 Cultural Dissonances and Multiple Socialization: Revisiting Bourdieu*\n\nA
 bstract: By considering cultural practices and preferences from the viewpo
 int of an intra-individual variation of behaviours\, we obtain a picture o
 f the social world free of the cultural caricature of social groups\, in w
 hich individual singularities are present. Most importantly\, what then ap
 pears is the fact that the boundary between ³cultural legitimacy² and ³
 cultural\nillegitimacy² separates not only the different social classes b
 ut also the different cultural practices and preferences of the same indiv
 iduals in all classes. Without questioning the existence of social inequal
 ities as regards the most legitimate cultural forms\, this perspective on 
 knowledge enables us to show the high statistical frequency of individual\
 ncultural profiles composed of heterogeneous or dissonant elements. After 
 considering the socio-historical conditions of production of heterogeneous
  cultural profiles\, we can see how these different cultural dissonances i
 nfluence the interpretation of the social functions of\nculture\, and high
 light the interest of the hypothesis in terms of which each individual can
  be defined as a  ³mix of genres².\n\n3.30-4.00pm - Question time\n\n4.0

 Boundaries and Social Closure: A Response to B. Lahire*\n\nAbstract: Chang
 es in the cultural and social spheres have brought about higher levels of 
 mix of cultural and social forms and\, as a result\, greater variation wit
 hin social groups\, as well as greater heterogeneity of individual tastes 
 and practices. At the same time\, the comparative analysis of social group
 s still shows not only considerable differences between them in terms of v
 alues\, beliefs and resources but also active assertion and use of these d
 ifferences\, especially but not only by upper-class groups\, to recreate s
 ocial closure. Reconciling these two perspectives implies a comparative ex
 amination of cultural and social forms to distinguish those that appear to
  some extent at least “trans-class” from those that appear strongly 
 “class-embedded” as well as of differences between classes and class f
 ractions to distinguish “major” and “minor” boundaries between the
