Hierarchy of cultures and educational research
1. Theoretical assumptions: The Production of Scientific
Knowledge
3
Karl Mannheim (1928): Jedes Denken ist „eingebettet und getragen von Macht und Geltungstrieb bestimmter Gruppen, die ihre Weltanschauung zur öffentlichen Weltauslegung machen wollen“. Pierre Bourdieu/Loïc Waquant (Reflexive Anthropology):
structural relation between researcher and object of research internal struggles in the scientific field
Structural Imbalance between Researcher and Object of Research

cultural symbolic capital -

cultural symbolic capital +immigrants
who suffer inequality
researcher(institutionally secured)
symbolic capital = cultural, economic or social capital with general recognition (e.g. Euro, university qualification, the elaborate use of the “Standard” language)
5
Structural Imbalance between Researcher and Object of Research
.... is embedded in a objective imbalanced relation between the researcher and the research object
.... is taking part in constructing a hierarchy of cultures – ascribing the characteristics “symbolic” or “non-symbolic” capital .
assumptions: The production of scientific knowledge ...
6
.... not a homogeneous process but conflicts of power exist internal to the field: Who is authorised to speak the truth about the social world?assumption: .... the power relations and power conflicts within the field lead to different approaches of ascribing the characteristics “symbolic” and “non-symbolic”.
Internal struggles in the scientific field
Main Questions of the Empirical Study based on Bourdieu/Wacquant :
7
How does the research on immigration and inequality deal with the relation
between “symbolic” and “non-symbolic” cultural capital ?
(reproduction of the hierarchy of cultures)
types of discourse dimensions of the
construction
2. Empirical Studie: Immigration and Inequality – Field-Specific
ConstructionsData: 4 A+/A ranked journals in Germany (Vienna University of Economics and Business) Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie (KZfSS)/ Zeitschrift für Soziologie (ZfS)/Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissenschaft (ZfE)/Zeitschrift für Pädagogik (ZfP)
Time span: 2000 – 2007 Search frame: headlines: “migration or immigrants”; “ethicisation or ethnic; migration and inequality”;”immigrants and inequality”; “ethicisation and inequality; ethnic and inequality” Ntotal = 19; Sociology. = 11, Educational Science = 8 Level of analysis of the texts: a) Issue addressed, b) Theoretical assumptions, c) Method/Results d) Conclusion

Type of discourseDimensions
system-centric relativistic patchwork
Tendency towards Zero-sum conflict (One side’s gain is the other side’s loss, and conversely)
Win-win situation(Cap one side’s gain is also a gain for the other side)
Knowledge of recognition asymmetry
Demarcation between ‘holders of capital’
‘Holders of capital’ can claim reciprocal rights of control.
Acceptance and accommodation with the recognized asymmetry

Distribution of types of discourse
tendency to reproduce the relations of domination and subordination between different forms of cultural capital.

3. Conclusion: Hierarchies of cultures and educational
research
* reproduction of the hierarchy of cultures* Problematic! legitimation of the existing power relations integration as assimilation correspondence to one–sided policy strategies counter-tendency: value of capital is open to
more than one interpretation
