Class Position and Musical Tastes: A Sing‐Off between the Cultural Omnivorism and Bourdieusian Homology Frameworks

Abstract: The longstanding debate between the homology and omnivorism approaches to the class bases of cultural tastes and practices rages on in cultural sociology. The homology thesis claims that class positions throughout the class hierarchy are accompanied by specified cultural tastes and specialized modes of appreciating them while the cultural omnivorism thesis contends that elites are (increasingly) characterized by a breadth of cultural tastes of any and all kinds. This study tests the applicability of these thes… Show more

“…SOCIOLOGISTS HAVE LONG been interested in the relationships between socioeconomic position and cultural consumption (Bourdieu ; DiMaggio ; Erickson ; Gans ; Lamont ; Veblen ). In recent decades, the standoff between the theories of homology and omnivorousness has been a central component of this discussion (see Alderson, Junisbai, and Heacock ; Chan and Goldthorpe ; Hazir and Warde ; Veenstra ). Homology contends that socioeconomic position and cultural repertoires largely overlap (Atkinson ; Bourdieu ), whereas omnivorousness claims that social groups are differentiated by the quantity and range of their tastes (Peterson ; Peterson and Kern ).…”

“…Comme l'ont noté Richard A. Peterson et Roger M. Kern (), Philippe Coulangeon (), Omar Lizardo et Sara Skiles (), Nicolas Robette et Olivier Roueff () ou encore Adrian Leguina (), le modèle de l'omnivorité (Peterson ; Peterson et Kern ; Peterson et Simkus ) actualise et prolonge plus qu'il ne contredit le modèle de l'homologie structurale élaboré par P. Bourdieu. Bien qu'il soit monnaie courante de les opposer (Atkinson ; Bryson ; Veenstra ), ces deux perspectives ne sont pas antithétiques.…”

“…Even within contemporary Western societies, there is considerable variation among musically active people, for example, with regard to choice of instrument, genres and musical styles, and the social context of music making. In general, such variation in cultural engagement correlates substantially with social and cultural background, and differences in economic and cultural capital between social groups have often been suggested to be a fundamental cause of observed differences in cultural practices and preferences within a society (see, e.g., Refs. and ).…”
