TL;DR: Bourdieu held that the state in modernity has become the primary agent of consecration, "the legitimation and naturalization of social difference", a function formerly performed largely by religion as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Bourdieu held that the state in modernity has become the primary agent of consecration, ‘the legitimation and naturalization of social difference’, a function formerly performed largely by religion. After clarifying the role of ‘religion’ in Bourdieu's work, this paper brings two empirical issues into dialogue with his ideas: social fragmentation in late-modernity, and the relation between temporalization and social structures in medieval and early-modern charity. His view that religion is anachronistic, that it was left behind by modernization misses its continuing, even increasing, importance. He overemphasized the centrality and authority of the state in modernity and distinguished too sharply between pre-modern gifting and modern market relations. Once these limitations are mitigated, Bourdieu's analysis can be redirected to account for the importance of religion as an agent of consecration globally today.

TL;DR: In this paper, the process of means-end frames is proposed as a key to understanding the reproduction and evolution of organizational fields, and it is argued that the social construction of means end frames is central to preserving a shared understanding of an organizational field's goals and the organizing principles by which these can be realized.
Abstract: The processing of means-end frames is proposed as a key to understanding the reproduction and evolution of organizational fields. In lieu of regarding ‘rationalized myths’ as established social constructs that are diffused within a field, the present analysis looks into how the field constituents construct a rationalized myth, the operations through which they strive to accomplish this, and the unresolved divergences and problems tied to establishing shared understandings of central causal chains. It is argued that the social construction of means-end frames is central to preserving a shared understanding of an organizational field’s goals and the organizing principles by which these can be realized. In participating in the construction and interpretation of means-end frames the central actors reproduce and evolve the organizational field. The processing of means-end frames may contribute to both field reproduction and destabilization. Based on an analysis of the Danish hospital field, it is demonstrated ...
