Basil Bernstein: The Thinker and the Field provides a comprehensive
introduction to the work of Basil Bernstein, demonstrating his
distinctive contribution to social theory by locating it within the
historical context of the development of the sociology of education
and Sociology in Britain. Although Bernstein had a particular
interest in education, he did not see himself as a sociologist of
education alone. By exploring Bernstein's intellectually
collaborative character and the evolving system of ideas, drawing
upon anthropology and linguistics, the originality of Bernstein's
contribution to the social sciences can be truly identified. Rob
Moore's text offers a provocative and challenging account both of
Bernstein, and of British sociology and education, approaching
Bernstein's work as a complex model of intertwining ideas rather
than a single theory. Continued interest in Bernstein's work has
opened up a world-wide network of scholarship, and Moore considers
contemporary research alongside classical sources in Durkheim and
Marx, to provide a historical analysis of the fields of British
Sociology and the sociology of education, pinpointing Bernstein's
position within them. The book is organised into two main parts:
The Field Background and Beginnings Durkheim, Cosmology and
Education The Problematic The Structure of Pedagogic Discourse
Bernstein and Theory Bernstein and research The Pedagogic Device
Written by a leading authority in the field, this text will be
valuable reading for post-graduate students of sociology and
education, along with active researchers and their research
students.
