ABSTRACT
Th is chapter draws on debates from France, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom that work on issues of class, feminism and gender, sexuality, and race. It assumes a knowledge of Bourdieu’s use of capitals-economic, social, symbolic, and cultural-as they accrue in bodies over periods of time in volumes and compositions in diff erent social spaces (see Bourdieu, 1987, 1989; Skeggs, 1997). It is a condensed version of the arguments presented in Class, Self, Culture (Skeggs, 2004).
