This edited volume brings 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 synthesise advances in social science with
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.
