The Roots of Domination: Beyond Bourdieu and Gramsci
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article I examine Bourdieu’s conception of symbolic domination as based on misrecognition and compare it with Gramsci’s notion of hegemony based on consent. Drawing on ethnographic research in workplaces in the USA and Hungary I show how both theories are flawed. Gramsci does not appreciate the importance of mystification as a foundation for stable hegemony in advanced capitalism while Bourdieu’s notion of misrecognition, based on the notion of habitus, is too deep to comprehend the fragility of state socialist regimes. Comparative analysis, I argue, calls for a concept of domination that is more contingent than Bourdieu’s symbolic domination, yet deeper than Gramsci’s hegemony.

On the domination polynomials of non P4-free graphs
A graph $G$ is called $P_4$-free, if $G$ does not contain an induced subgraph $P_4$. The domination polynomial of a graph $G$ of order $n$ is the polynomial $D(G,x)=sum_{i=1}^{n} d(G,i) x^{i}$, where $d(G,i)$ is the number of dominating sets of $G$ of size $i$. Every root of $D(G,x)$ is called a domination root of $G$. In this paper we state and prove formula for the domination polynomial of no...

متن کاملOn Estimating the Maximum Domination Value and the Skyline Cardinality of Multi-Dimensional Data Sets
The last years there is an increasing interest for query processing techniques that take into consideration the dominance relationship between items to select the most promising ones, based on user preferences. Skyline and top-k dominating queries are examples of such techniques. A skyline query computes the items that are not dominated, whereas a top-k dominating query returns the k items with...
متن کامل000-000 ORG_341115.indd
Laying out the logic of Bourdieu’s approach to institutional fi elds, this essay argues that Bourdieu’s theorization of the logic of practice is a generic contest for domination in a plurality of homologously organized fi elds. Bourdieu aligns all practices through the logic of domination, which allows him to homologize group relations in every fi eld. This homologization depends on a homogeniz...
