Individualization and the Formation of Lifestyles

With the culturalization of social inequalities the very meaning of inequalities changes as well: in self-expression new codes, symbols and lifestyles gain precedence over the former code system of higher-lower and more-less characteristic of the semantics of class and strata. Michailow looks at the possible interpretations of lifestyle in the process of social integration and the way lifestyle semantics become means of differentiation as well as being transformed themselves in the mutually referential structure of social space.
