Abstract:
To Bourdieu, interaction with culture has symbolic power and drives the manifestation of social stratification. Many have adapted his theory and methodology, developing new models of cultural engagement. Here, to further integrate these theoretical and methodological approaches, Bourdieu\'s tools were used to operationalise and interpret a Latent Class Analysis of cultural engagement in the Understanding Society dataset. Six classes of increasing engagement were established, and were increasingly correlated with youth, capital and social advantage. However, some qualitative differences in engagement were also seen. The classes also varied by which characteristics correlated with membership. For example, economic capital was associated with sports engagement, while advantaged social position was associated with broad-scale engagement. Overall, this analysis combined Bourdieusian theory with contemporary methodology in the largest representative UK dataset and highlights the broader relevance of cultural engagement patterns in indicating (and possibly generating) status, identity, capital and social position.

给布迪厄,与文化的互动具有象征性的力量,并驱动着社会分层的表现。许多人适应了他的理论和方法,开发新的文化参与模式。这里,为了进一步整合这些理论和方法论方法,Bourdieu的工具用于操作和解释理解社会数据集中文化参与的潜在阶级分析。建立了六类增加参与度,与青年的关系越来越密切,资本和社会优势。然而,参与方面也有一些质的差异。类别也因其特征与成员资格相关而有所不同。例如,经济资本与体育参与有关,而有利的社会地位与广泛的参与有关。总的来说,这一分析结合了布迪尤斯理论与当代方法论在英国最大的代表性数据集,并强调了文化参与模式在指示(并可能产生)地位方面的更广泛相关性,身份,资本和社会地位。
