...Attempting to ‘objectivate’ areas of our unconscious that may obstruct our understanding of the issue we are studying means acknowledging our own position and interests in the field(s) we are engaged with (Bourdieu, 2004: 92)....

...Unlike other major social theorists that have been utilised within the study of sport (see Giulianotti, 2004, 2005) Bourdieu wrote specifically on sport14 and explicitly designated sport as a ‘relatively autonomous’ cultural field (e.g. Bourdieu, 2004)....

...…limited to a complacent looking-back by the researcher on his own experience, but also because it is its own end and leads to no practical effect’ (Bourdieu, 2004: 89).1 Whilst I do not want to labour the point, it seems important to make some early comments in this regard, and to state at the…...

...The cleft habitus of Bourdieu (2004) and Lee and Kramer (2013) is not the first or only concept that describes this in-between space; first-generation students have described themselves as “straddling” the worlds of their working-class families and the middle-class culture of higher education…...

...critiques, Highmore (2016) makes the contentious but perceptive argument that Bourdieu is not actually concerned with the aesthetic dimension of taste at all; he ‘was not actually interested in taste and rarely addressed its particular qualities in his work’ (p. 547). This article contributes to debates by focusing on the field-specific aesthetic criteria that come into play when celebrities cross boundaries into other cultural fields. The concept of field allows us to envisage numerous overlapping fields, each with different stakes, rules and specific criteria of judgement. Analysing field-specific aesthetic criteria enables us to see why some celebrity boundary crossings succeed, while others fail. Celebrity capital enables a high degree of field mobility but does not necessarily convert into artistic success. Judgements about the worth of things are fiercely contested within the various arenas that make up our cultural life and far from being a relativist free-for-all there are clear rules according to which merit is bestowed. Bourdieu (1993, 1996) alludes to these criteria but they are very much in the background of his analysis. As Austin Harrington (2004) observes, ‘Bourdieu’s analytical tendencies ....

...Institutional cultural capital is acquired when institutions bestow recognition on the cultural capital held by a particular individual (Bourdieu, 1986). Prestigious institutions, in doing so, demonstrate ‘the power to show forth and secure belief, or, in a word, to impose recognition’ (Bourdieu, 1986: 51). Before making M&A, Dylan had significant institutional cultural capital and his possession of this form of capital has continued to grow. Within the field in which he is most prominent – popular music – he has received 27 nominations and he has won 12 Grammy Awards. His successes include Album of the Year, with Time out of Mind (1998), Best Contemporary Folk Album, with Love and Theft (2002), and Best Historical Album, with The Bootleg Series Volume 11: The Basement Tapes Complete. He has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Outside the field of popular music and highlighting the wider cultural significance of his work, Dylan has been awarded numerous honours including a Tom Paine Award (1963), an Honorary Doctorate of Music by Princeton University (1970) and St. Andrews University (2004), Commandeur des Artes et des Lettres (1990), Kennedy Center Honors (1997), Pulitzer Prize Special Citations and Awards (2008), National Medal of Arts (2009) and Officier de la Legion d’honneur (2013)....

...(p. 40) According to Bourdieu (1993, 1996, 1998, 2004), society is made up of a number of overlapping fields and subfields, each of which has its own laws, which distinguish it from the wider field of power....
