Symbolic Power And Order Production

This paper uses Bourdieu 's theory of symbolic power to analyze the genealogical texts and compilation activities of Clan Huang.It focuses on the following issues:First,in the process of revision and daily practice,genealogy is how to reconstruct the authority in a changing environment and develop symbolic power? Second,how does the genealogy reproduce the order within the clan?Research suggests that the contradictions between individuals and editorial boards essentially reflect the problem of social disorganization faced by the transformation of the times.Behind each story is a representative social disorganization problem.During the transition period,the authority of the Huang clan genealogy in W Village is facing challenges.The reconstruction of its authority is not only guaranteed by the editorial board's active actions in the process of genealogy editing,but also through the process of occupying symbolic capital and legalizing and symbolizing achieve.The genealogical authority is productive in nature.W village clan associations and editorial committees use identity reproduction,cultural reproduction,and power reproduction to construct the actual order within the clan.
