abstract |
Devolved government in Scotland actively reconstitutes the unequal conditions of social
class reproduction. Recognition of state-led class reconstitution draws upon the social
theory of Bourdieu. Our analysis of social class in devolved Scotland revisits theories
that examine the state as a ‘power container’. A range of state-enabling powers regulate
the legal, economic, social, and cultural containers of class relations as specific
forms of what Bourdieu called economic, social, and cultural ‘capital’. The preconditions
of class reproduction are structured in direct ways by the Scottish state as a wealth
container but also, more indirectly, as a cultural container and a social container.
Competitive nationalism in the devolved Scottish state enacts neoliberal policies
as a class-specific worldview but, at the same time, discursively frames society as
a panclass national fraternity in terms of distinctive Scottish values of welfare
nationalism. Nationalism is able to express this ambiguity in symbolic ways in which
the partisan language of social class cannot.Nationalism is able to express this ambiguity
in symbolic ways in which the partisan language of social class cannot. |
