The work of Pierre Bourdieu, one of the most influential French
intellectuals of the twentieth century, has had an enormous impact
on research in fields as diverse as aesthetics, education,
anthropology, and sociology. Pierre Bourdieu: Fieldwork in Art,
Literature, and Culture is the first collection of essays to focus
specifically on the contribution of Bourdieu's thought to the study
of cultural production. Though Bourdieu's own work has illuminated
diverse cultural phenomena, the essays in this volume extend to new
cultural forms and to national situations outside France. Far from
simply applying Bourdieu's concepts and theoretical tools to these
new contexts, the essays in this volume consider both the
possibility and limits of Bourdieu's sociology for the study of
culture.
This open access book explores literary works and practices -
always existing in the dynamic relation between locations and
orientations - in a series of carefully designed case studies.
Explicitly expressed or implied, manifesting itself sometimes as
dislocation and disorientation, the claiming of space by any
symbolic means necessary is revealed as a constant effect of
literary endeavors. In dialogue with geopolitics of culture,
sociology and anthropology, attention to literary locations and
orientations brings spatial particularity into the study of world
literatures. These case studies demonstrate that four key terms
(cosmopolitan, vernacular, location, orientation) can frame
analyses of very different types of literary acts and texts in the
contemporary period, allowing for distinctions that are not
captured within the grids of other conceptual pairs like
centre-periphery, local-global, postcolonial-metropolitan,
North-South. With this framing, expressive practices in a wide
range of regions - including Europe, Africa, the Middle East and
the Pacific - are analysed in ways that bring out how spatiality is
at stake in the cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamic. The eBook editions
of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 3.0
