
