Against the background of Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus and social space, the book examines student subject cultures. In doing so, the author looks at the social trajectory of students from their family of origin to their current lifestyles to their professional future and extends the analysis to include the level of political space.
Based on a quantitative survey of students in law, economics, business administration, social sciences, philosophy, mathematics, and biology, the book addresses the following question:
What elective affinities, correspondences, and homologies exist between lifestyles, occupational future orientations, and political dispositions?
