Culture, Class, Distinction is major contribution to
international debates regarding the role of cultural capital in
relation to modern forms of inequality. Drawing on a national study
of the organisation of cultural practices in contemporary Britain,
the authors review Bourdieu s classic study of the relationships
between culture and class in the light of subsequent debates.
In doing so they re-appraise the relationships between class,
gender and ethnicity, music, film, television, literary, and arts
consumption, the organisation of sporting and culinary practices,
and practices of bodily and self maintenance. As the most
comprehensive account to date of the varied interpretations of
cultural capital that have been developed in the wake of Bourdieu s
work, Culture, Class, Distinction offers the first systematic
assessment of the relationships between cultural practice and the
social divisions of class, gender and ethnicity in contemporary
Britain.
It is essential reading for anyone interested in the
relationships between culture and society.
