Syftet med denna studie har varit att ge fördjupad kunskap om Rosendalsgymnasiets position bland Uppsalas gymnasier, vilket konkretiserats genom förhållningssätt till gymnasiet som en aktör i fältet, men också som en aktör i elevernas utbildning. Relevansen i att undersöka Rosendalsgymnasiet ligger i deras höga position i fältet, som grundar sig i att vara en av de skolor som i hög grad rekryterar högpresterande elever från kapitalstarka sociala bakgrunder. För att förstå gymnasiefältet i Uppsala behövs först förståelse för de dominerande parterna, där Rosendalsgymnasiet sticker ut som en aktör. Till denna studie har Bourdieus teoretiska ramverk använts för att analysera materialet, då främst utifrån skolans, och elevernas, kapital och strategier. Materialet till studien består av 13 semistrukturerade, kvalitativa intervjuer med skolledning, lärare och elever. Till våra resultat hör identifierandet av värdetillskrivna aspekter av verksamheten och skolans resurser, så som meriterade lärare och skolans pedagogiska arbete, vilka utgör kapitalgivande tillgångar. Vi finner också att skolan positionerar sig i fältet genom teoretiskt tunga program, genom ett naturvetenskapligt fokus och ett samarbete med Uppsala universitet, samt att eleverna främst förhåller sig till skolan som en stabil grund för högre studier och en tillåtande plats för studiemotivation. Vår slutsats av undersökningen är att den pedagogiska verksamheten endast är en fraktion i förståelsen för deras position, och att förklaringen främst återfinns i den studiekultur som vuxit fram och etablerats. Denna studiekultur leder till ett rykte som attraherar högpresterande elever, och som genom en cirkulär process underbygger skolans elevrekrytering, antagning och position.

My thesis explores the yarn, the British masculine adventure story for boys of all ages, from 1855 until 1940. Using Raymond Williams’ concept, “structure of feeling”, the “boy’s own” ethos is examined within its material culture, strongly influenced by the public schools. The thesis follows the yarn’s mutations in popular literature from school story to maritime adventure, colonial encounter, domestic landscape fantasy, invasion scare novel and war memoir. The study argues that, when the pedagogic system privileged the study of Classics as the professional gateway to success, the yarn constructed a valorised code of masculinity as an intellectual and moral puzzle requiring decryption. Using Rudyard Kipling’s stories about adolescent males as the chronological spine, it follows the competitive discourse of different masculine codes, Christian, imperialist and sporting, which the implied reader is encouraged to “break”. Extending Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of code as cultural competence to include crypto-analysis, the thesis examines how superficially extroverted tales remain fixated upon bookish practices of reading and interpretation, through scriptural exegesis, classical translation, and scrutiny of treasure maps, genealogies, landscapes and ciphers. Chapter One considers the school story, and specifically its competitive examination as an overarching metaphor for masculinity; Chapter Two the maritime adventure as a hermeneutic quest where the adolescent struggles to read male behaviour; and Chapter Three the colonial encounter as an identity crisis when cultural hybridity challenges the construct of the White Man. Chapter Four explores the domestic landscape fantasy when imperialist anxiety becomes enmeshed within nostalgia for boyhood; Chapter Five the paranoia about invasion running parallel to imperial hubris; and Chapter Six thematic developments in two short stories by Kipling. Chapter Seven provides an aerial view (including the post-War cult of the airman), before the Conclusion summarizes the shifts in constructions of masculinity across my periodization.

The main aim of this thesis is to examine translation practices in Saudi Arabia as “socially situated” activities in the second half of the 20th century. Drawing on Bourdieu’s sociological model, the study situates the translation activities of academic, private, and literary institutions in their socio-political context of cultural production. Conceptual tools of analysis derived from Bourdieu, such as field, habitus, capital, doxa, and homology, are used to analyse book translation as a set of emerging sub-fields in Saudi Arabia.The study identifies academic institutions and private publishers as the principal agents contributing to the definition of the field of translation. It analyses the positions they occupy in the field(s) of cultural production and types of capital that have value in the context of their struggles. An expanding range of translation practices by faculty members in academic institutions, especially those undertaken in King Saud University, points to an emerging network of translation-specific positions, which can be referred to as the sub-field of academic translation. The dictates of this sub-field are influenced by strong homologous relations with the encompassing academic field. The capital sought by agents is primarily cultural and symbolic, and is readily convertible to economic capital.The thesis also identifies three private publishers who occupy positions in the second emerging sub-field of translation within the publishing field. These agents display different interests in a variety of stakes and types of capital. Jarir’s focus on translating self-help books demonstrates a heavy influence of the heteronomous dictates of the local and global markets, i.e. the economic field, situating it within the heteronomous pole of large scale circulation. Translation practices undertaken by Dar al-Mareekh and Obeikan position them nearer to the autonomous pole of small-scale circulation, where agents target smaller groups of readership and prioritise cultural and symbolic forms of capital. A heteronomous influence exercised by the political field is also detected in Obeikan’s focus on political works critical of US foreign policy, which situates these products within the heteronomous pole of politics.A translation by Obeikan of Niall Ferguson’s 2004 Colossus is examined in detail as a case study to further illuminate translation strategies as sociological phenomena situated within the field of power. Paratextual engagements reflect discourses of anti-Americanism that have circulated in the Saudi social space since US presence in the Kingdom intensified in 1990. The concepts of orthodoxy and heterodoxy are used to analyse a series of textual interventions at the micro level. Typographic signalling of censored sections that undermine the political authorities is found to reflect the agent’s positioning in relation to the heterodoxic, pro-American stance in the political field. The publisher’s position in this respect aligns with and reflects the orthodoxic stance of the pan-Islamist, religious-cum-nationalist field, whose agents have protested the continued military cooperation between the Kingdom and the US.

A partir da profissionalização do futebol no final do século XIX, a modalidade entra em crescimento exponencial, agregando um número de fãs e praticantes cada vez maior. Juntamente com isso, o esporte bretão é tomado por um processo de mercantilização fortíssimo, que modificou a categoria para sempre. Tal processo é destacado ao longo do trabalho, na figura da camisa de futebol, que foi criada com o simples intuito de diferenciação de equipes, mas que hoje é vista como base para campanhas publicitárias, divulgação de marcas e marketing de clubes, de forma a desfigurar a camisa com o intuito de vender um produto. Esse cenário instaurado é analisado no trabalho a partir dos conceitos do sociólogo francês Pierre Bourdieu, que percebe o futebol como um campo específico, regido por indivíduos que possuem um habitus adequado a esse campo, e que lidam com as diferentes formas de capital instauradas nesse meio, como o capital simbólico, atribuído a camisa. A mancha no manto proposta como foco deste trabalho é apresentada através da introdução e evolução do patrocínio no futebol, e as mudanças que isso gerou nas esferas que cercam a modalidade, fazendo da camisa um outdoor de marcas, atletas representantes de uma indústria comercial e tornando o torcedor em um consumidor em potencial em meio a essa nova ordem que tem envolvido o esporte em inúmeras investigações e escândalos de corrupção / From the professionalization of soccer in the late nineteenth century, the mode goes into exponential growth, adding a growing number of fans and practitioners. Along with this, the \"Breton\" sport is taken by a process of mercantile fortification that changed the category forever. This process is highlighted throughout the work, in the figure of the football shirt, which was created with the simple intention of differentiating teams, but today is the basis for advertising campaigns, brand promotion and marketing of clubs, disfiguring the shirt in order to sell a product. This scenario is analyzed in the work based on the concepts of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, who perceives soccer as a specific field, ruled by individuals who have a habitus suited to this field, and who deal with the different forms of capital established in that environment, as symbolic capital, ascribed to the shirt. The stain on the mantle proposed as the focus of this work is presented through the introduction and evolution of sponsorship in football, and the changes that this generated in the spheres surrounding the modality, making the shirt an outdoor brand, athletes representing a commercial industry and making the supporter of a potential consumer in the midst of this new order that has involved the sport in numerous investigations and corruption scandals

Nathalia Edenmont is a controversial and uncompromising photo artist who has caused the whole world to rage over her obscene photographs. In this thesis I have researched Edenmonts artistry with help of the sociologist Pierre Bourdieus field analysis. By using Bourdieus's different field concepts I have researched Edenmonts artistic career by concepts such as habitus, consecration and different principles. The starting point of this research has been that Nathalia Edenmont is in the autonomous artistic field. I give examples of images that have been highly debated and I have collected information of how Edenmont sees her own images and her artistry. In this thesis I show amongst other things an example with Edenmonts photograph of dead rabbits with Elizabethan hair styling, cut up mice that work like finger puppets and children who are bound up in wire. Nathalia Edenmont autonomous artistry is deeply rooted in her background and the environment in which she was raised. Her habitus is strongly affected by earlier experiences of growing up in a corrupt land and having to cope on her own from the age of 14 years old after the death of her parents.

Qu'en est-il des intellectuels en ce début de XXIe siècle? Qui sont-ils? Et quel devrait être la portée et le sens de leur engagement dans l'espace public? Telles sont les questions qui animent notre questionnement philosophique actuel. Au carrefour de ces interrogations philosophiques, un questionnement encore plus profond émerge: la réalité même de la notion d'intellectuels. Dans les années quatre-vingt-dix, le sociologue Pierre Bourdieu sera, en France, la figure tutélaire de l'intellectuel engagé. Au-delà de son indéniable charisme médiatique, ce penseur appuie l'autorité sociale de son discours sur la reconnaissance internationale d'une oeuvre scientifique considérable. Une oeuvre qui, en définitive, s'intéresse aux rapports existants entre l'individu et l'action ( praxis ). De surcroit, l'un des axes importants que développent les travaux de Pierre Bourdieu est une sociologie critique des intellectuels. C'est pourquoi, dans la perspective de notre propre questionnement sur la notion d'intellectuels, nous avons choisi pour interlocuteur principal: le sociologue français. Avec l'intuition initiale, pour la rédaction du présent mémoire, que le cadre conceptuel bourdieusien constitue un outil théorique particulièrement pertinent pour développer et articuler une meilleure compréhension de la notion d'intellectuels. D'ailleurs, c'est cette hypothèse première de la fécondité des travaux de Pierre Bourdieu que cherche à valider l'ensemble de nos développements théoriques en se demandant si : «le cadre conceptuel bourdieusien permet, véritablement, une clarification significative de la notion d'intellectuels?» Notre réponse, à cette évaluation du cadre conceptuel bourdieusien, s'élaborera grâce à la lecture critique d'un corpus ciblé de l'oeuvre bourdieusienne. Notre analyse portant, pour l'essentiel, sur les concepts d'«habitus» (chap. I), de «champ» (chap. II) et de «violence symbolique» (chap. III). Ces trois concepts forment les trois chapitres de notre mémoire. Tout d'abord, parce que l'étude de l'habitus, en tant qu'«extériorité intériorisée» d'un individu donné, est propice au décryptage des trajectoires sociales, à la fois publiques et privées, des intellectuels. Le champ pour sa part, compris comme la cristallisation d'un microcosme social autonome à l'intérieur du grand univers social, est susceptible de nous révéler les «tenants et les aboutissants» des interactions sociales qui animent le monde social des intellectuels. Enfin, avec l'idée de violence symbolique, nous verrons comment l'actualisation de cette force «douce et invisible», qui s'exerce avec l'assentiment même de ses victimes, est en réalité l'expression d'un «pouvoir symbolique» qui en tant que pouvoir idéologique est pouvoir d'une essence proprement intellectuelle. Enfin, comme le cadre conceptuel bourdieusien, malgré son indéniable apport à notre travail de recherche, renferme également d'importantes limites conceptuelles. La conclusion générale du présent mémoire, nous apprendra combien il est nécessaire de nuancer la fécondité, initialement supposée, de ce cadre conceptuel pour penser la notion d'intellectuels.
