  • Bourdieu's Five Lessons for Criminology
    Law Critique DOI 10.1007/s10978-017-9218-3 Bourdieu’s Five Lessons for Criminology Victor L. Shammas1 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2017 Abstract Drawing on a close reading of Pierre Bourdieu’s works, I offer five lessons for a science of crime and punishment: (1) always historicize; (2) dissect symbolic categories; (3) produce embodied accounts; (4) avoid state thought; and (5) embrace commitment. I offer illustrative examples and demonstrate the practical implications of Bourdieu’s ideas, and I apply the lessons to a critique of orthodox criminology. Keywords Critical criminology Á Embodiment Á Historicization Á Pierre Bourdieu Á State theory Introduction Criminology has been remarkably slow to absorb Bourdieu’s ideas. This is partly explicable by Bourdieu’s own relative lack of engagement with crime and punishment, albeit with some notable exceptions (e.g. Bourdieu 1987, 2014; Bourdieu et al. 1999). Bourdieu also represents a continental European moment in the social sciences: trained at the E` cole Normale Superieure in the 1950s and steeped in the Heideggerian–Husserlian–Hegelian traditions of postwar French philosophy, Bourdieu’s approach may appear abstruse to contemporary researchers engaged in essentially practical studies of relatively circumscribed empirical domains. Most criminologists simply lack the philosophical training required to appropriate fully Bourdieu’s critical-reflexive agenda. Notwithstanding, a Bour- dieusian movement has gained ground within criminology in recent years. & Victor L. Shammas [email protected] 1 Department of Sociology and Human Geography, University of Oslo, PO Box 1096 Blindern, 0317 Oslo, Norway 123 V. L. Shammas Criminologists and penologists are putting Bourdieu to work, mobilizing and deploying concepts such as the field (Shammas and Sandberg 2016), social capital (Ilan 2013), cultural capital (Sandberg 2008), and habitus (Fleetwood 2016; Sandberg and Fleetwood 2016; Ugwudike 2017) to solve real research puzzles.

  • Bourdieu and Criminology Foreword
    Criminology & Criminal Justice. Special Collection of Articles on: Bourdieu and Criminology Foreword Bourdieu on the Block: Punishment, Policing and the Street Fraser, A. and Sandberg, S (2020) This essay introduces the Special Issue 'Bourdieu on the Block: Punishment, Policing and the Street'. Although Bourdieu wrote comparatively little on criminological matters, references to Bourdieu's work have in the last decade gathered into a steady stream. There is a sense in which criminology, though something of a late-adopter, may be beginning to undergo its own 'Bourdieusian moment'. Notably, several of the contributions to this emergent discussion have taken place in the pages of this journal. Our intention in bringing them together is to take stock of the 'field of reception' into which Bourdieu's concepts have entered. We have selected articles that directly engage with Bourdieu, either embracing the framework or criticizing it, in something more than a throwaway reference. As represented in the papers, there are at least three tributaries that have pooled to form what we might term a putative Bourdieusian criminology: punishment, policing and the street. In recognizing the mutually constitutive role of structure, culture and agency in the wellspring of social action, Bourdieu creates a vocabulary for a systematic sociology of crime and criminalisation that bears further development and debate. Taken together, we believe these papers demonstrate not only the important role that Bourdieu has played in criminological research but also the potential to expand further. In order to clarify and develop these approaches, we suggest two future directions for the development of a Bourdieusian criminology.

  • Cultural Capital and Habitus
    Review of European Studies; Vol. 11, No. 3; 2019 ISSN 1918-7173 E-ISSN 1918-7181 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Understanding Bourdieu - Cultural Capital and Habitus Xiaowei Huang Correspondence: Xiaowei Huang, School of Art & Design, Guangzhou College of Commerce, Guangzhou, Guangdong Received: July 6, 2019 Accepted: July 23, 2019 Online Published: August 7, 2019 doi:10.5539/res.v11n3p45 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/res.v11n3p45 Abstract This research paper aims at providing a brief and exemplified introduction of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu‘s two particularly important theoretical concepts: Cultural Capital and Habitus. Cultural capital, according to Bourdieu, is gained mainly through an individual‘s initial learning, and is unconsciously influenced by the surroundings (Bourdieu, 2000). In the case of habitus, it relates to the resource of knowledge (Bourdieu 1990). Knowledge is about the way how people view and understand the world, which is gained via a specific culture that an individual lives in. While also showing how Bourdieu‘s work on economic capital, social capital and cultural capital can help us to understand the contemporary world and its practices. Keywords: economic capital, social capital, cultural capital, cultural field, habitus 1. Introduction Pierre Bourdieu has given rise to three particularly important theoretical concepts: cultural capital, cultural field, and habitus. He categories capital into four forms: economic capital, social capital, cultural capital and symbolic capital. This paper focuses on the first three forms of cultural capital. Economic capital refers to possessing economic resources, such as money and properties. These are constructed by elements of production.

  • Sociology As Self-Transformation
    SOCIOLOGY AS BOURDIEU'SSELF-TRANSFORMATION CLASS THEORY The Appeal &The Limitations Academic of as the Revolutionary Work of Pierre Bourdieu DYLAN RILEY ierre Bourdieu was a universal intellectual whose work ranges from P highly abstract, quasi-philosophical explorations to survey research, and whose enormous contemporary influence is only comparable to that previously enjoyed by Sartre or Foucault. Born in 1930 in a small provincial town in southwestern France where his father was the local postman, he made his way to the pinnacle of the French academic establishment, the École Normale Supérieur ( ENS), receiving the agrégation in philosophy in 1955. Unlike many other normaliens of his generation, Bourdieu did not join the Communist Party, although his close collaborator Jean-Claude Passeron did form part of a heterodox communist cell organized by Michel Foucault, and Bourdieu was clearly influenced by Althusserian Marxism in this period.1 Following his agrégation, Bourdieu’s original plan was to produce a thesis under the direction of the eminent philosopher of science and historical epistemologist Georges Canguilhem. But his philosophical career was interrupted by the draf. The young scholar was sent to Algeria, evidently as 1 David Swartz, Culture and Power: The Sociology of Pierre Bourdieu (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1997), 20.

  • Revisiting Fromm and Bourdieu: Contributions to Habitus and Realism
    Received: 25 November 2017 Revised: 14 March 2018 Accepted: 23 April 2018 DOI: 10.1111/jtsb.12182 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Revisiting Fromm and Bourdieu: Contributions to habitus and realism Carmen M. Grillo Graduate Program in Sociology, York Abstract University, Canada Realist scholars are increasingly turning their attention Correspondence to Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus or dispositions Carmen M. Grillo, Graduate Program in Sociology, York University, Canada. as a way of theorizing thought and behaviour. In this Email: [email protected] article, the author offers a contribution, based on Erich Fromm's social psychology, to the realist theory of habitus. The author argues that while Bourdieu and Fromm both see the quest for meaning as the source of subjectivity in social life, Fromm goes further than Bourdieu in analysing the psychodynamic conse- quences of the acquisition of habitus. Fromm provides additional tools to understand the properties of habitus that emerge from its interaction with primary psycho- logical needs. Principally, Fromm's work reveals an undertheorized set of emergent properties of habitus. KEYWORDS Erich Fromm, habitus, Pierre Bourdieu, psychoanalysis, realism In this article, I revisit the connection between Pierre Bourdieu's and Erich Fromm'sideas, to contribute to the realist conception of habitus. Realism has become influential in the social sci- ences (Nash, 1999, p. 445), likely because it has been constructed as a way forward through the impasse between constructionism and naturalism (Gorski, 2013, p. 659). Based on the growing influence of realism and the centrality of Pierre Bourdieu's work in contemporary social theory, it is no surprise that some realists have turned towards Bourdieu's concept of habitus as a way of specifying the causal powers of individuals (DeCoteau, 2016; Nash, 2003; Sayer, 2011, 2012), despite Margaret Archer'swell‐known critiques of Bourdieu and habitus (Archer, 2010, 2012).

  • The Sociology of Youth Subcultures
    Peace Review 16:4, December (2004), 409-4J 4 The Sociology of Youth Subcultures Alan O'Connor The main theme in the sociology of youth subcultures is the reladon between social class and everyday experience. There are many ways of thinking about social class. In the work of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu the main factors involved are parents' occupation and level of education. These have signilicant effects on the life chances of their children. Social class is not a social group: the idea is not that working class kids or middle class kids only hang out together. There may be some of this in any school or town. Social class is a structure. It is shown to exist by sociological research and many people may only be partly aware of these structures or may lack the vocabulary to talk about them. It is often the case that people blame themselves—their bad school grades or dead-end job—for what are, at least in part, the effects of a system of social class that has had significant effects on their lives. The main point of Bourdieu's research is to show that many kids never had a fair chance from the beginning. n spite of talk about "globalizadon" there are significant differences between Idifferent sociedes. Social class works differently in France, Mexico and the U.S. For example, the educadon system is different in each country. In studying issues of youth culture, it is important to take these differences into account. The system of social class in each country is always experienced in complex ways.

  • Distinction Worldwide?: Bourdieu's Theory of Taste in International Context
    Poetics 31 (2003) 403–421 www.elsevier.com/locate/poetic Distinction worldwide?: Bourdieu’s theory of taste in international context Danielle Kane1 Department of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA 19104-62, USA Abstract Applications of Bourdieu’s theory of taste have focused almost exclusively on French- American comparisons. This paper uses original data to identify the cultural repertoires, the level of cultural participation, and the personal qualities used in symbolic boundary forma- tion for an international sample of young elites. The study found evidence for two domains of cultural stratification: arts activities and sports activities. Rates of participation in arts activ- ities varied across world region but were consistently higher than arts participation found in the GSS national sample. Regional variations in personal qualities desired in friends cast new light on past comparisons; again, despite this variation, arts-related personal qualities were valued more by this sample of elites than by the GSS sample. Sports activities emerged as a major candidate for legitimate culture in the examples of upper-class cultural repertoires generated by respondents; American domination of sports culture was the only consistent regional pattern found. A major finding of this study is the disjuncture in findings among cultural repertoires, cultural participation, and symbolic boundaries, all of which have been assumed to be aspects of a single cultural stratification concept. # 2003 Elsevier B.V.

  • Bourdieu the Ethnographer the Ethnographic Grounding of Habitus and Voice1
    The Translator. Volume 11, Number 2 (2005), 219-236 ISBN 1-900650-86-X Bourdieu the Ethnographer The Ethnographic Grounding of Habitus and Voice1 JAN BLOMMAERT Institute of Education, University of London & Ghent University, Belgium Abstract. A remarkable feature of the way in which Bourdieu’s work has been adopted in studies of language in society is the emphasis on Bourdieu as a macro-sociologist providing insights into the larger processes of structuration in tightly integrated First- World societies. Yet, Bourdieu himself consistently emphasized the ethnographic epistemological foundations of his work, and espe- cially in the last years of his life abundantly acknowledged influences from ethnography. This paper delves into Bourdieu’s views on ethnography-as-epistemology, arguing that one of Bourdieu’s central concepts, habitus, should be seen as inextri- cably linked to situated ethnographic inquiry. Taking habitus as an ethnographic concept, we may find better ways of investigat- ing problems of voice – the conditions for speaking in society. This point is illustrated with examples from the Belgian asylum procedure, where habituated conversational practices by the in- terviewer simultaneously appear to contain proleptic moves that ‘prepare’ the story of the applicant for the next step in the asylum procedure. We see in this form of simultaneity the on-the-spot, layered deployment of macro-social (institutional) conventions through conversational, co-operative practices. The concerned was interrogated on November 23, 1993 at the [High Commissariat for Refugees and Stateless Persons] in the presence of 1 I thank Moira Inghilleri for gently twisting my arm to write this article, thus allowing me to revise and expand the short essay on ‘Bourdieu the ethnographer’ which I had written as the introductory paper for a panel on ‘Bourdieu and Ethnography’ (Interna- tional Pragmatics Conference, Toronto, July 2003).
