Presentation Transcript

  1. Cultural Capital • Prestige, knowledge, education, information, science, religion, and the arts are valorized • Cultural capital seems natural • Ads reinforce the distribution of cultural capital

  2. High Brow • Associated with “old world” Europe, classical art, opera, museums, symphony • Ads tend to be sophisticated, luxurious, complex • Ads don’t mention cost of product – dignified.

  3. Middle Brow • Neither high nor low – contradictory and compound • May reference some “high” cultural codes, but may do so with a sense of irony • Often nods to the cost of product or economic factors

  4. Low Brow • Little, if any, aesthetic or artistic qualities • Practical information, functional, facts – bodily functions, getting dirty, and “base” activities • Usually mentions the cost blatantly
