“…Reasoned argumentation and civic virtue are socially produced, and thus far from advocating a retreat from society (toward the supposedly more authentic, loosely-organized peripheral associations), one is led toward collective action to build and defend institutional walls in defense of creative and especially scientific autonomy. In what Bourdieu has called his "Realpolitik of Reason," he contrasts his position directly with that of Habermas: "If there exist, pace Habermas, no transhistorical universals of communication, there certainly exist forms of social organization of communication that are liable to foster the production of the universal" (Bourdieu and Wacquant 1992: 188, 190; see also Poupeau 2000). Or, as Nick Crossley (2004: 95) puts it, in a perceptive essay: "Bourdieu subverts the Habermasian distinction between strategic and communicative action by seeking out the structural conditions of fields which make 'communicative rationality' strategically viable."…”

In recent years, there has been an explosion of ambitious sociological research that attempts to map and explain the dynamics of media understood not as technologies or individual organizations but rather as systems interacting with other systems. This approach has multiple roots, but in this essay, I argue that its reach and influence have been amplified by the work of Jürgen Habermas, especially through his concept of the "public sphere." Habermas has been especially helpful in clarifying normative debates about democracy, and he is right to suggest that normative criteria can usefully guide empirical research. Yet his own empirical model, despite some recent improvements, remains underdeveloped and moreover, embodies debatable assumptions about the social origins of democratic and intellectual renewal. Habermas, and many sociologists of social movements influenced by or implicitly allied to his project, make the mistake of taking the "media system" as a given and then orienting their analysis toward effective strategies to exert influence in the face of this supposedly invariant media "logic." A new generation of researchers, influenced by Bourdieu and state-oriented new institutionalism, is fortunately moving to fill in this gap just at the moment when journalists and activists are searching for guidance in rebuilding a media system devastated by commercial pressures and the inadequately remunerated shift to online platforms. This opportunity for sociology to describe and explain variations in media logics and to actively engage in shaping these logics for democratic ends must not be missed.In the remainder of this essay, I thus attempt to address the following questions: First: What has Habermas contributed to the sociology of media and communication? And to what extent and in what ways has his conceptual apparatus-chiefly the

“…Cultural intermediaries use the process of legitimation to lay claim to a universal humanity (Bourdieu, 1979). When wielding cultural capital, the dominant class subjects the dominated class to symbolic violence because the skills and qualifications of the former “obscure the truth about social relations” (Poupeau, 2000: 71). Bourdieu (1979) demonstrated how the educational system reproduces social classes as elites send their children to the premiere schools, which inevitably reproduces the social structure.…”

“…Returning to cultural capital, the educational system legitimizes the institutionalized state in the form of degrees, certificates, and awards. When inequality that is manufactured by the state and cultural agents gets misrecognized as natural, the dominated class accepts the “social order” (Poupeau, 2000: 71), making them complicit in class ideology.…”

Making pastel pop on dark skin: How fashion stylists dress Black NBA players

The National Basketball Association is as popular as ever. A league dominated by Black players is in the midst of a fashion renaissance. The purpose of this paper is to explore how fashion stylists dress Black National Basketball Association players. Using a semi-structured interview protocol, the author interviewed 18 fashion stylists to investigate how they service Black National Basketball Association clients. After reviewing the transcripts and going through three rounds of coding, three themes were identified: The Black Body Is Different, It Should Be This Way, and Dress For Yourself And Dress For Others. Using Bourdieu’s cultural intermediary as a conceptual framework, I demonstrate how fashion stylists link the Black National Basketball Association player with high fashion, making National Basketball Association style more a reflection of middle-class ideology than individual clients.

“…Dünyanın birçok ülkesinde eğitim örgütleri devlet bürokrasisinin bir parçası konumundadır. Bu nedenle, eğitim örgütlerindeki tahakküm yapısı (1) mevcut toplumsal eşitsizliğin ve tahakküm ilişkilerinin okul örgütü aracılığıyla yeniden üretilmesi durumu ve (2) eğitim örgütleri içindeki tahakküm ilişkilerinin yapısı olmak üzere iki boyutta tartışılabilir (Poupeau, 2001;Waller, 1932).…”

Örgütler insanlara bireysel yeteneklerinin ötesinde dünyayı şekillendirme imkânı sunan aracılar olarak tanımlanabilir. Başlangıçta çoğunlukla insani amaçlarla kurulmuş olsalar da örgütleri toplumdaki güç ilişkilerinden soyutlamak mümkün değildir. İktidar sahipleri için yönetilenler üzerinde tahakküm kurmak ve sürdürmek için kullanışlı aygıtlara dönüşebilirler. Tahakküm gibi yan etkilerine rağmen özellikle kamu örgütlerinden kolaylıkla vazgeçmek mümkün değildir. Bu noktada örgütlerin olumlu yönlerinin yanında olumsuz yönlerinin de betimlenmesi, örgütsel yaşamın patolojileri hakkında farkındalık oluşturabilir. Örgüt çalışmalarında metafor kullanımı yüksek düzeyde karmaşıklaşmış örgütleri basit zihinsel modellere dönüştürmenin yanında klasik tanımların görmezden geldiği insani ve çevresel maliyetleri görünür kılabilir. Bu çalışmada tahakküm kavramına ilişkin kuramsal tartışmalara yer verilerek eğitim yönetimine ilişkin doğurguları analiz edilmiştir. Bunun yanında örgüt içi tahakküm ilişkilerinin hafifletilmesine ilişkin öneriler tartışılarak okullara ilişkin çözüm önerileri analiz edilmiştir.
