“…Instead we focus on two dimensions of social class which primarily serve as proxies for social position: income (economic capital) and employment sector. The latter is a well-established method by which class fractions are identified (Jenkins, 2002). In fact, the combination of income and occupation is also the key method for Bourdieu (1984) to identify the positions in social space.…”

Neighbourhoods can be seen as units that have a function in certain phases of the lives of people. The ideal seems to be that they more or less 'match' the household type. Because of frequent changes in the household and also because of changes or inertia in several neighbourhoods mismatches may develop and therefore, when able, households will frequently try to 'rematch' their relationship with the neighbourhood. If we assume that the housing market is functioning reasonably well, a cross-sectional view on where household types have settled down will reveal relevant information about the relationship between household types and neighbourhoods. In this contribution we investigate that relationship in great detail. We apply a large dataset with individual level register data for the whole population of the metropolitan region of Amsterdam from which we can construct class fractions, which form the basis for explaining different neighbourhood orientations. The class fractions are constructed with information of the precise economic sector people are working in combined with -individual level -information on disposable income. We focus on low, middle and high income individuals, who are employed within fifteen contrasting employment sectors and for which we can analyse their neighbourhood orientation. For that purpose we constructed a large number of different neighbourhood types in the urban region of Amsterdam. The types were based on whether: 1) the location is in the urban core or not; 2) the population density of the neighbourhood and the size of the municipality; 3) housing real estate values in the neighbourhood; 4) and whether the neighbourhood consists of housing which is predominantly pre-war or not. While the relationship between class fractions and neighbourhood types is central to our investigations, we controlled for other obvious factors that impact upon residential orientations, such as age, family type, gender, and country of origin. We show that creative cultural class fractions are strongly overrepresented in the most urban milieus, more precisely Amsterdam milieus with middle status or high status. The most overrepresented class fractions in the metropolitan area, which are in urban high status neighbourhoods in the city of Amsterdam, are self-employed (independent) and high-income lawyers, followed by high-income professionals in the arts and book publishing sectors, as well as highest income class fractions employed at the university. Self-employed architects are most overrepresented in suburban high status neighbourhoods in Amsterdam.

Specifically, we point to the importance of understanding branding from the perspective of social, cultural and symbolic capital (Bourdieu, 1984;Swartz, 1997;Jenkins, 2002;Webb et al, 2012) as well as making economic assessments within the market. Through an examination of this interplay, foregrounding and backgrounding of symbolic and economic capital in the art world, we argue that 'mainstream' businesses can learn from the visual arts, about the increasing importance of foregrounding symbolic capital over the quest for economic returns in order to appeal to contemporary consumers as well as ensure a sustainable, credible and branded reputation in the long run.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the field of visual arts marketing in the development of wider branding theory and practice. Drawing on examples from visual artists and the art mechanism that connects them, the paper reveals how artists and art professionals foster various types of capital (social, cultural, symbolic) as a way of developing a brand name, ensuring longevity in the field, and gaining financial value on the market. Design/methodology/approach – As a conceptual paper, the authors draw on a range of published works as well as examples from the world of visual arts in order to provide fresh theoretical insight into how branding in the arts may be applied to other industries. Findings – The key findings are the importance of the consideration of the development and nurturing of social and cultural capital in developing brand identity. Additionally, visual art brands are required to be innovative and dynamic, and lessons learned regarding these processes have relevance for mainstream brands. The paper also found that creativity is often collective and that looking to methods for developing work in the visual arts can be utilised by brand managers more broadly in the age of social media and user generated content. Originality/value – This paper follows on the developing body of work, which indicates what mainstream business can learn from looking at the visual arts. The paper highlights the collective nature of creativity in building the art brand as well as the importance of non-economic measures of value in the realm of branding.

“…Such a process always occurs in situ, cannot be readily predicted, and may not unfold in ways hoped for or anticipated by those engaging in it. At the same time, it is important to acknowledge that Bourdieu's notion of habitus has been critiqued as being overly deterministic, and not sufficiently agentic in orientation (Jenkins, 2002). Some theorists are even more critical, arguing Bourdieu's efforts to overcome the structure/agency divide are inherently incoherent (LiPuma, 1993).…”

This paper draws upon Bourdieu's (1984) concepts of habitus, capital and field to better understand and appreciate the conditions which encouraged the productive professional development practices of one very capable teacher working in a secondary school in the British Midlands. Rather than celebrating this teacher's practices and perspective as evidence of the capacity of the heroic individual to overcome sometimes adverse circumstances, the paper reveals how the experiences of this teacher can be understood as an instance of the socially situated self, engaged by and engaging in an alternative politics to that associated with more managerial conceptions of teacher learning. The research calls for a cautious approach to those renderings of educational practice which construe the creative potential of the habitus, without sufficient regard for the actual conditions which contribute towards this creativity. In this way, the paper is presented not as an example of how one teacher overcame significant barriers to substantive learning practices -as a morality tale for other, individual educators to emulate -but as a provocation to suggest how some teachers' access to professional/community resources help them sustain a clear focus on substantive learning.
