This review essay of Fields, Capitals, Habitus first discusses how this in-depth inquiry into the lifestyles and cultural practices in Australia contributes to the rich discussions sparked by the publication and translation of Bourdieu's Distinction. It then turns to research directions that this survey opens up, especially in comparative perspective, in the context of neoliberalism and multiculturalism. One of these directions is to study the rise of Indigenous capital. A second is to compare the way that transnational, Indigenous and migrant cultures challenge the national habitus. A third invites researchers to compare more systematically gendered practices across fields and countries, a study that should be supplemented by the impact of the feminisation of cultural intermediaries.

The Tasmanian forestry industry has undergone major transition due to industry readjustments and critique from environmental movements. This article focuses on how Tasmanian forestry workers think and feel about an industry in transition. Through the sociological lens of habitus, it investigates how these workers seek to behave in ways that they see as reflecting moral, ethical, and sustainable behaviour. Thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews is used to explore how forestry workers continue or alter their everyday practices and how their dispositions, formed in the crucible of the forest, shape these social processes. The article demonstrates that as structural changes transform the lives of workers, the people who live and work in the forest are nonetheless trying to understand, articulate, and respond to the changes in ways that they see as reflecting ethical and sustainable behaviour.

This article reviews the terms in which the Australian Cultural Fields project engaged with the concepts of fields, capitals, and habitus. It also places these concepts in the context of their longer histories of use and interpretation in Bourdieusian sociology, and identifies the new inflections acquired in bringing them to bear on the relations between culture and inequality in Australia. It involves a discussion of some of the key dynamics that have characterised the relations across and between the six cultural fields selected for study in the Australian Cultural Fields project – the art, literary, sport, television, heritage, and music fields – since the landmark 1994 Creative Nation cultural policy statement of the Keating Labor government. This analytical elaboration is followed by a summary of the main findings of both the survey and interview components of the project that are reported in Fields, Capitals, Habitus: Australian Culture, Inequalities and Social Divisions.

Migrants rely on social capital when (re)settling in host communities. Connections with organisations are fundamental to developing local ties and accessing services. While scholarship is replete with studies on bonding and bridging ties, little is known about organisations’ ties with migrants. Less is known about how digital technologies facilitate these links. Our article draws on interviews conducted at the onset of the Covid-19 crisis with 23 organisations that support migrants. Our research involved: understanding how digital linking ties were developed; ways that organisations transitioned from in-person to digital engagements during the Covid-19 lockdowns; and how this transition facilitated engagement/reach across migrant communities. Our findings showed that organisations maintained ties with migrants when digital platforms enabled reciprocal engagement. We highlight challenges to creating linking ties largely due to resources constraints. This article contributes nuanced understandings of linking social capital and the impacts of a crisis on the development of social capital.

This article critically engages with the Australian Cultural Fields project and the book Fields, Capitals, Habitus to make suggestions as to what future research on consumption practices needs to consider, including the place of young people; increased material inequality and its implications for cultural production; the development of consumers participating in cultural production; and the importance of considering emotions and affect in Bourdieusian sociology.

In asking whether the survey conducted for the Australian Cultural Fields project might be the last of its kind, this article reflects on the issues raised by the participants in this review symposium as well as those registered in the Fields, Capitals, Habitus book regarding the limitations of cultural capital surveys. It also draws on recent critical assessments of the degree to which the underlying principles of Bourdieu's sociology can engage adequately with the scale and character of the current escalating inequalities of class, age, race and gender. This brief analytical reflection paves the way for suggesting how cultural capital surveys might be adjusted to take account of both the issues canvassed in this symposium, as well as those needing to be addressed to engage with the inequalities that exceed the theoretical compass of the cultural capital tradition. It also acknowledges the need to reset the political compass of the forms of state action that critical cultural capital analysis proposed for reducing, if not eradicating, a range of inequalities. Despite the teasing provocation of our title, we do not finally call for cultural capital surveys to be decommissioned, but issue a challenge for them to be retooled to engage productively with new problematics and circumstances.

Bourdieu's concept of habitus clivé is discussed in relation to Aboriginal Australians’ experience within dominant White society. The argument is put forward that the concept can make an important contribution to illuminating Indigenous experience. At the same time there is an ever-present danger that habitus clivé becomes another tool for theorising about Aboriginal people, even if sympathetically, rather than a vehicle for Aboriginal expression of history, pain, suffering and contemporary aspirations. Growing recognition of the value of Aboriginal culture, art and ways of knowing is desirable and a positive part of present shifts in Australian cultural identities. Changing cultural tastes and an aesthetic sense beyond co-option of place involves telling and re-telling many difficult stories with Aboriginal experiences at the centre and learning to embrace what we hear.

This review critically examines the Fields, Capitals, Habitus (FCH) study and discusses its potential application to a forthcoming study in Japan. It investigates FCH from four perspectives. First, it compares the approach of FCH to the relationship between culture and inequality in Australia with Bourdieu's approach in Distinction and that taken in the United Kingdom by Culture, Class, Distinction. In doing so, it aims to define the theoretical scope of FCH as a sociological and Australian study. Second, it focuses on the definition of legitimate culture, that is, how does it differ from other types of culture? Third, it considers how FCH engages with the field of power. This concept, which is unique to Bourdieu, extends beyond politics and economics. How does it construct a field of power? Finally, the study of culture and inequality in Japan, which has just begun, is briefly introduced as research that builds on the FCH study.

Homelessness is a worsening problem across the developed world and existing policy responses are failing to have an impact. This article considers whether a basic income (BI) can play a role in radically overhauling prevailing homelessness policy and interventions. Drawing on Richard Titmuss’ classical arguments about the value of universalist welfare, I argue that a BI can play a role, but only as part of a suite of universalist measures that includes large-scale social housing investment and rent controls. I highlight how a BI can help address the ‘income side’ of the housing affordability problem driving homelessness, but must be coupled with other measures that address housing cost and supply. I also consider how a BI can reduce stigma arising from targeted homelessness measures. I conclude by arguing that addressing homelessness requires us to transform the logic of welfare provision and that a BI can help do this.

This article explores why women miss out in the transition from the educational system to the labour market. Using nationally representative longitudinal data (2001–18) from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey, we compare how long after graduation it takes men and women with tertiary qualifications (n = 2030) to achieve key labour market milestones: (1) getting a full-time job; (2) getting a permanent contract; (3) earning an average wage; (4) finding a job that matches their skill level. We find significant gender differences in reaching these milestones, confirming that time is a critical dimension for understanding gendered inequalities in the returns to education. We attribute findings to incompatible ‘timescapes’ across the institutions of education, family and employment. The more flexible timescape of education allows women to succeed, but the inflexible timescape of employment (particularly when combined with family responsibilities) impedes them from turning educational achievement into labour market progress.
