How would you react to someone who doubts you because of your background? What would you say? What would you do? In the short story “The Stolen Party,” by Liliana Heker, a young girl’s mother had refused to let her go to a party, as it was meant for the rich. Due to the fact that her mother was the maid of the party’s host, she thought her daughter would be someone that is brushed aside. However, she convinces her mother to let her go, and she has quite a fun time there, playing games and having…

Oscar Wilde implements a heavy focusses significant attention on class in The Importance of Being Earnest. People with and without money behave very differently, though strive for the same response and impressions from their peers. The characters in this novel are exaggerated to the point of absurdity when it comes to their obsession with class. Victorian upper class demands its members to keep up an important image in society and value money and appearance above all else, including people.…

Pierre Bourdieu analyzes capitalism, in its different forms, but establishes an overarching definition of the word capital. Bourdieu states capital is labor gather, either materialized or embodied form, in which, when used it becomes an idea brought to life and the social world puts normalizes its function. Not only does he mention a general definition, but he describes the different types of capital: economic, embodied cultural, objectified, institutionalized cultural, and social capital.…

Taste is defined by the Oxford dictionary as ` A person 's tendency to like or be interested in…

Musical taste The term (musical) ‘taste’ can be described as “The ability to discern what is of good quality or of a high aesthetic standard” (Stevenson, 2010) drawing back to the idea of individuals developing musical preferences. Still ‘taste’ itself often causes controversy not only regarding the clear definition of the terminology that tends to differ in different theories of musicologists and sociologists but also concerning the fundamental understanding of the clear definition of this…

Marie Curie was a remarkable woman. She overcame adversity to become one of the most accomplished scientists today. Without this scientist the fight against cancer or something as simple as getting an x-ray would not be what it is today. Her research has helped to save the lives of millions. In order to accomplish everything she did (Founder of Curic Instutes, winner of two Nobel Prizes, discovering two new chemical elements) being a woman in a time where women were considered to be second class…

Corporate art consultants are curators who create and administer art programs for private companies. In this way, the corporate art consultant follows the traditional definition of the curator as an individual who maintains art objects in a collection. However, as the contemporary role of the curator has shifted into the practice of exhibition making and the cultural influence that comes along with it, the ability of a corporate art consultant to provide clients with objectified cultural capital…

Of course, in a literal sense, the indigenous Mexicans were dirtier than their Mestizo counterparts simply because they worked picking strawberries bent over the dirt, as opposed to the Mestizos, who worked on raspberry machines or walking through the fields as crew bosses. I never saw or heard of any disrespectful actions on the part of indigenous workers. However, the language barrier made this difficult to know. Shelly did not speak any Triqui or Mixteco and spoke poor Spanish, while the…

the neoliberal individual as part of defining their version of good-taste and placing emphasis on their own cultural capital. Ideas that suggest the connection between capital and branding obsession become further apparent in this text. Sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu’s habitus framework becomes clear, the importance of the interactions between the individual (habitus), power relations (competition for forms of capital) and social structure (the field) (Stringfellow et al, 77). Part of enabling a…
