Art vs. Sport?

This paper analyzes the transmission of the leisure associative activities in various family configurations, from about twenty family portraits of children from five to eleven years old. Indeed, even if the model of the omnivore is frequent in the superior classes, the members of these classes do not have all the same relationship to the eclecticism. This research takes back the idea of a division of labor of domination and distinguishes the families of the intellectual occupations and the families of the executives of the private sector. The first ones are characterized by the investment in the recognized cultural practices, the sports activities being more secondary. The seconds invest more the sports world, closer to their professional values. Adapted from the source document.
