“…The second dimension of Bourdieu's social space comprises relative composition of economic and cultural capital whereas the second dimension in Canadian social space is defined by possession of advanced learning credentials (or no educational credentials) versus economically practical credentials. These results can be contrasted with those of Coulangeon and Lemel (2009) and Le Roux et al (2008) who found little evidence that cultural practices in modern France and the United Kingdom are influenced by relative composition of economic and cultural capitals.…”

“…My first research question pertains to the structure of Canadian social space, in particular to the forms of capital that provide the distances between people and practices within the space. Total composition of economic capital in the form of wealth and institutionalized cultural capital in the form of educational credentials appear to structure the primary dimension of social space, the dimension along which social classes are presumably arrayed, in France of the 1960-70s (Bourdieu 1984), France of 2003 (Coulangeon and Lemel 2009) and the United Kingdom of 2003 (Le Roux et al 2008). Relative composition of wealth and educational credentials also contributes to structuring the French social space of the 1960-70s but not the modern spaces of France and the UK.…”

“…Our model also indicates at a field-level there exists a structural homology between the celebrity in structured reality television and the types of celebrity 'products' that are desired by consumers, producers and the media, which derives from the collective understanding of attributes, social relations and norms. Structural homology assumes that social class structure is linked to aesthetic preference, and therefore that people's tastes are channeled by their position in the class structure (Coulangeon & Lemel, 2009). Skeggs and Wood (2009) concur that all representations are at some level always about class, and posit that everyday stories and 'ordinary people' on television, in particular, are representative of the structures of classbased social relationships.…”

“…Central to Bourdieu's theory are the notions of habitus and capital . Habitus is defined as a system of internalized dispositions that structures behaviors, beliefs, thoughts, and lifestyles that correspond to one's position in society (Bourdieu ; Coulangeon and Lemel ). The habitus serves a double function: it produces practices and behaviors associated with one's social standing as well as judgments and classifications of the lifestyles of others (Lizardo ).…”
