As one of the most prestigious high schools in the nation, St. Paul's School in Concord, New Hampshire, has long been the exclusive domain of America's wealthiest sons. But times have changed. Today, a new elite of boys and girls is being molded at St. Paul's, one that reflects the hope of openness but also the persistence of inequality. In "Privilege", Shamus Khan returns to his alma mater to provide an inside look at an institution that has been the private realm of the elite for the past 150 years. He shows that St. Paul's students continue to learn what they always have - how to embody privilege. Yet, while students once leveraged the trappings of upper-class entitlement, family connections, and high culture, current St. Paul's students learn to succeed in a more diverse environment. To be the future leaders of a more democratic world, they must be at ease with everything from highbrow art to everyday life - from Beowulf to Jaws - and view hierarchies as ladders to scale. Through deft portrayals of the relationships among students, faculty, and staff, Khan shows how members of the new elite face the opening of society while still preserving the advantages that allow them to rule.
此篇不算书评,算瞎扯。 “持续的不平等被模糊,稀释为个体的艰难而不是结构性不平等。” “天赋和才能不是内在的特质而是社会的构建” “.如果精英跟我们很像,那么他们的形象每天都在暗示,精英之所以是精英,是因为他们内在、个人的区别,而不是因为任何他们拥有的分类上的...
评分大胡子Shamus这本新书不错,利用人种志和布迪厄的一些微观互动理论,来理解如今的新精英。 大概有一些重要的理论闪光点如下: 现在的精英靠的是Privilege,而不是继承的entitlement。这样并不是说priviledge完全是个人努力,但如果一个人可以强调自己的出身优势的话,反而会...
评分Privilege: The Making of an Adolescent Elite at St. Paul's School Shamus Rahman Khan, Princeton University Press. January 2011 向来对社会学的书籍比较感兴趣,加上个人口味诡异,对社会等级和流动性的研究抱有偏好,少不更事时,翻过一些Bourdieu的作品(如Distinct...
题目稍微有点大……讲非常贵的私立中学学生的生态。是我那路的八卦人。
评分ethnography on meritocracy and the new elite. 关于特权的操演性那段 非常棒
评分可读性很高的民族志。教育对于阶级再生产,在不同社会有不同的作用方式,不同于布迪厄观察到的法国上层阶级的文化区隔,在美国这种以“开放,包容,努力工作,自我实现”为主流正确观念的社会,上层阶级通过精英学校实现了用个人优势掩盖阶级特权,获得了正当性。最早的资本贵族面对“血汗工厂”尚有阶级的负罪感,并在文化上受封建贵族的嘲弄,这些资产阶级的子女们在60年代革命里颠覆了传统贵族的文化优势,完成了父辈未竟的文化革命;而现代的资本贵族利用教育,逐渐让自己的优势变得如封建社会的血缘贵族那样“自然”。
评分还是很耐读的,纯粹作为印证个人印象,多有拍案叫绝的段落,呵呵。
评分by becoming more democratic the elite have undercut the power of the weak within our nation.
