The work of French sociologist, anthropologist and philosopher
Pierre Bourdieu has been influential across a set of cognate
disciplines that can be classified as physical culture studies.
Concepts such as field, capital, habitus and symbolic violence have
been used as theoretical tools by scholars and students looking to
understand the nature and purpose of sport, leisure, physical
education and human movement within wider society. Pierre Bourdieu
and Physical Culture is the first book to focus on the significance
of Bourdieu's work for, and in, physical culture. Bringing together
the work of leading and emerging international researchers, it
introduces the core concepts in Bourdieu's thought and work, and
presents a series of fascinating demonstrations of the application
of his theory to physical culture studies. A concluding section
discusses the inherent difficulties of choosing and using theory to
understand the world around us. By providing an in-depth and
multi-layered example of how theory can be used across the many and
varied components of sport, leisure, physical education and human
movement, this book should help all serious students and
researchers in physical culture to better understand the importance
of social theory in their work.
