Resumo: The aim of this article is to reflect on the use of the concept of cultural capital in explaining contemporary school inequalities. Starting from two recent reviews of the use of the concept among English-speaking researchers and in the francophone sociological literature, the article seeks to answer the following questions: is the possession of cultural wealth still a decisive asset for achieving school success? To what extent does that still occur after decades of deep social and educational changes? Our analysis showed that: (i) established cultural practices are now less profitable and less transferable than in the past; (ii) parents’ financial investments have increasingly emerged as a driving force for their children’s school success.

Partiendo de dos recientes balances sobre el uso del concepto en el universo científico del idioma inglés y en la literatura sociológica francófona, el texto intenta contestar las siguientes preguntas: ¿la posesión de la riqueza cultural todavía es un activo escolar decisivo para obtener el éxito escolar? ¿En qué medida ello aún ocurre después de décadas de profundas transformaciones sociales y educativas? El análisis puso de manifiesto que: (i) las prácticas culturales consagradas son en la actualidad menos rentables y menos transmisibles que en el pasado; (ii) las inversiones económicas de los padres se han mostrado cada vez más un elemento que impulsa el éxito escolar de los hijos.L’objectif de cet article est de réfléchir à propos de l’utilisation du concept de capital culturel pour expliquer les inégalités scolaires contemporaines. À partir de deux bilans récents sur l’utilisation du concept dans le monde scientifique anglophone et dans la littérature sociologique francophone, le texte tente de répondre aux questions suivantes : la possession de biens culturels reste-t-elle un atout scolaire décisif pour la réussite scolaire ? Dans quelle mesure cela se produit encore après des décennies de profondes transformations sociales et éducatives? L’analyse a montré que : (i) les pratiques culturelles consacrées sont aujourd’hui moins rentables et transmissibles que par le passé; (ii) les investissements économiques des parents deviennent de plus en plus un élément moteur de la réussite scolaire des enfants.O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre o uso do conceito de capital cultural na explicação das desigualdades escolares contemporâneas. Partindo de dois balanços recentes sobre o uso do conceito no universo científico de língua inglesa e na literatura sociológica francófona, o texto tenta responder às seguintes questões: a posse da riqueza cultural ainda é um trunfo escolar decisivo para a obtenção do êxito escolar? Em que medida isso ainda ocorre após décadas de profundas transformações sociais e educacionais? A análise evidenciou que: (i) as práticas culturais consagradas são hoje menos rentáveis e menos transmissíveis do que no passado; (ii) os investimentos econômicos dos pais têm se mostrado cada vez mais um elemento impulsionador do sucesso escolar dos filhos.  Fundação Carlos Chagas2021-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://publicacoes.fcc.org.br/cp/article/view/7468Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 51 (2021); e07468Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 51 (2021); e07468Cadernos de Pesquisa; Vol. 51 (2021); e07468Cadernos de Pesquisa; v. 51 (2021); e074681980-53140100-1574reponame:Cadernos de Pesquisa (Fundação Carlos Chagas.
