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...

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.
一个精英高中的民族志研究,作者回到自己的高中,历时一年,得到的结论是精英学生们理所当然的倾向于认为自己刻苦努力而取得的今日成功。关于不平等的研究并没有让不平等深入人心啊。1960年代集体的反抗,今天只剩下个体的盛行,而集体消失了,这也是一个有意思的总结,就像60年代的反文化走向了今天的流向文化,其中的悖论,值得深究。
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。
