Bourdieu once commented that what was needed was a 'new gaze' on
the social world - a metanoia. This book describes this view and
how to do it. Based on biographical detail and the socio-political
contexts which surrounded him, it sets out his vision of society
and culture. Grounded on the distinction between traditional and
modern worlds, it shows how ethnographic experience led Bourdieu to
an intellectual epiphany. It demonstrates the growth of his
conceptual tools and the emergence of 'field theory' in various
contexts: law, religion, fashion, sport, culture, fine art,
philosophy, literature and politics. The book offers an up-to-date,
extensive account of Bourdieu, his work and its significance. It
centres on philosophical questions of social experience and
intellectual practice. Based around his entire oeuvre, it features
recent posthumous publications in French, providing important
insights for the first time into his way of viewing the world.
Including issues of the state, neoliberalism and resistance, this
book explores the ways in which the social, philosophical and
political came together for Bourdieu to shape how we see ourselves
and our place in the contemporary world - a metanoia. Being both an
introductory and advanced text, it is a valuable resource for the
newcomer to Bourdieu as well as the experienced researcher. It will
be of interest to undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers of
Bourdieu's work in the areas of sociology, media, philosophy,
religion, economics, architecture, cultural studies, education,
music, journalism, gender studies, politics, the law, fine arts and
linguistics.
