This edited volume is the first book to bring together academic
specialists writing on the multi-media operatic form from a range
of disciplines: comparative literature, history, sociology, and
philosophy. The presence in the volume??'s title of Pierre
Bourdieu, the leading cultural sociologist of the late twentieth
century, signals the editors??? intention to synthesize recent
advances in social science with recent advances in musicological
and other scholarship on opera. Through a focus on opera in Italy
and France, the contributors to the volume draw on their respective
disciplines both to expand our knowledge of opera??'s history and
to demonstrate the kinds of contributions that stand to be made by
different disciplines to the study of opera. The volume is divided
into three sections, each of which is preceded by a concise and
informative introduction explaining how the chapters in that
section contribute to our understanding of opera.
