Titolo: Democracy, Distinction and Power in Omnivorous Gourmet Food Culture. A Response to Shyon Baumann and Josée Johnston
Periodico: Sociologica
Anno: 2012 - Volume: 16 - Fascicolo: 2 - Pagina iniziale: 0

This article adds to current sociological debates on cultural taste and social distinction.I particularly discuss the use of cultural capital as an analytical tool for capturing and explainingaspects of distinction within contemporary gourmet food culture, and explore the possibilityof whether a different conceptualization of social distinction is more fruitful for understandingsome of the patterns that are uncovered. I argue, more generally, that all social gaps in culturaltaste cannot be taken as indicators of unequal distribution of power in society, as some Bourdieu-inspired scholars, tend to do.
