Description
Taking Bourdieu to TownThe city remains the site of entrenched social and cultural divisions, which take new and acute forms in polarising urban environments. Although the economic dimensions of these are relatively well researched, they also involve a key symbolic and moral dimension, which will be the focus of this workshop. This workshop will explore the role of field analysis in developing conceptual tools for analysing urban inequality; reflect on the role of cultural capital and symbolic violence in urban space, and contribute to our understanding of the spatialisation of urban inequality The seminar will comprise two linked sections. On the first day, leading scholars from across the world will be invited to give papers as part of the preparation of a special issue of a leading urban journal. On the second day, there will be an open call for papers from any researcher wishing to contribute a paper on any of the themes listed here. Discussants will be arranged from amongst the speakers on the seminar on the first day.
