{"product_id":"9780253110466","title":"Locating Bourdieu","description":"\u003cp\u003ePierre Bourdieu (1930--2002) had an enormous influence on social and\u003cbr\u003e cultural thought in the second half of the 20th century, leaving a mark on fields as\u003cbr\u003e diverse as sociology, anthropology, critical theory, education, literary criticism,\u003cbr\u003e art history, and media studies. From his childhood in a rural French village, to his\u003cbr\u003e fieldwork in Algeria, to his ascension to the Chair of Sociology at the Collège de\u003cbr\u003e France, Bourdieu's life followed a trajectory both complex and contradictory. In\u003cbr\u003e this original and eloquent study, Deborah Reed-Danahay offers fresh insights on\u003cbr\u003e Bourdieu's work by drawing on the perspectives of ethnography and autobiography.\u003cbr\u003e Using Bourdieu's own reflections upon his life and career and considering the\u003cbr\u003e totality of his research and writing, this book locates Bourdieu within his French\u003cbr\u003e milieu and within the current state of discussion of Europe and its colonial legacy.\u003cbr\u003e Locating Bourdieu revisits major themes and concepts such as structure and practice,\u003cbr\u003e taste and distinction, habitus, social field, symbolic capital, and symbolic\u003cbr\u003e violence, adding new perspectives and discovering implications of Bourdieu's work\u003cbr\u003e for understanding emotion, social space, and personal narrative. The result is a\u003cbr\u003e work of impressive scholarship and intellectual creativity that will appeal to\u003cbr\u003e scholars, students, and non-specialists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNew Anthropologies\u003cbr\u003e of Europe -- Daphne Berdahl, Matti Bunzl, and Michael Herzfeld, editors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084683854064,"sku":"9780253110466","price":17.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780253110466","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
