Study description

The study “Social and Cultural Capital in Serbia” focuses on the investigation of the structure of the distribution of various types and sub-types of capital - which represent the immanent structure of society in Serbia - and of the strategies of individuals and social groups based on different combinations of these resources. In this study, researchers were particularly interested in studying the use of social and cultural resources in shaping strategies of individuals in everyday life and the social and symbolic struggles of their holders, who are trying to introduce different types of closure/exclusion mechanisms based on those capitals which work best to their advantage. The goals of the research project “Social and Cultural Capital in Serbia” have been: a) to ascertain how different classes and social groups in Serbia differ in terms of resources (economic and, in particular, social and cultural capital) on the basis of survey data; b) to reconstruct the strategies which the citizens of Serbia use in everyday life (relying on a combination of resources available to them) – principally on the basis of data collected through in-depth interviews and focus groups; and c) to analyze the social and symbolic struggles of the holders of different types of capital in everyday life in Serbian society and at the institutional level – on the basis of focus groups, interviews, and analyses of secondary sources.
