This new book gathers together essays concerning the strategic
modes of appropriation that Bourdieu practiced with regard to Marx,
together with their various outcomes. It is especially devoted to
the practice of critique that both thinkers exercised vigilantly
throughout their careers, as this is the terrain on which we can
best illuminate the debt that Bourdieu acknowledged to Marx.
Ongoing dialogue with the entire body of Marxian critique is a
constant in Bourdieu's writings. This is most clearly evidenced by
the adoption of a critical perspective on the social world that
denotes a massive Marxian presence. It is reinforced by the
repeated references to Marx's texts that the sociologist scatters
throughout his works. Indeed, in the interlinked set of critiques
underpinning the architecture of his work, in the plethora of
questions he raises, and in the scientific practice he adopts,
Bourdieu attaches himself to the Marxian model - notwithstanding
his polemical remarks and his own deviations, or, we might even
say, by virtue of them. The book is divided into three
interconnected sections for ease of access: critique of domination,
critique of economic practices and theories, and critique of
ideology. As the first volume in English to explore the
relationship between Bourdieu and Marx, this book is vital reading
for students and scholars of social and anthropological theory.
