Cultural practices and social relations
Abstract
In this chapter the author examines how the term “cultural capital” can be used in analysis and reflects upon possible methods of operationalizing the concept. The first step involves defining cultural capital and its dimensions. The concept is then applied to the class system and status groups. Subsequently, the author addresses the performative aspect of cultural capital, that is, cultural practices. The main objective is to clarify a conceptual “foreground” and define the meaning and potential of key analytical categories to help construct a “map” of cultural practices, with the simultaneous indication of their rank, importance, and applicability to classes and status groups.
