ABSTRACT: This study describes the practice of social life in the field of music in the city of Bontang, based on a sociological perspective using the generative formulation of the theory of Pierre Bourdieu (Habitus x Modal) + Ranah = Practice. This shows that the existence of the Bontang Reggae Community has produced several groups consisting of Reggae Grill, Slow Reggae, and Reggae Vibe groups as actors who practice in the realm of reggae music. This group was formed because of the different knowledge and understanding in the field of reggae music as a realm of space for social life, which then produced various habitus according to the realm of music in each group. Also, the existence of each group has been supported by the existence of a classification of capital which according to Bourdieu consists of four fundamental capitals including material capital, social capital, cultural capital, and symbolic capital. The three groups produce a practice resulting from dialectical relations through habitus-modal interactions in different and prominent domains of reggae music. The Reggae Grill group produces practices that come from symbolic capital, and circular habitus or the use of Cannabis, then the Slow Reggae group produces modern music practices that come from material capital and cultural capital, and the Reggae Vibe group produces solidarity practices that come from cultural capital and capital. symbolic, as well as group habitus. ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini menggambarkan praktik kehidupan sosial masyarakat pada bidang seni musik di kota Bontang, berdasarkan perspektif sosiologi dengan menggunakan rumusan generatif teori Pierre Bourdieu (Habitus x Modal) + Ranah = Praktik. Menunjukkan bahwa keberadaan Bontang Reggae Community telah melahirkan beberapa kelompok yang terdiri dari kelompok Reggae Grill, Slow Reggae, dan Reggae Vibe sebagai aktor yang melakukan praktik dalam ranah kehidupan seni musik reggae. Kelompok ini terbentuk karna adanya pengetahuan dan pemahaman yang berbeda-beda di bidang seni musik reggae sebagai ranah atau ruang kehidupan sosial, yang kemudian menghasilkan berbagai habitus sesuai dengan ranah musik pada masing-masing kelompok. Selain itu, keberadaan setiap kelompok telah didukung dengan adanya klasifikasi modal yang menurut Bourdieu terdiri dari keempat modal fundamental diantaranya adalah, modal material, modal sosial, modal kultural, dan modal simbolik. Ketiga kelompok tersebut menghasilkan sebuah praktik yang dihasilkan dari hubungan dialektis melalui interaksi habitus-modal dalam ranah musik reggae yang berbeda dan menonjol. Kelompok Reggae Grill menghasilkan praktik yang bersumber dari modal simbolik, dan habitus melingkar atau penggunaan Cannabis, kemudian kelompok Slow Reggae menghasilkan praktik musik modern yang bersumber dari modal material dan modal budaya, serta kelompok Reggae Vibe menghasilkan praktik solidaritas yang bersumber dari modal budaya, dan modal simbolik, serta habitus berkelompok.

ABSTRACT: Strategies and Struggles of Street Vendors in Pasar Pagi Village, Samarinda City. This thesis stems from my curiosity about the reasons these actors choose street vendors as their realm of work. As well as regarding field practices and competition between fellow business actors from relatively small to relatively large capital. Practices in the field of actors in the realm of business do not only rely on material capital but also on social capital, cultural capital, and symbolic capital as a form of strategy for the actors to maintain their business. Street vendors, as businessmen with relatively small capital, are not only competing with fellow street vendors, but also with large capital owners. The strategy used by street vendors is to collect capital and convert their capital even though their capital is relatively small. There are various forms of capital and habitus that are owned by street vendors. This is all as a support for the actors to be able to continue to survive in this realm. The street vendor is a practice from the flow of life that is not on their side. The minimal material capital and the exclusion of these actors with large investors make them more struggling and have a strategy to be able to maintain their business. ABSTRAK: Strategi dan Perjuangan Pedagang Kaki Lima di Kelurahan Pasar Pagi Kota Samarinda. Skripsi ini bermula dari rasa ingin tahu saya tentang alasan para aktor ini memilih pedagang kaki lima sebagai ranah pekerjaan yang mereka jalani. Serta tentang praktik lapangan dan persaingan antara sesama pelaku bisnis dari yang bermodalkan relatif kecil sampai yang bermodalkan relatif besar. Praktik di lapangan para pelaku di ranah bisnis nyatanya bukan hanya mengandalkan modal material saja melainkan juga modal social, modal budaya dan modal simbolik sebagai bentuk strategi para actor dalam mempertahankan usahanya. Pedagang kaki lima sebagai pelaku bisnis yang bermodalkan relative kecil nyatanya bukan hanya bersaing dengan sesame pedagang kaki lima akan tetapi juga dengan para pemilik modal-modal besar. Strategi yang digunakan para pedagang kaki lima dari mengumpulkan modal dan mengkonversikan modal mereka lakoni walupun modal mereka relatf kecil. Bentuk variasai-variasi modal dan habitus yang dimiliki oleh pedagang kaki lima beraneka ragam. Ini semua sebagai penunjang para aktor untuk dapat terus bertahan dalam ranah ini. Pedagang kaki lima merupakan praktik dari arus kehidupan yang tidak memihak kepada mereka. Modal material yang minim serta tersisihkannya para aktor ini dengan para pemodal besar membuat mereka lebih berjuang dan memiliki strategi untuk dapat mempertahankan usaha mereka.

This research examines the habitus creation in the neighborhood of Al-Amin which is located at Banjar Sanglah, Denpasar City. This neighborhood evidently is able to actualize the inter-religious harmony since 1970 until now. In the related study, the concept of habitus from Pierre Bourdieu with formulation (Habitus x Capital) + Field = Practice was applied, while adopted the ethnography method. Through the conducted study, Bourdieu’s concept of habitus was able to explain the cognitive structure of various actors who play an essential role in the creation of the Al-Amin neighborhood, starting from the system of symbolic capital disposition, social capital, economic capital and cultural capital. Furthermore, the continuous harmony in the neighborhood of Al-Amin is due to its strong social and cultural capital. However, the harmony is inseparable from the framework between majority with minority, thus the character of social capital and especially the cultural capital in the neighborhood of Al-Amin tend to coopt other forms of capital.

Place branding is a network of associations in the consumer’s mind, based on the visual, verbal, and behavioral expression of a place. Food can be an important tool to summarize it as it is part of the culture of a city and its symbolic capital. Food is imaginary, a ritual and a social construction. This paper aims to explore a ritual that has turned into one of the brands of Lisbon in the past few years. The fresh sardines barbecued out of doors, during Saint Anthony’s festival, has become a symbol that can be found on t-shirts, magnets and all kinds of souvenirs. Over the year, tourists can buy sardine shaped objects in very cheap stores to luxurious shops. There is even a whole boutique dedicated to the fish: “The Fantastic World of Portuguese Sardines” and an annual competition promoted by the city council to choose the five most emblematic designs of sardines. In order to analyze the Sardine phenomenon from a city branding point of view, the objective of this paper is to comprehend what associations are made by foreigners when they are outside of Lisbon. As a methodological procedure five design sardines, were used of last year to questioning to which city they relate them in interviews carried in Madrid, Lyon, Rome and London. Upon completion of the analysis, the results of the city branding strategy adopted by the city council to promote the sardines as the official symbol of Lisbon is seen as a Folkmarketing action. The effects are positive, but still quite local. On the other hand, significant participation of the Lisbon´s dwellers in the Sardine Contest was observed, which seems to be a good way to promote the city identity and pride in their best ambassador: the citizens.

This qualitative research involving semi-structured interviews with Ukrainian university students in Canada helps to understand their educational experience using the concept of cultural capital put forward by Pierre Bourdieu. It was found that Ukrainian students possess high levels of cultural capital, which provides them with advantage in Canada. Specific patterns of social inequality and state-sponsored obstacles to social reproduction lead to particular ways of acquiring cultural capital in Ukraine represented by a more equitable approach to the availability of print, access to extracurricular activities, and popularity of enriched curriculum. Further research on cultural capital in post-socialist countries is also discussed.

The article analyses descriptions, memories, and notes on Dresden found in eighteenth-century accounts of Polish travellers. The overarching research objective is to capture the specificity of the way of presenting the city. The ways that Dresden is described are determined by genological diversity of texts, different ways of narration, the use of rhetorical repertoire, and the time of their creation. There are two dominant ways of presenting the city: the first one foregrounds the architectural and historical values, the second one revolves around social life and various kinds of games (redoubts, performances).

Holy Week is one of the most important traditions in many parts of the world and a complex expression of cultural heritage. The main goal of this article is to explore which factors determine participation in Holy Week celebrations in the city of Palencia (Spain), measured through the number of processions attended. For this purpose, an econometric count data model is used. Variables included in the model not only reflect participants' sociodemographic features but other factors reflecting cultural capital, accumulated experience, and social aspects of the event. A distinction is drawn between three types of participants: brotherhood members, local residents, and visitors, among whom a survey was conducted to collect the information required. A total of 248 surveys were carried out among brotherhood members, 209 among local residents, and 259 among visitors. The results confirm the religious and social nature of this event, especially in the case of local participants. However, in the case of visitors, participation also depends on aspects reflecting the celebration's cultural and tourist dimension—such as visiting other religious and cultural attractions—suggesting the existence of specific tourism linked to the event. All of this suggests the need to manage the event, ensuring a balance is struck between the various stakeholders' interests and developing a tourist strategy that prioritizes public-private cooperation.

This book analyses the physical, social, and cultural history of Rome in late antiquity. Between AD 270 and 535, the former capital of the Roman empire experienced a series of dramatic transformations in its size, appearance, political standing, and identity, as emperors moved to other cities and the Christian church slowly became its dominating institution. Urban Space and Aristocratic Power in Late Antique Rome provides a new picture of these developments, focusing on the extraordinary role played by members of the traditional elite, the senatorial aristocracy, in the redefinition of the city, its institutions, and spaces. During this period, Roman senators and their families became increasingly involved in the management of the city and its population, in building works, and in the performance of secular and religious ceremonies and rituals. As this study shows, for approximately three hundred years the houses of the Roman elite competed with imperial palaces and churches in shaping the political map and the social life of the city. Making use of modern theories of urban space, the book considers a vast array of archaeological, literary, and epigraphic documents to show how the former centre of the Mediterranean world was progressively redefined and controlled by its own elite.
