ABSTRACT

The economic determinists are but one strand within structuralism. Bourdieu & Passeron (1977) and Apple (1979, 1982) exemplify a different explanatory tradition within neo-Marxism, namely one which emphasises the role of culture in structural determinations. Bernstein (1973, 1977) also attempted to explore the role of culture, especially through integrating macrocosmic and microcosmic models of explanation.
