Habitus

turned into nature, converted into motor schemes and body automatisms” (Bourdieu [1980]: 69) nailed it for me. My friend felted that I was an outsider, equally I also felted when we both asserted “disgusted” to each others test, believe, and cultural habitus. In both cases, I presume our relationship ended to show Douglas’s “out of order” and Bourdieu's…

scholarly rules, acquired through family and educational system; being able to speak the legitimate language, according to Bourdieu, will determine a person’s socio-economic success. The concept of legitimate language is strictly linked with the one of habitus and of cultural capital; the latter consists of “familiarity with the dominant culture in a society, and especially the ability to understand and use ‘educated’ language” (Bourdieu, 1977, p. 494), the possession of cultural capital…

used to enter into elite social life (Bryson, 1996). The more cultural capital you had the better equipped you were to understand the meaning behind art, and therefore have a more select cultural taste.

While Bourdieu’s theory of reproduction does have its merits, I believe that schools play an immense role when it comes to narrowing social inequality because it has done so for my family. When I was younger, I hated school. My mom (A single mother) would have to fight me tooth and nail to get me to school every day, and even…

Horsley’s active choice in constructing an anachronistic social reality disproves to some degree the theory that identity is predetermined by social position. However, some of Horsley’s identity choices generated a specific and partially restrictive lifestyle. As discussed previously in this work, some of his choices were available because of his socio-economic background and gender, producing a contradictory understanding of the influence of structure and agency on identity formation. This…

The women suffrage movement emerged in Britain during the early 20th century; this period belongs to what is known as the First wave of feminism. During this period occurred what can be considered as a social conflict between the dominant view, ideals about women, and the role of women within society and the new type of women (rebel women) as opposition to the new vision about women that suffragettes showed and represented. This new type of women who rebelled against the ideals of women to…
