Beschreibung
This book provides an accessible way into the ideas of Basil Bernstein. It introduces, explains and exemplifies key conceptual landmarks in the development of his theory, from his sociolinguistics in the 1960s through analyses of classrooms and the construction of curriculum in the 1970s and 1980s, to studies of intellectual fields of research through the 1990s. The book introduces how these ideas can and have been used in empirical research over the past fifty years, and how they are being built on by scholars in the twenty-first century to create a cumulative approach to understanding education, knowledge and society that is alive and growing today.
Describes one of the most influential approaches in the sociology of education Informs about its contribution to a substantial body of research, particularly into education Encompasses a complex and powerful account of how social inequality and symbolic control are reproduced and changed

“Barrett is successful in arguing that Bernstein’s work is ‘as vital, relevant, and necessary today as it ever has been’ and that it is ‘rather uniquely generative … . He does so in an engaging and accessible writing style, and this volume will do much to ensure the ongoing uptake and development of Bernstein’s ideas by scholars interested in analyzing and addressing educational inequalities.” (Elizabeth Walton, Contemporary Sociology, Vol. 55 (2), March, 2026)
“This book is notable for its readability – Barrett manages to convey the complex nuances of Bernstein’s work with a lucidity and accuracy that is admirable. … this book provides a distillation of the ley lines of the field … . Both graduate students and more seasoned academics will therefore gain considerably from Barrett’s book – as a point of reference and a general frame from which Bernstein’s work can be further explored it will be much appreciated.” (Jim Hordern, British Journal of Educational Studies, Vol. 72 (2), 2024)
