• Symbolic Violence – Archer

  Schools impose forms of symbolic violence against students whose identities are shaped by designer clothing or hyper-heterosexual feminine behaviour (usually w/c), suggests to those students that education is not for them.
• wc pupils invest in ‘nike’ identities, leading to self-exclusion from education because it doesn't fit their identity and way of life; they see it as unrealistic (it is for richer and cleverer people) and undesirable (it does not suit their habitus).
