Pentru toti indignatii elitisti ai acestei drepte elitiste si pline de principii. Poate pune si ei mina pe o carte si citeste ceva intelectual, ceva complicat si deranjant pentru ifosele lor, sa inteleaga de unde le vine greatza si dezgustul, aceste rezervoare volitive atit de necesare in timp de alegeri. Se aude, obiectivilor? Se aude, Lucian Mindruta? Se aude, Sabina Fati? Uite aici, pufosilor. Pierre Bourdieu, La distinction The aesthetic choices of a person create class fractions (class-based social groups) and actively distance one social class from the other social classes of a society. Hence, predispositions to certain kinds of food, music, and art are taught and instilled to children, which specific tastes then guide the children to their appropriate social positions. Therefore, self-selection to a class fraction is achieved by impelling the child’s internalization of preferences for objects and behaviors suitable for him or her (as member of a given social class), and the development of an aversion towards the preferred objects and behaviors of the other social classes. In practice, when a man or a woman encounters the culture and the arts of another social class, he or she feels “disgust, provoked by horror, or visceral intolerance (‘feeling sick’) of the tastes of others.”[5] Therefore, “Taste” is an important example of cultural hegemony, of how class fractions are determined, not only by the possession of social capital and of economic capital, but by the possession of cultural capital, which is an insidious social mechanism that ensures the social reproduction and the cultural reproduction of the ruling class. Moreover, because a person is taught his or her tastes at an early age, and thus are deeply internalized, such social conditionings are very difficult to change, and thus tend to permanently identify a person as having originated in a certain social class, which then impedes upward social mobility. In that way, the cultural tastes of the dominant (ruling) class tend to dominate the tastes of the other social classes, thus forcing individual men and women of economically and culturally dominated classes to conform to certain aesthetic preferences, lest they risk societal disapproval by appearing to be crude, vulgar, and tasteless persons. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Distinction
