David Wright's new article, 'Making tastes for everything: omnivorousness and cultural abundance' has been published in the latest edition of the Journal for Cultural Research. The article offers some speculative discussion on the current state of what has been termed 'the omnivore debate', about emerging patterns of cultural consumption in Western societies. It argues that some of the 'discoveries' about omnivorousness - especially those relating to the crossing of cultural hierarchies - are increasingly unremarkable in a world where 'legitimate' and 'popular' culture are distributed on commercial terms and central to the curricula of accrediting institutions. This might require new ways of finding out how 'taste' matters to social organisation.
