Abstract

Current paper discusses ‘aesthetic taste'’ which is not merely the result of the subject’s autonomous predispositions nor the macro-determinations of social structures. ‘Taste’ is the result of a set of symbolic relationships which involve sale and consumption and production and appropriation. The main concepts of Pierre Bourdieu’s notions, such as habitus, cultural capital, cultural industry, derived from the Frankfurt School (Adorno and Horkheimer) are employed to conceive the dynamics of cultural consumption in contemporary societies. The bibliographic essay discusses sociological concepts that offer possible ways to (re)think ‘the social production of taste’.
