Taste, snobbery and distinction on the periphery of European bourgeois hierarchies

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This is a chapter based on a conference lecture given at a conference on Bourdieu and the idea of 'taste' in an art school/theory setting. In this chapter I try to identify the main traits and contradictions encountered in applying Bourdieu's ideas around taste, class, and distinction within a non-European society in which culture is both simultaneously European and also organised as postcolonial and anti-European (as Asian). The collected volume includes many leading names in cultural and art theory from around the globe.
