Description: Gender, Neoliberalism and Distinction Through Linguistic Capital : Taiwanese Narratives of Struggle and Strategy, Hardcover by Seilhamer, Mark Fifer, ISBN 1788923014, ISBN-13 9781788923019, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Drawing on Bourdieu's notion of distinction, Seilhamer chronicles the strategy and struggle of Taiwanese young women utilizing cultural good for their differentiating power. But instead of classed preferences such as tastes in food or leisure activities, he says, the particular cultural goods these young women employ are linguistic resources--cultural goods that have proven readily convertible to symbolic capital. He points out that very poor women afford language lessons and very rich women learn elite language as children, so the women he discusses are in the middle.
