ABSTRACT
Bourdieusian research in other nations has practised two methods of constructing analytical classes. On the one hand, Hansen et al. in Norway have produced a matrix of classes and class fractions via a careful recoding of the occupational variable available in the country's datasets in line with theoretical logic as much as empirical indicators of capital, shedding useful light on, among other things, educational inequalities. On the other hand, Prieur et al. and Skjott-Larsen in Denmark and Rosenlund in Norway have opted to construct a social space of capital possession via an MCA of various relevant indicators and then map the homology with lifestyles and political stances, using existing occupational classifications as rough proxy measures. In direct opposition to the masculine economic fraction of the dominant class, across the social space, is the fraction richest in cultural capital but more modestly endowed with economic capital.
