description This article presents an analysis of the continuity and updates in the composition of the cultural capital in Brazil. From a case study based on participant observation carried out in a higher education institution in which medium-high and high fractions of Brazilian stratification predominate, the text shows how “capital of internationalization” and “capital of diversity” currently compose the search for cosmopolitanism as a distinctive element in symbolic disputes between groups and classes. Besides examining the modernity of the Bourdieusian notion of “cultural good will,” analyzing “international good will” and “reverse good will,” the article explores contradictions, tensions, and conflicts which emerge when the discourse of diversity, grounded in difference and inequality, is transformed into symbolic value among elite fractions.

From a case study based on participant observation carried out in a higher education institution in which medium-high and high fractions of Brazilian stratification predominate, the text shows how “capital of internationalization” and “capital of diversity” currently compose the search for cosmopolitanism as a distinctive element in symbolic disputes between groups and classes.

El artículo presenta un análisis de las continuidades y cambios en la composición del capital cultural en Brasil. Muestra cómo el “capital de internacionalización” y el “capital de diversidad” son actualmente parte de la búsqueda por cosmopolitismo como un elemento distintivo en las disputas simbólicas entre diferentes fracciones de clase. Basado en un estudio de caso realizado a través de la observación participante en una institución de educación superior en la que predominan las clases alta y media-alta brasileñas, el texto también aborda las formas actuales de “buena voluntad cultural”, en el sentido de Bourdieu, llamadas de “buena voluntad internacional” y “buena voluntad al revés”. Además, explora las contradicciones, tensiones y conflictos que surgen cuando el discurso de la diversidad, lastrado en diferencias y desigualdades sociales, se convierte en un valor simbólico entre élites. O artigo apresenta uma análise das permanências e atualizações na composição do capital cultural no Brasil. A partir de estudo de caso baseado em observação participante realizada em estabelecimento de ensino superior em que predominam frações médias-altas e altas da estratificação brasileira, o texto mostra como capital de internacionalização e capital de diversidade compõem atualmente a busca pelo cosmopolitismo como elemento distintivo nas disputas simbólicas entre grupos e classes. Além de examinar a atualidade da noção bourdieusiana de boa vontade cultural, analisando a boa vontade internacional e a boa vontade às avessas, o artigo explora contradições, tensões e conflitos que emergem quando o discurso da diversidade, lastreado na diferença e na desigualdade, se transforma em valor simbólico entre frações de elite. 2019-07-29 2022-03-18T18:33:41Z 2022-03-18T18:33:41Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/12327 10.52780/res.12327 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63335 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/12327/8385 Copyright (c) 2019 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 24 n. 46 (2019): Dossiê: Para além da distinção: condicionantes sociais do gosto e disputas simbólicas na contemporaneidade 1982-4718 1414-0144
