(Im)possible categorisation? Using multiple correspondence analysis on ‘mixed’ ethnic categories in UK higher education
Despite the growing number of mixed ethnic populations in higher education in the UK, there is a lack of information about their complex multiethnic experiences. This paper aims to address the issue of racial categorisation from an intersectional multiethnic perspective, enhancing our understanding of mixed ethnic concerns and showcasing the richness of the various hidden subcategories. We adopt a mixed methods approach to multiethnic analysis, u…
Power, precarity and diversity in the field of publicly funded arts and culture: An analysis of Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisations
Beyond the “substitution effect”: The impact of digital experience quality on future cultural participation
The "pivot" to digital that many arts and culture organisations faced during the Covid-19 pandemic, revealed a complex nexus of effects that includes significant accessibility improvements (for example, for D/deaf and disabled audiences) but also a replication of many pre-existing exclusions.We argue that understanding the experiences of online audiences can help inform arts and culture organisations' next steps in adapting to the current period …

Exploring patterns of children’s cultural participation: Parental cultural capitals and their transmission
Cultural participation during childhood significantly impacts an individual’s chances of future social mobility and well-being. Research to date has focused disproportionately on adults’ cultural practices, failing to comprehensively examine how children’s cultural participation is formed, structured and linked to their parents’. Drawing upon data from the Taking Part Survey, this article first examines the cultural profiles that emerge in childr…
Getting things done: Inequalities, Internet use and everyday life
The study of mundane, everyday uses of the Internet remains an emerging field of inquiry. Analysing data from a large seven country survey of Internet use and adapting concepts and methods developed by Bourdieu, we show that there are distinct clusters of users who use the Internet in diverse ways to solve everyday problems, such as buying a mobile phone or diagnosing an illness. Such everyday problem-solving is dependent upon degrees of economic…
From occupational to existential class: How to analyze class structure in hybrid societies (The case of Serbia)
In this article, we propose a model to analyze the class structure of hybrid post-socialist societies in South-East Europe (SEE), using the case of Serbia. We argue that, in such hybrid societies, social inequalities are generated by several mechanisms of similar strength: exploitative market mechanisms (based on economic capital) and different types of social closure mechanisms (based on political and social capital). Their influences are intert…
The stratification of media usage in Finland, 2007–2018: Signs of socio-political polarization
Over the last 10–15 years, Western societies have faced two interrelated social changes: the digitalization of media and the increase in socio-political polarization. While their relationship is causally reciprocal, population-level empirical studies focusing on over-time change remain scarce. We adopt the temporal perspective on the socio-political stratification of media usage in the context of Finland, one of the so-called Nordic media welfare…
Culture is digital: Cultural participation, diversity and the digital divide
Digital media are seen as important instruments of increasing participation and diversity in arts and culture. To examine whether this view is justified, this article draws on two bodies of research that have hitherto remained disconnected: research on cultural participation and research on the digital divide. Building on these insights, the article examines the Taking Part Survey data on digital media and cultural participation in the United Kin…

Socio-spatial mobilities and narratives of class identity in Britain
In this article we carry out the most comprehensive analysis of social and spatial mobility in the UK to date and the first to directly link different dimensions of mobility to processes of social class formation. Using new analytical techniques in this field, we integrate quantitative and qualitative data from the 1958 Birth Cohort Study, combining text-mining and correspondence analysis in order to examine the intersection of geographical and s…
Fields of participation and lifestyle in England: Revealing the regional dimension from a reanalysis of the Taking Part Survey using Multiple Factor Analysis
This paper addresses the concerns of the Understanding Everyday Participation project with the relationship between cultural participation and space. Here we approach the notion of space in two different but complementary ways. Our main focus is on geographical variations in participation, which we explore at the regional level in England. However, in order to do so, we begin by re-evaluating the nature of the cultural field itself and the way th…
The Global Omnivore: Identifying Musical Taste Groups in Austria, England, Israel and Serbia
This research offers a unique opportunity to revisit the omnivore hypothesis under a unified method of cross-national analysis. To accomplish this, we interpret omnivourism as a special case of cultural eclecticism ( Ollivier, 2008 ; Ollivier, Gauthier and Truong, 2009 ). Our methodological approach incorporates the simultaneous analysis of locally produced and globally known musical genres. Its objective is to verify whether cultural omnivourism…

Musical preferences and technologies: Contemporary material and symbolic distinctions criticized
Music as a mechanism for social distinction is well established. Yet, perhaps more than any other form of cultural expression, it is music which has been systematically transformed by emerging technologies. From the gramophone, radio, cassette and CD, through to portable devices and shared through social media, music is in constant flux. To separate taste for music from its various acquisitional forms is to undermine its role in society. In this …
Musical Distinctions in England – Understanding Cultural Homology and Omnivourism through a Methods Comparison
P. Bourdieu’s homology thesis and R. A. Peterson’s cultural omnivourism have particularly captured the attention of scholars on cultural stratification. Research has supported one hypothesis, the other, or both simultaneously. Meanwhile, a question remains unanswered: do different statistical methods offer consistent results? This article reviews and compares several methodological frameworks published over the last 30 years. The wide range of al…
