Cultural Reproduction and Social Reproduction

Bourdieu, Pierre·2018·Knowledge, Education, and Cultural Change

Abstract

The specific role of the sociology of education is assumed once it has established itself as the science of the relations between cultural reproduction and social reproduction. This occurs when it endeavours to determine the contribution made by the educational system to the reproduction of the structure of power relationships and symbolic relationships between classes, by contributing to the reproduction of the structure of the distribution of cultural capital among these classes. The transmission from generation to generation of accumulated information, classical theories tend to dissociate the function of cultural reproduction proper to all educational systems from their function of social reproduction. The greater reliability of the survey carried out by the Centre of European Sociology of the European museum public is due to the fact that it was based upon the degree of effective practice and not on the statements of those being questioned.

  • Bourdieu saw the need for recognition by others as foundational for the human condition and argued that the social world provides what is rarest, recognition, consideration, in other words, quite simply, reasons for being.

    “At the root, Bourdieu (68) saw the need for recognition by others as foundational for the human condition and argued that the social world provides “what is rarest, recognition, consideration, in other words, quite simply, reasons for being.””

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
