Symbolic violence

Symbolic violence

The concept of symbolic violence was first introduced by French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu to account for the tacit almost unconscious modes of cultural/social domination occurring within the every-day social habits maintained over conscious subjects. Symbolic violence maintains its effect through the mis-recognition of power relations situated in the social matrix of a given field.

Tennessee", ussc|501|808|1991, an example of symbolic violence, complete with its rituals of the jury.Wood, Jennifer K, "Refined raw: The symbolic violence of victims' rights reforms," "College Literature", Winter 1999, found at [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa3709/is_199901/ai_n8849488/pg_7 BNet FindArticles.com] .
