message: The article has hitherto not been published in French, but its section on cultural capital is largely based on Les Trois états du capital culturel in Actes de la Recherche en Sciences Sociales, 30 (1979), see below). Here, cultural capital was described as follows:
La notion de capital culturel s'est imposée d'abord comme une hypothèse indispensable pour rendre compte de l'inégalité des performances scolaires des enfants issus des différentes classes sociales en rapportant la `réussite scolaire', c'est-à-dire les profits spécifiques que les enfants des différentes classes peuvent obtenir sur le marché scolaire à la distribution du capital culturel entre les classes et les fractions de classes. Ce point de départ implique une rupture avec les présupposés inhérents aussi bien à la vision ordinaire qui tient le succès ou l'échec scolaire pour un effet des `aptitudes' naturelles qu'aux théories du `capital humain'.
  "The notion of cultural capital first stood out as a theory which was essential in accounting for the inequality of performance at school of children from different social classes yielding "success at school", that is the specific profits which children of different classes can make on the school market in the distribution of cultural capital between the classes and sections of the classes. This starting-point implies a break with presuppositions inherent both to the ordinary point of view which considers success or failure at school an effect of natural "aptitude", and to theories of "human capital"."
In Cultural Reproduction and Social Reproduction, Bourdieu and Passeron introduced the idea of cultural reproduction (sometimes known as social reproduction), whereby existing disadvantages and inequalities are passed down from one generation to the next. This, according to Bourdieu, is partly due to the education system and other social institutions. Capitalist societies depend on a stratified social system, where the working class has an education suited for manual labour: levelling out such inequalities would break down the system. Thus, schools in capitalist societies will always be stratified too.
Have moved this second paragraph to a stub on cultural reproduction.JenLouise 04:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

message: but more in the sense of time, cultural, and traditions bestow elements of the embodied state to another usually by the family through socialisation.
This seems ungrammatical; the syntax is extremely confusing. This is my guess at its meaning: in the sense that temporal and cultural traditions, of embodied state, are transferred to others, usually by the family, through socialisation.
I only came across this subject, Cultural Capital, because a friend mentioned it. Rintrah 08:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The "Criticism" section can be summarized as "people have made criticisms of Bourdieu, but they're all jerks who misread him on purpose, and here's why their arguments aren't valid and/or Bourdieu's theory is still useful." This feels like original research, and needs to change -- if Bourdieu or his school has a standard response to these arguments, hopefully in a citation-worthy source, this can be added, but otherwise the arguments should stand. NPOV and all that. (Disclaimer: I am not entirely sure I understood this section, but I discuss that below.) 38.113.0.254 (talk) 18:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Or maybe more than that. I'm going to do what I can, but this article has an extremely turgid and difficult writing style. I'm left wondering whether there's really anything of note underneath... Also whether Proust was reincarnated as an anthropologist. 38.113.0.254 (talk) 18:33, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I have contributed in the expansion section talking about author Alexander Inglis' 1918 book, principles of secondary Education. This is another stance on the way cultural Capitol in inbreed into the education system.

message: DiMaggio on cultural capital is barely mentioned -- we need to add the creative element, how "cultural capital" can be NEW stuff, new rituals, new institutions. Somehow this article comes across as static and rigidly reproductive, which most assuredly CC is not -- for ex., the history of the Boston Brahmans in DiMaggio, and the invention of public education in Randall Collins (1979/2019) are examples of how status groups (also not mentioned for some reason) can themselves be innovation hearths. Clearly, the triadic typology presented here is outdated -- too static! and needs to answer the question of social change -- where did all this (back then) new stuff come from? 50.4.132.185 (talk) 00:40, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
