✨ ✨ ✨Comenius online: Social classification, separation and unification in the stream of cultural capital with Tereza Stöckelová and her guests ✨✨Featuring: Václav Bělohradský, Johana Chylíková (Institute of Sociology of the Czech Academy of Sciences), Tomáš Dvořák (PAQ and Faculty of Social Sciences) and Kateřina Nedbálková (Faculty of Social Studis MU) ✨ Host: Tereza Stöckelová

According to Pierre Bourdieu and his followers, social class is defined not just by economic capital, but also by social and cultural capital. What shapes does cultural capital take today? How is it operationalised and measured sociologically? How is cultural capital converted to economic capital, and vice versa? How is class consciousness formed and distracted in the age of culture wars and social media?

The performance-cum-discussion project Class struggle? looks at the complex social and class relations in today’s society in three subject-specific chapters. Each chapter takes place in a specific architectonic configuration and is accompanied by a topical visual element.

The project was kindly supported by: Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic, Municipality of Prague and Prague 2.
