symbolic power and violence  

Definición

  • The terms symbolic power, symbolic violence, and symbolic capital are found in the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu. Through this conceptual language, Bourdieu tries to answer the following question: how do stratified social systems of hierarchy and domination persist and reproduce inter-generationally without powerful resistance and without the conscious recognition of those involved? The answer, he contends, is that the dominated internalize their conditions of domination as normal, inevitable, or natural, and thereby misrecognize the true nature of their social inequalities by accepting rather than resisting them.
