- Social critique of the Judgement of taste & the forms of capital - Bordieu 1984 / 1986
- 'class fractions' are determined by varying degrees of social, economic & cultural capital
- dominant 'ruling' class has the power to shape which attributes are valued, & are in a position to acquire & pass on capital to their children (spawn)
- cultural capital
- knowledge, attitudes, skills, education & advantages that a person has giving them higher status
- economic capital
- economic resources, cash & assets
- social capital
- resources based on group membership, relationships, networks of influence & support
- all the capitals are interrelated & someone with high levels of one type of capital is more likely to attain others too
- cultural capital is the most significant for B
- parents provide for their spawn with cc by transmitting attitudes & knowledge
- may include right ways of speaking & behaving in different situations
- knowledge of high culture, etiquette, confidence in different social situations
- those with high levels of cc will be in a position to accumulate other forms of capital too
- Bordieu is a Marxist, argued that the power of the ruling class allows them to define the knowledge & skills that are valued
- ensure that they & their children are in the best position to acquire them, giving an unfair advantage
- 'class fractions' are determined by varying degrees of social, economic & cultural capital
