A Pelican Introduction

2015

Présentation de l'éditeur

A fresh take on social class from the experts behind the BBC's 'Great British Class Survey'.
Why does social class matter more than ever in Britain today?
How has the meaning of class changed?
What does this mean for social mobility and inequality?
In this book Mike Savage and the team of sociologists responsible for the Great British Class Survey look beyond the labels to explore how and why our society is changing and what this means for the people who find themselves in the margins as well as in the centre.
Their new conceptualization of class is based on the distribution of three kinds of capital - economic (inequalities in income and wealth), social (the different kinds of people we know) and cultural (the ways in which our leisure and cultural preferences are exclusive) - and provides incontrovertible evidence that class is as powerful and relevant today as it's ever been.

Mike Savage is Professor of Sociology at the London School of Economics. He has written this book in collaboration with the team of sociology experts behind the Gret British Class Survey: Niall Cunningham, Fiona Devine, Sam Friedman, Daniel Laurison, Lisa Mckenzie, Andrew Miles, Helene Snee and Paul Wakeling.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Cet ouvrage fait le point le plus actuel sur les enjeux épistémologiques, méthodologiques et pratiques de l'utilisation des méthodes d'analyse géométrique des données en sciences sociales. Ces méthodes sont en affinité avec le projet de représenter de façon spatiale la réalité sociale. Développé par Pierre Bourdieu depuis les années 1970 avec la théorie des champs et de l'espace social, ce projet continue de renouveler notre compréhension des structures fondamentales des mondes sociaux. 

Depuis plusieurs années, les méthodes d'analyse géométrique des données (AGD) se diffusent dans les sciences sociales. Loin d'être une "famille de méthodes" parmi d'autres, elles sont en affinité avec le projet de représenter de façon spatiale la réalité sociale. Développé par Pierre Bourdieu depuis les années 1970 avec la théorie des champs et de l'espace social, ce projet continue aujourd'hui de renouveler notre compréhension des structures fondamentales des mondes sociaux. Cet ouvrage a pour but de faire le point le plus actuel sur les enjeux épistémologiques, méthodologiques et pratiques de l'utilisation des méthodes d'analyse géométrique des données en sciences sociales.

Professeur de sociologie à l'université de Versailles-Saint Quentin en Yvelines, il a déjà fait paraître chez Dunod " L'enquête quantitative en sciences sociales" (2006), "La sociologie de A à Z" (2008) et "Les indicateurs sociaux au XXIe siècle". Il est aussi l'auteur du "Manuel visuel de sociologie" (2013).

Bourdieu’s Distinction

Présentation de l'éditeur

This edited collection explores the genesis of Bourdieu's classical book Distinction and its international career in contemporary Social Sciences. It includes contributions from contemporary sociologists from diverse countries who question the theoretical legacy of this book in various fields and national contexts. Invited authors review and exemplify current controversies concerning the theses promoted in Distinction in the sociology of culture, lifestyles, social classes and stratification, with a specific attention dedicated to the emerging forms of cultural capital and the logics of distinction that occur in relation to material consumption or bodily practices. They also empirically illustrate the theoretical contribution of Distinction in relation with such notions as field or habitus, which fruitfulness is emphasized in relation with some methodological innovations of the book. In this respect, a special focus is put on the emerging stream of "distinction studies" and on the opportunities offered by the geometrical data analysis of social spaces.

Time: 12:00-17:00
Location: Chancellor's Building 3.5 , University of Bath

About the seminar

Debates around ways of measuring social class have recently gained momentum through the work of Savage et al, popularized by the Great British Class Survey, a major study of social class patterns in contemporary Britain. This work draws on the many criticisms that have persisted over the last decade or more about the inadequacy of models of class analysis that rely fundamentally on an economic measurement of class position. These criticisms flag up the complexities of social class measurement and suggest that other factors such as social and cultural capital are important in trying to locate someone’s class position. These multiple factors of analysis have become increasingly important as patterns of work and consumption have changed with the loss of industry within the UK and other capitalist societies. This workshop aims to generate discussion about the best ways to try to define and measure social class in contemporary Britain. It will do so by drawing on Bourdieusian theory and engaging with papers by Professor Mike Savage and Dr. Will Atkinson, who each offer their own perspective on utilizing a multiple capitals approach to ascertaining class positioning. It will interrogate the problems and benefits of using these approaches and consider the best ways in which Bourdieusian theory can forward class analysis. The workshop is limited to 50 people and will involve keynote presentations as well as discussion groups.

The workshop will be followed by a wine reception open to all attendees.

Class Inequality in Austerity/ Britain Power, Difference and Suffering

Class Inequality in Austerity Britain 
Power, Difference and Suffering 
Edited by Will Atkinson Steven Roberts and Mike Savage
Palgrave Macmillan
2012

When the Coalition Government came to power in 2010 in claimed it would deliver not just austerity, as necessary as that apparently was, but also fairness. This volume subjects this pledge to critical interrogation by exposing the interests behind the policy programme pursued and their damaging effects on class inequalities. Situated within a recognition of the longer-term rise of neoliberal politics, reflections on the status of sociology as a source of critique and current debates over the relationship between the cultural and economic dimensions of social class, the contributors cover an impressively wide range of relevant topics, from education, family policy and community to crime and consumption, shedding new light on the experience of domination in the early 21st Century.

Workshop: Symbolic power and urban inequality: taking Bourdieu to town, 31 mai-01 juin 2012

". En mai prochain se tiendra à York une conférence organisée avec des collègues britanniques qui réunira des chercheurs du monde entier pour "Emmener Bourdieu en ville", soit tirer un bilan des mérites et des limites de la théorie bourdieusienne appliquée aux études urbaines. Dans tous les cas, il ne s'agit nullement de célébrer un maître momifié mais de mettre ses travaux au travail, en élargissant et en approfondissant les modèles qu'il a construit, mais aussi en les révisant et en les réfutant pour les dépasser lorsque c'est possible. Ainsi va la science et Bourdieu ne l'aurait pas voulu autrement. La grande force de sa pensée réside justement dans le rare alliage qu'elle opère entre la foi dans la raison et l'énergie iconoclaste avec laquelle il l'applique au monde social, et au monde scientifique en tout premier lieu" Loïc Wacquant, Propos recueillis par Nicolas Truong, Le Monde, 23.01.2012

Symbolic power and urban inequality: taking Bourdieu to town

SEMINAR AND WORKSHOP, UNIVERSITY OF YORK, MAY 31ST – JUNE 1ST  2012

Hosts:  the York European Centre for Cultural Exploration (YECCE) and the Centre for Urban Research (CURB)

Organisers: Mike Savage and Loic Wacquant

The city remains the site of entrenched social and cultural divisions, which take new and acute forms in polarising urban environments. Although the economic dimensions of these are relatively well researched, they also involve a key symbolic and moral dimension, which will be the focus of this workshop. This workshop will explore the role of field analysis in developing conceptual tools for analysing urban inequality; reflect on the role of cultural capital and symbolic violence in urban space, and contribute to our understanding of the spatialisation of urban inequality

The event will comprise two linked sections. On the first day, leading scholars from across the world will be invited to give papers as part of the preparation of a special issue of a leading urban journal. For the workshop on the second day, there will be an open call for papers from any researcher wishing to contribute a paper on any of the themes listed here. Discussants and chairs will be arranged from amongst the speakers on the seminar on the first
