具体描述
In this major new work, Pierre Bourdieu examines the distinctive forms of power--political, intellectual, bureaucratic, and economic--by means of which contemporary societies are governed. What kinds of competence are claimed by the bureaucrats and technocrats who govern us? And how do those who govern gain our recognition and acquiescence? Bourdieu examines in detail the work of consecration that is carried out by elite education systems--in France by the "grande ecoles," in the United States by the Ivy League schools, and in England by Oxford and Cambridge. Today, this "state nobility" has at its disposal an unprecedented range of powers and distinctive titles to justify its privilege. Bourdieu shows how it is the heir--structural and sometimes genealogical--of the "noblesse de robe," which, in order to consolidate its position in relation to other forms of power, had to construct the modern state and the republican myths, meritocracy, and civil service that went along with it. Combining ethnographic description, historical documentation, statistical analysis, and theoretical argument, Bourdieu develops a wide-ranging and highly original account of the forms of power and governance that have come to prevail in our society today.

p34数据分析和理论分析的结合,很有意思,这是一个很好的研究范本p189 苦行的力量。p193 人们出生高贵,但他们必须变得高贵。权力场域极其变化比较重要,尤其是对于家族试图维护自身利益的分析。最后一段对韦伯的批判发扬,以及与僧侣、骑士、劳动阶级的旧三级的比较很有意思。

Educational institution is a cognitive machine that impose and perpetuate principles of vision and division. In this system of differences, the best classified become the classifier. #always a pain to read Bourdieu
