“…Such a priori categorisations were particularly applied in some early omnivore studies (e.g., Emmison, 2003;López Sintas and García Álvarez, 2004;Peterson, 1992;Peterson and Kern, 1996;Van Eijck et al, 2002). Later, concepts such as 'high culture' or 'highbrow consumers' were inferred from taste patterns among certain status groups (e.g., Warde, 2011), for instance by means of factor, cluster or multiple correspondence analysis (e.g., Coulangeon, 2013b;Elchardus and Siongers, 2007;Prieur et al, 2008;Van Eijck, 2001). 2 Yet, if high status consumers have boundary-crossing tastes, the relevance of separate domains -high culture as the preferences of high status groups -disappears.…”

Although cultural hierarchy is a social construction-the result of ever changing distinction practices by elites-the consequential division between 'high culture' and 'low culture' is often either taken for granted as a fixed opposition, or disputed because of waning boundaries. To what extent individuals of different status groups adhere to such hierarchy is not known, nor whether changed cultural taste patterns result in alternate perceptions. This article aims to unravel cultural taste, perceptions of and opinions on cultural hierarchy, by means of a ranking task with musical items among ninety people in the Netherlands. It shows, first, that perceptions of cultural hierarchy are still sound among many, regardless of egalitarian opinions. Second, many distinguish personal tastes-which are evidently diverse-from their perceptions of cultural hierarchy-on which a certain agreement exists. Third, this agreement is not absolute, as there are several deviations, that are related to educational level and age.

“…Povaha kulturních diferencí v současné společnosti a přetrvávání legitimní kultury je jednou z klíčových otázek současného výzkumu kulturní stratifikace a vztahu kulturní spotřeby a sociálních nerovností [Warde 2017]. Zároveň, přestože kulturní aspekty sociální stratifikace nejsou v české sociologii zcela neznámé [Šafr 2006, 2008], chybí dosud ucelenější pokus o rekonstrukci českého kulturního prostoru tak, jak jej můžeme nalézt v Dánsku [Prieur, Rosenlund, Skjott--Larsen 2008], Velké Británii [Bennett et al 2008], Holandsku [Meuleman, Savage 2013], Finsku [Purhonen, Gronow, Rahkonen 2010] a dalších evropských zemích.…”

Cultural capital is an important part of the conceptual apparatus of research on inequalities and social reproduction. The putative transformation of cultural hierarchies in contemporary society, however, opens up the question of whether it still makes any sense to speak of 'legitimate taste' and eventually of what the nature this legitimate taste might be. This article examines what constitutes legitimate culture in the context of university-level study. It focuses on the differentiation of taste and the way in which the space of cultural consumption is structured by academic disciplines and university faculties. The article draws on data from a questionnaire survey of first-and second-year students at Charles University in 2017 (n = 5127) and conducts a multiple correspondence analysis. It shows that the first dimension of the cultural space of students can be interpreted as the axis of overall cultural capital without any specific differentiation. The third dimension of cultural space, by contrast, convincingly captures a cleavage between traditional cultural capital and a new form of cultural capital. The amount of cultural capital accumulated depends on the kind of academic disciplines studied, but another significant structuring element of cultural capital is the environment of individual university faculties itself.

“…Her er òg mange studiar som viser at tradisjonell høgkultur har tapt seg i utbreiing og derav som skiljemekanisme (Bennett et al 2009;Prieur, Rosenlund & Skjøtt-Larsen 2008;Hovden, Gripsrud & Moe 2011). Dette er ei langt mindre kritisk innvending enn den som hevdar at smakshierarkia har brote saman.…”

Pierre Bourdieu sine analysar av klasse-, kultur-og smaksforskjellar i Distinksjonen (1984 [1979]) bygde på undersøkingar frå Frankrike på 1960-og 70-talet. Analysane er breitt sitert og kritisert, men spørsmålet som stadig vert reist er: kor fruktbart er det å nytta Bourdieu sine analytiske omgrep og metodiske strategiar frå Distinksjonen i studiar i dag, om lag 50 år seinare, og i andre kontekstar enn den franske?Både internasjonalt (sjå t. (nr. 4, 2007, nr. 2, 2008, nr. 3, 2008 og nr. 2, 2012). Debatten vart sett i gong av Ove Skarpenes sin artikkel «Den 'legitime' kulturens moralske forankring» (2007), i dag omtala som Skarpenes-debatten. I det norske sosiologiske miljøet er det tillaup til polarisering mellom det Håkon Larsen omtalar som «den nye kultursosiologien» (2013); med fransk ny-pragmatisme, repertoarteori og «det sterke programmet» som «utfordrarar» til meir eller mindre tradisjonell Bourdieu-inspirert kultursosiologi, og desse sine støttespelarar og avleggjarar i norsk sosiologi. I det seinare har det òg vore ei meiningsutveksling om kor vidt Larsen sitt forsøk på ny skuledanning innan kultursosiologien er slagkraftig eller ei (Mangset 2016;Larsen 2016). I så vel Distinksjonen som i diskusjonen om Distinksjonen i Noreg er spørsmålet om kulturell legitimitet sentralt. Kva kulturformer og estetiske uttrykk haustar anerkjenning, og med kva rettmessigheit? Kva har kulturell legitimitet i Noreg, og ikkje minst, korleis gå fram for å få svar på spørsmålet?Artikkelen er ein kommentar til debatten om kulturell legitimitet i Noreg. Eg skal diskutera brukbarheita i Bourdieu sine analytiske omgrep og metodiske strategiar frå Distinksjonen, via plass til kritikk reist mot desse, samt presentera ny empiri om ulike sosiale grup-
