  20.

  21. Controversy over the Policy Document of Moral and National Education (MNE) Subject Curriculum Guideline in HKSAR • Putting the MNE discourse in the perspective of the sociology of education “Each society sets up a certain idea of man, of what he should be, as much from the intellectual point of view as the physical and moral; that this ideal is, to a degree, the same for all the citizens; that beyond a certain point it becomes differentiated according to the particular milieux that every society contains in its structure. It is this ideal, at the same time one and various, that is the focus of education. Its function, then, is to arouse in the child: (1) a certain number of physical and mental states that the society to which he belongs considers should not be lacking in any of its members; (2) certain physical and mental states that the particular social group (caste, class, family, profession) considers, equally, ought to be found among all those who make it up. …….

  22. Controversy over the Policy Document of Moral and National Education (MNE) Subject Curriculum Guideline in HKSAR • Putting the MNE discourse in the perspective of the sociology of education “….…Society can survive only if there exists among its members a sufficient degree of homogeneity; education perpetuates and reinforces this homogeneity by fixing in the child, from the beginning, the essential similarities that collective life demands. But on the other hand, without a certain diversity all co-operation would be impossible; education assures the persistence of this necessary diversity by being itself diversified and specialized.” (Durkheim, 2006/1911, p. 79-80)

  23. Controversy over the Policy Document of Moral and National Education (MNE) Subject Curriculum Guideline in HKSAR • Putting the MNE discourse inthe perspective of the sociology of curriculum “Formal educational knowledge can be considered to be realized through three message system: curriculum, pedagogy, and evaluation. Curriculum defines what courts as valid knowledge, pedagogy defines what courts as valid transmission of knowledge, and evaluation defines what counts as a valid realization of this knowledge on the part of the taught. …How a society selects, classifies, distributes, transmits, and evaluates the educational knowledge it considers to be public reflects both the distribution of power and the principles of social control within that society.” (Knowledge and Control, 1970, p. 47)

  26. Understanding the Concept of the State • Max Weber’s Definition of the State “Today, however, we have to say that a state is a human community that (successfully) claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical force within a given territory. Note that ‘territory’ is one of the characteristics of the state. Specifically, at the present time, the right to use physical force is ascribed to other institutions or individuals only to the extent to which the state permits it. The state is consider the sole source of the ‘right’ to use violence.” (Weber, 1946, p. 78)

  27. (1929-2008) (1864-1920)

  28. Understanding the Concept of the State • Charles Tilly’s Definition of the State An organization which control the population occupying a definite territory is a state insofar as (1) it is differentiated from other organizations operating in the same territory; (2) it is autonomous; (3) it is centralized; and (4) its division are formally coordinated with one another. (Tilly, 1975, p. 70)

  29. Understanding the Concept of the State • The constituent features of modern state • The definitive territory • The definitive subjects • Monopoly of use of force and sovereign power • The establishment of internal and external public authority

  30. Understanding the Concept of the State • Charles Tilly’s conception of “Stateness” The level and degree of stateness can be “measured by formal autonomy, differentiation from nongovernmental organizations, centralization, and internal coordination” of a government. (Tilly, 1975, p.34)

  31. Understanding the Concept of the State • Marxist’s conception of the state • “The executive of the modern state is but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie.” (Marx & Engels, 1848) • “The state is an organ of class rule, an organ for the oppression of one class by another; it is the creation of ‘order’ which legalizes and perpetuates this oppression by moderating the conflict between the classes.” (Lenin, 1917) • Althusser’s instrumentalist perspective • Repressive state apparatus • Ideological state apparatus

  32. Theories of State Formation • Stein Rokkan’s theory of state formation • From primordial peripheral community to central establishment • Four trajectories of functional differentiations • Economic-technological differentiation and the establishment of Cities  Cross-local commercial-industrial organization • Military-administrative differentiation and the establishment of Military Organizations for control of external conflict • Judicial-legislative differentiation and the establishment of Judiciary  Organizations for management of internal conflict • Religious-symbolic differentiation and the establishment of Church  Cross-local script religion

  34. Theories of State Formation • Charles Tilly’s theory of state formation: Coercion, Capital, and European States, AD 900-1992 (1992) • Accumulation and concentration of coercion, and the growth and formation of the state • Accumulation and concentration of capital, and the formation and growth of cities • Coalition and conflict within the state • Class coalition and struggle in the realm of exploitation • Coalition and struggle between state authority and citizenship in the realm of domination

  38. Theories of State Formation • Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of State Formation • Definition of the State • “Using a variation of Max Weber’s famous formula, that the state is an X (to be determined) which successfully claims the monopoly of the legitimate use of physical and symbolic violence over a definite territory and over the totality of the corresponding population.” (Bourdieu, 1999, p. 56)

  39. (1930-2002)

  40. Theories of State Formation • Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of State Formation • Definition of the State • “The state is the culmination of a process of concentration of different species of capital: • capital of physical force or instruments of coercion • economic capital, • cultural &/or information capital, and • symbolic capital.” (p. 57)

Theories of State Formation • Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of State Formation • Project of constitution of physical & fiscal efficacy of the state • Accumulation of physical capital • Internal physical capital accumulation: Policing system • External physical capital accumulation: Army (Military) system • Accumulation of economic capital • Constitution of taxation and fiscal system

  42. Theories of State Formation • Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of State Formation • Project of constitution of symbolic efficacy of the state • Concentration of informational capital: “The state concentrates, treats, and redistributes information and, most of all, effects a theoretical unification. Taking the vantage point of the Whole, of society in its totality, the state claims responsibility for all operations of totalization (especially thanks to census taking and statistics or national accounting) and of objectivation through cartography (the unitary representation of space from above) or more simply through writing as an instrument of accumulation of knowledge (e.g. archive), as well as for all operation of codification as cognitive unification.” (p. 61)

  43. Theories of State Formation • Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of State Formation • Project of constitution of symbolic efficacy of the state • Concentration of cultural capital: “The state contributes to the unification of the cultural market by unifying all codes, linguistic and juridical, and by effecting a homogenization of all forms of communication, including bureaucratic communication. Through classification systems inscribed in law, through bureaucratic procedures, educational structures and social rituals, the state molds mental structures and imposes common principles of vision and division, forms of thinking that are to the civilized mind. … And it thereby contributes to the construction of what is commonly designated as national identity.” (p. 61)

  44. Theories of State Formation • Pierre Bourdieu’s Theory of State Formation • Project of constitution of symbolic efficacy of the state • Constitution of symbolic capital: • “Symbolic capital is any property (any form of capital whether physical, economic, cultural or social) when it is perceived by social agents endowed with categories of perception which cause them to know it and to recognize it, to give it value.” (p. 62) • Concentration of juridical capital • Nomination of state nobility

  45. Conception of Citizenship: Membership in the Modern State • Reinhard Bendix’s Definition of Citizenship: • Individualistic and plebiscitarian membership before the sovereign and nation-wide public authority • Development of citizenship: “the codification of the rights and duties of all adults who are classified as citizens”.
