“…The value of capital is field specific, and can vary in amount and importance (Huppatz, 2012). Mottier (2002) highlights how symbolic capital occurs when economic, cultural, and social capital are perceived as legitimate. The field of social media, through its interactive nature and “tagging,” demonstrates how identities can be legitimized and function as symbolic.…”

This article examines young people’s negotiation of their identities in relation to gender. We explore this through two important sites for young people—physical relationships in the school environment and mainstream social media sites (e.g., Instagram and Facebook)—with the suggestion that social media is an important site for young people that permits discursive and identity exploration. Specifically, we use a Bourdieusian framework to examine the flow of capital between fields as well as the identities that arise. We draw on the experiences of young people aged 15 or 16 from 70 semistructured interviews (33 young men, 37 young women; M age = 15.7) at three socioeconomically contrasting schools. We argue that for capital to be accrued, young people’s identities are largely required to be consistent between the physical and digital worlds. Moreover, these identities are heavily tied to polarized gender stereotypes of heightened masculinities and femininities. Thus, a young person’s popularity (reinforced in both the fields of social media and schooling) is partly maintained by the negotiation of their gendered body and a gendered identity.

“…Both Bourdieu and MacKinnon claim to have negotiated a path between the extremes of determinism and voluntarism. It is partly this claim that has led feminists to begin to consider Bourdieu's work on gender, and to question whether it might offer a corrective to the more deterministic moments of the more popular Michel Foucault (Adkins, 2003;Lovell, 2000;McNay, 1999McNay, , 2000Mottier, 2002). This recent feminist work on Bourdieu does not tend to invoke the ideas of radical feminism.…”

Feminists are starting to look to the work of Pierre Bourdieu, in the hope that it might provide a useful framework for conceptualizing the tension between structure and agency in questions of gender. This article argues that Bourdieu's analysis of gender can indeed be useful to feminists, but that the options Bourdieu offers for change are problematic. The article suggests that Bourdieu's analysis of gender echoes the work of earlier radical feminists, particularly Catharine MacKinnon, in important ways. Consciousness-raising, one of MacKinnon's strategies for change, sits well with Bourdieu's concept of habitus, despite Bourdieu's own scepticism. The article argues that recasting the role of consciousness-raising in Bourdieu's theory helps to undermine the deterministic elements of his work. It concludes that a feminist turn to Bourdieu as an attempt to understand gender's entrenchment-and-malleability can be fruitful, and that such a turn might find a re-engagement with the idea of consciousness-raising helpful.

“…This work has been subject to extensive critique. As Mottier (2002: 350) notes, Bourdieu conceptualizes gender primarily in terms of sexual difference, which is why, according to her, his approach remains problematic. Dumais (2002) contends that Bourdieu’s work largely implies that ‘gender is a secondary characteristic to social class’ (p. 45).…”

A Fish in Many Waters? Addressing Transnational Habitus and the Reworking of Bourdieu in Global Contexts

This article explores the operationalization of transnational habitus by scholars to understand how individuals experience mobilities across borders. Our scoping study of 21 scholarly publications focuses on the various ways in which transnational habitus is defined as well as the different approaches to theorizing a transnational habitus. In critically mapping the relatively short history of transnational habitus, we are interested in what about habitus appears particularly generative to scholars interested in migratory experiences. The study first charts the sociological scholarship to date on transnational habitus and how it is used to understand the ways in which transnational migrants negotiate and navigate their social and cross-border mobilities. Then, to critically appraise these theorizations, the analysis focuses on two key trends in the literature: treatment of clivé/adaptation and the role of time(lag)/temporality before addressing two key silences in the use of transnational habitus – specifically gender and consideration of differences in class background.
