Existing research on food consumption and social differentiation has in the main concentrated on eating out, but there is little research on entertaining inside the home. Based on qualitative interviews with middle class couples at different stages of life in the north of England, we use one example of home entertaining—the dinner party—to analyze how middle class social networks are maintained and extended. For these families, friendship is performed through shared class boundary making, drawing of distinctions and social closure. Using a Bourdieusian theoretical framework, we indicate how home entertaining facilitates the conversion of social networks into cultural capital to maintain class privilege. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2010 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
