My impression of Bourdieu’s Distinction is that his radical social theory of class differentiation does not leave any room for subjective position, focusing on the deepest objectification of the “nature of the game.” Thus for him, cultural capital, which was assumed to be derived from the most subjective (but disinterested) taste, that is, from the ‘aesthetic judgment’ in Kantian sense, is not just a result of pure independent faculty of human being, but the very effect of the accumulation of academic and family capital.
