Episode #13: The Politics of Class Analysis and Croatian Society

July 5, 2024

In the thirteenth episode of the Political Science Podcast, our host Enes Kulenović interviewed Karin Doolan, Professor at the Department of Sociology at the University of Zadar. The main topic of discussion were social inequalities in the perspective of Bourdieusian class analysis, which considers classes through the prism of economic, cultural and social capital, associated with habitus and taste of agents in social fields. The focus of the conversation was on the specifics of class pyramid in Croatia regarding the share and composition of the dominant class, middle class, working class and underclass. The issues raised by the categories of intersectionality and regional differences, as well as the psychological landscape of social classes and institutional habitus, were also tackled. Additional topics were the material and affective experience of the state as a relational modality in crisis, and the new research project about the cartography of political novel in Europe regarding the politics of required reading in schools and civic education. If you are interested in the connection between analytical and normative in the public sociology of class analysis guided by the ideas of Pierre Bourdieu, beyond the discourse of national homogeneity and entrenched identity disputes in contemporary Croatia, tune in once again to the Political Science Podcast!
