The following paper could be read with Panofsky's synthesis of some of the
ideas of Vygotsky, Bourdieu and Ratner.

I have a pdf copy if anyone is interested - I can send off-list.

Vertical and Horizontal Discourse: an essay

BASIL BERNSTEIN

Abstract:

The analysis in this paper has its origins in a critical account of the
sociology of education (Bernstein, 1975) where the various approaches to the
study of sociology were taken as the distinguishing feature of the
discourse. This matter was further developed (Bernstein, 1996), with the
distinction between vertical and horizontal discourses and their various
modalities introduced in the context of differentiating this mode of
analysis from more 'Bourdieuan' perspectives. This present paper is
concerned with filling out and extending the sketches adumbrated in earlier
work in a more accessible form. The model proposed generates a language
which relates the internal structure of specialised knowledges, the
positional nature of their fields or arenas of practice, identity
constructions and their change, and the forms of acquisition for successful
performances.
