“…Sociologists inspired by Michèle Lamont’s ‘national repertoires of evaluation’ (Laurent and Thévenot, 2000) often argue that Bourdieu’s theories are too tied to France to help us understand cultural judgements in other national contexts, like the US (Lamont, 1992). Several Nordic sociologists suggest that egalitarianism makes people averse to cultural hierarchies (Sakslind and Skarpenes, 2014; Skarpenes, 2007). Regarding temporal variation, scholars suggest that transformed values and less acceptance of hierarchical thinking attenuate taste judgements (Kuipers, 2013; Peterson and Kern, 1996).…”

This article examines morality in taste judgements. In response to Bourdieu’s analysis of France in the 1960s, sociologists note that repertoires of moral evaluation vary across contexts. They typically highlight national variations, like Nordic egalitarianism weakens cultural boundaries, and temporal variations, with transformed values having made cultural hierarchies less defensible. The article investigates a neglected type of moral variation: contrasting cultural areas. In a study of class and culture in Stavanger, Norway, the authors combined oral interviews on taste with photo elicitation in the visual arts, literature and housing/architecture. While interviewees were often careful not to appear disdainful of other people’s tastes, and expressed ambivalence about cultural boundaries, their thoughts on housing/architecture diverged. Here, people did not hesitate to criticise other people’s taste, even to the point of ridiculing their houses. The authors discuss the implications for Lamont’s symbolic boundary perspective, which is predicated on a separation of three types of symbolic boundaries (cultural, socioeconomic, moral). Morality can both weaken and reinforce cultural boundaries, depending on the areas under investigation. In conclusion, the authors suggest ways cultural sociology may conceive of different moral modalities.

The Ponytail

The “nature of sport” is to sculpt bodies through rhythmic movements and bring these bodies into the public sphere through a dramatic staging of mastery, strength, and agility. When sporting bodies enter the public realm on TV screens, in prose, and as work colleagues, they do so sculpted through the materialization of meaningful movements. Women’s sports often provide especially good examples of this process. The preceding chapters describe how culture moves through the many examples of ponytailed customs and fashions, oscillating amid young and adult heteronormative womanhood, and in democratic tales and hopes motivated by social (in)justice. This chapter shows how the female athlete materializes motions, both physical and cultural, in the form of a cultural kinetics captured in their ponytails, moving with them and imbued with this movement.

“…For Bourdieu var kunstfeltet organisert etter en bestemt anerkjennelseslogikk med forestillinger om nettopp det høye og det lave (se f.eks. Inglis & Hughson, 2005;Lamont, 1992;Skarpenes, 2007).…”

I 1999 intervjuet vi 23 studenter som gjennomførte en høyere kunstutdanning i Norge. Studentene fortalte hvorfor de hadde startet på en kunstnerkarriere, og hvilke tanker og drømmer de hadde om framtiden. 20 år seinere kontaktet vi de samme personene på nytt. De fleste var nå i midten av 40-åra og hadde ganske ulike historier å fortelle. Denne boka tar utgangspunkt i de tidligere kunststudentenes fortellinger om barndom, oppvekst og ungdomstid, utdanningsløp, yrkesetablering og videre yrkesliv. Hvilke valg har de tatt i ulike faser av livet og karrieren, og hvor har disse valgene ført dem? Hva har de lykkes med, og hvilke hindringer og utfordringer har de støtt på underveis? I boka analyserer vi fortellingene til de tidligere kunststudentene i lys av forhold som er særskilte for kunstneryrkene og de markedene de jobber innenfor, men også i lys av en større samfunnskontekst. Boka egner seg for forskere, studenter og andre som interesserer seg for kunstnerisk arbeid. Vi håper også at den kan være til nytte for kunststudenter og framtidige kunstnere som ønsker å vite mer om kunstnerarbeidslivet.
