Cultural Capital and the Choir: A study of social stratification and the accumulation of cultural capital within choir schools and the Anglican choral

在我的博士研究中，我将对两所唱诗班学校进行民族志研究：剑桥的国王学院和牛津的基督教堂大教堂。在我的研究的第一部分，我将应用布迪厄的文化资本理论作为社会进步的机制，以及他的惯习理论。我还将把布迪厄在1977年关于教育中的象征权力和关系以及学校教育中社会阶级的再生产的研究中概述的思想应用于学校的唱诗班。对于我的研究的第二部分，我将研究这些社会问题的潜在影响合唱团学校的“高”英国圣公会的英国国教。我将着眼于学校和大学之间的关系，并探讨如何复制学校内的社会分层可能会通过过滤到圣公会机构，他们所重视的。在研究过程中，本人将对相关成员及学校合唱团成员进行访谈，并观察排练及课堂教学。在研究的第二部分，我将尝试使用定量调查方法与那些参加服务，探讨人们是否有精神或社会文化动机，在他们的出席。

For my PhD research, I will produce an ethnographic study of two choir schools: King's College School, Cambridge and Christ Church Cathedral School, Oxford. For the first part of my study, I will apply Bourdieu's theories of cultural capital as a mechanism for social advancement alongside his theory of habitus. I will also apply Bourdieu's ideas outlined in his 1977 study of symbolic power and relationships within education and the reproduction of social class in schooling, to the choristers in the school. For the second part of my study, I will examine the potential implications of these social issues within choir schools for the 'high' Anglican strand of the Church of England. I will look at the relationship between school and college and explore how the reproduction of social stratification within the school may filter through to the Anglican institution they are attached to. For this research, I will carry out interviews with relevant members and choristers of the schools and the colleges, alongside observation of rehearsals and classroom teaching. For the second part of the research, I will attempt to use a quantitative survey method with those who attend the services to explore whether people have spiritual or socio-cultural motives in their attendance.
