Culture, Class, Distinction
Book (italiano):
Following on the 1960's cultural study by Bourdieu on cultural perceptions in France, Bennett and fellow sociologists at the Economic social Research Council Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change surveyed and interviewed a cross-section of British respondents, including recent immigrants on their cultural tastes and attitudes. The results make interesting reading, especially the verbatim records. The first section of the report covers theory and methodology. The second part outlines the subject matter: music, reading, visual art, films, sport and cuisine. This section is enlivened by quotes from the interviewees. Part four gives conclusions by economic/educational class, gender and age. Rather than using bar graphs to chart results, the researchers use multi-colored dots on an axis. This shows the variety within the responses. The study concludes that, unlike France of forty years ago, Britain today is more fluid in tastes and there is less sense of superiority/inferiority across the board, even though there is still a perception of a cultural gap between, for example, fans of opera and fans of country-western music.
