Convertibility of Cultural Capital
A defining feature of cultural capital is its propensity for accumulation and the potential of its convertibility. However, there are a lack of studies that would explore how different forms of cultural capital could be employed as an advantage. This paper addresses this gap by exploring the effect of cultural capital on achieving educational outcomes while utilising a detailed array of questions focused on cultural practices and taste. The study…

Cultural hierarchies enable an understanding of how consumption takes part in the reproduction of social inequalities in current societies. The changing nature of these hierarchies reveals a tension between established and emerging forms of cultural capital. This article explores this tension in the context of an understudied European cultural semi-periphery country. It focuses on young university students in a social milieu where new trends, est…
Housing estates' trajectories in post-socialist countries
An increasing number of studies focus on the divergent trajectories of housing estates in post-socialist cities; however, they are mostly case studies of particular cities. There is little research that offers a more systematic and comparative analysis of different housing estates between the settlement systems of different countries. This study aims to explore the trajectories of housing estates from 1989 to 2011 by examining neighbourhood trans…
Cultural Capital at the University
Cultural capital is an important part of the conceptual apparatus of research on inequalities and social reproduction. The putative transformation of cultural hierarchies in contemporary society, however, opens up the question of whether it still makes any sense to speak of 'legitimate taste' and eventually of what the nature this legitimate taste might be. This article examines what constitutes legitimate culture in the context of university-lev…
Measuring Cultural Capital
The concept of legitimate culture plays a crucial role in the study of the relationship between the differentiation of tastes and the reproduction of social inequalities. Nevertheless, the actual role of legitimate culture in present society is often disputed in light of a supposed crumbling of the privileged structure of the fine arts. Meanwhile, the existing practice of survey research often neglects this institutional dimension of the legitimi…
Sporting activities and social stratification in the Czech Republic
Sports have assumed an important role among leisure activities in recent decades. The description of trends in sports participation and their differentiation among social groups are well documented, especially in the context of Western European countries. This paper uses unique datasets obtained from representative surveys of the Czech adult population conducted in 1984, 1991 and 2009 to analyze the relationship between leisure activities and soc…
Czech Housing Estates
Housing estates are one of the most important legacies of the socialist regime and continue to infl uence the shape of Czech towns even today. Despite pessimistic predictions about their future in the early 1990s, they are still a widespread and valued type of housing. This article, unlike other primarily economically oriented studies, analyses the situation and possible future development of Czech housing states by combining three theoretical pe…
