Needs an example

[edit]

This sort of stuff is always hard to understand without examples. Could someone who understands the topic please provide a clear example of symbolic power in the introduction (as has been done for symbolic capital for example).

Jargonesque

[edit]

This article is in need of some serious work. It's pure academic jargon and does not belong in an encyclopedia.Hwhitbread (talk) 02:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Give it time. We're working on dejargonising the theorist and this will come next, with expansion. In doing that, I'm finding separate articles/stubs explaining Bourdieu's jargon very helpful, making it easier to do quickly. Julia Rossi (talk) 02:22, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title

[edit]

This article should be titled 'Symbolic power', not 'violence'. Seligenstadt (talk) 20:36, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quite. As the article also claims it's synonymous with 'soft power', and 'soft power' has nothing to do with violence. If anything it's the opposite. Ben Finn (talk) 17:19, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Symbolic violenceSymbolic power – The whole article is about symbolic power. Symbolic power exists as a redirect to another page, but this could be clarified with a template at the top of the page. TheMightyQuill (talk) 17:08, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
