    [NT 15000229]: The Sociology of Elite Distinction offers a systematic discussion ofthe theoretical frameworks which deal with symbolic manifestations of eminence from a comparative standpoint. Through a wide exploration of external and embodied signs of superiority, but also vicarious display, Jean-Pascal Daloz demonstrates that considerable dissimilarities between societies, and across historical periods, question the generalizing ambitions of many classical models of interpretation. This major contribution to the study of social distinction leads us to examine a variety of fascinating facets such asprestigious goods, posture, distinguishedmanners, or glamorous female company. It is essential reading for scholars and researchers interested in upper groups and expressions of social rank.
