  • The Politics of the Elite: Ideological Orientations, Mothering, and Social Mobilities in Neoliberal Chile

    Modesto Gayo, María Luisa Méndez•BOOK•The Politics of the Elite•2023

    This book is a study of class formation at the top of the social hierarchies during the turbulent and changing early twenty-first century. Contrary to perceptions that privileged individuals exist according to little more than market and economic logics, the book provides evidence that they are by no means absent from politics and civic engagement. Adopting a focus on reproduction, distinction, and politics, it delves into the complex relationshi…

  • Neighbourhood cohesion as a form of privilege

    Open Access•María-Luisa Méndez, María Luisa Méndez et al.•ARTICLE•Urban Studies•2021•Cited by: 12•References: 57

    Contrary to the idea that neighbourhood cohesion is something that inherently benefits the poor or counterbalances the forces of social exclusion, in this article we argue that it can also function as a mechanism of cumulative advantage. In order to explore this proposal, we offer a definition and key dimensions of neighbourhood cohesion based on three components: place attachment, local relations and commitment to the local common good. We test …

  • Fields, Capitals, Habitus: Australian Culture, Inequalities and Social Divisions

    Tony Bennett-undifferentiated, Tony Bennett et al.•BOOK•Fields, Capitals, Habitus•2020

    Fields, Capitals, Habitus provides an insightful analysis of the relations between culture and society in contemporary Australia. Presenting the findings of a detailed national survey of Australian cultural tastes and practices, it demonstrates the pivotal significance of the role culture plays at the intersections of a range of social divisions and inequalities: between classes, age cohorts, ethnicities, genders, city and country, and the relati…

  • Elección escolar y selección de familias: Reproducción de la clase media alta en Santiago de Chile

    Open Access•Modesto Gayo, Gabriel Otero et al.•ARTICLE•Revista Internacional de Sociología•2019•Cited by: 7•References: 4

    La elección de colegio ha sido identificada como un momento clave en el proceso de reproducción social de la clase media alta. En Chile, en las últimas décadas, el modelo escolar ha dependido en su mayor parte, de lo que se entiende como la elección del colegio por parte de las familias. Este modelo de política pública ha convivido con la selección de los estudiantes que han hecho, a su vez, las instituciones de enseñanza. En este artículo aporta…

  • Rare books? The divided field of reading and book culture in contemporary Australia

    Michelle Kelly, Modesto Gayo et al.•ARTICLE•Continuum•2018•References: 4

    This paper investigates Australians’ reading tastes and engagement with books and book culture. We examine data from the Australian Cultural Fields survey for evidence of a ‘reading class’ in contemporary Australia. The space of Australian reading as illustrated by multiple correspondence analysis shows demarcated spaces of reading engagement and disengagement, zones of consuming fiction and non-fiction and varying levels of involvement with book…

  • For all Australians? An analysis of the heritage field

    Emma Waterton, Modesto Gayo•ARTICLE•Continuum•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 5

    This article presents a field analysis of heritage tastes and patterns of engagements in Australia. Using multiple correspondence analysis, it examines a dimension of data collected as part of the 2014–2015 national survey on Australian cultural practices. The data are positioned against the recently published Australian Heritage Strategy, released in 2015, which marks out heritage as a cultural orientation of relevance ‘for all Australians’ (12)…

  • Television in Australia: Capitals, Tastes, Practices and Platforms

    Open Access•Tony Bennett, Modesto Gayo et al.•ARTICLE•Media International Australia•2018•Cited by: 3•References: 21

    This article discusses the findings of a national survey of the social organisation of television viewing practices in contemporary Australia. These questions are addressed through multiple correspondence analyses of the aspects of television practices and tastes covered in the survey. These go beyond channel and genre preferences to include a sample of Australian and overseas produced television programmes and of 10 Australian TV personalities. …

  • The Australian sport field: Moving and Watching

    Open Access•Modesto Gayo, David Rowe•ARTICLE•Media International Australia•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 16

    The Australian sport field (as in other countries) is powerfully influenced by the media field, and for this reason, the survey on which this article is based placed considerable emphasis on mediated spectatorship. The survey, which draws on and adapts the work of Pierre Bourdieu, revealed differences in the place of sport in the lives of respondents, with a majority never playing it, but an even larger majority watching sport through the media, …

  • Favourite Sounds: The Australian music field

    Open Access•Ben Dibley, Modesto Gayo•ARTICLE•Media International Australia•2018•References: 16

    Drawing on data from the Australian Cultural Fields survey, this article investigates the music field. Following the protocols of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), it charts the music field in Australia, mapping the cultural and social contours of those who populate this space. In this context, the article considers the notion of emerging cultural capital deployed in recent surveys on social class. The article questions the contention that …

  • Exploring Cultural Disengagement: The Example of Chile

    Open Access•Modesto Gayo•ARTICLE•Cultural Sociology•2017•Cited by: 4•References: 34

    Research on cultural capital has been very attentive to cultural participation. In numerous explorations of the social basis of participatory practices, a division between cultural engagement and disengagement has been frequently observed. In accordance with Bourdieu's seminal work on taste, that divide has been predominantly associated with social class issues. But research has only weakly explored the rationale behind people's behaviours in thi…

  • Tertiarization in Chile: Cultural inequality and occupational structure

    Modesto Gayo, María-Luisa Méndez et al.•ARTICLE•CEPAL review•2016

    Tertiarization, or the shift to service economies with an increasing prevalence of non-manual occupations, has been identified as a central phenomenon in contemporary societies. With the purported numerical and political decline of traditional working-class sectors, the middle class has come to be seen in recent decades as the dominant one. This understanding of the way society has evolved has gone along with a growing interest in forms of social…

    A teoria do capital cultural -desenvolvida por Pierre Bourdieu e seus seguidores-, tem mantido uma relao ambivalente com a juventude.

  • Revisiting Middle-Class Politics: A Multidimensional Approach - Evidence from Spain

    Open Access•Modesto Gayo•ARTICLE•The Sociological Review•2013•Cited by: 2•References: 23

    The sociological tradition of thinking about the middle class has made a very significant contribution to the understanding of politics in advanced contemporary societies. This paper approaches the case of Spain within a conceptual and empirical framework derived from that work. Its point of departure is that most analysis of social class in sociology and political science to date has relied on class schemes that attempt to explain single subject…

    El nacionalisme ha estat considerat una ideologia responsable de conflictes socials, guerres i genocidis.
