Cultural Capital: The Problem of Literary Canon Formation - Emersion: Emergent Village resources for communities of faith
John Guillory
Employing concepts drawn from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology, Guillory argues that canon formation must be understood less as a question of the representation of social groups than as a question of the distribution of "cultural capital" in the schools, which regulate access to literacy, to the practices of reading and writing.
