The GENERAL CONTEXT of such use is:
societal structure: A theory of propositions and analyses presuppossing a theory of classes and 'dominant groups' (fractions of classes or elites), both in the sense of a general conception of the division of societies into such groups and classes which results in the imposition of a culture and in pedagogic action as symbolic violence, and in the narrower sense of a set of derived propositions which define the dominant classes and groups in a particular society and thus link the specific manifestations of pedagogic action with the basic characteristics of a determinate social structure.
