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.

作为一本社会学领域颇有名气的著作,我只能遗憾地说,阅读体验实在一般。翻译是一个问题,对原著的翻译并不流畅,读起来有佶屈聱牙之感。当然,另外也许是我自身问题,觉得本身虽然有那么一些聚焦点,但整体上并不集中,显得比较散乱和随意。也即,论点和论证都不凸显,这是一...
评分现在的特权 现在的特权跟过去不一样,不再表现耀武扬威、横冲直撞、飞扬跋扈。 现在的特权是一种被社会所认可的权力。不仅表现在有财富,也表现在有文化,有能力,有素质。这是可以通过学习和训练后得到能力。 在封建社会决定一个人的特权地位,是来自家族的等级身份,比如公爵...
评分 评分 评分写的还是流畅的,不过相对于这个框架,我更喜欢Class Choreographies。这本书想象力一般。
评分定性课老师的ethnography^ ^Highlight of the semester. Fascinating.
评分key concept - corporeal ease; weakness - never a good idea to drop a theoretical term w/o elaboration, could explore class in a more powerful way, over-generalization in gender/performance chapter
评分一方面有过度阐述之嫌,一方面又是阐释不够
评分很有趣的一个社会切面,但论点不怎么新奇。社会学有哪一个人绕得开布尔迪厄吗?没有。
