In Bourdieu\u2019s analysis of ideology one can distinguish three related and intertwined aspects. The fi rst is linked to Marx and structuralism, where ideology is conceived at the structural level with regard to its function and mode of operation as well as its relation to other structural levels. The second aspect is \u201cdurkhemian\u201d and ideology is considered as a system of classifi cations (hierarchies) and their legitimation. Habitus as the socialised subjectivity is central here. The third aspect is \u201cweberian\u201d where ideology is viewed as a fi eld with special regard to its producers \u2013 specialists. As any other fi eld, ideological fi eld is relatively autonomous so its products cannot be directly linked to the interests of the dominant class, as vulgar Marxism does. Bourdieu does not emphasise enough the distinction between ideology in durkhemian sense, as systems of classifi cation and aspect of \u201clived experience\u201d, and ideology as the product of specialists\u2019 work within the intellectual (i.e. ideological) fi eld ruled by its own laws. Although processes in the ideological fi eld do refl ect and reproduce power relations in the fi eld of social classes, the connection between the two is not presented clearly enough.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fundamental concepts of Bourdieu\u2019s sociology \u2013 capital, habitus, fi eld and symbolic power \u2013 are reviewed with regard to the issue of ideology.
