Distinction

Synopsis
In this guide to the strategies of pretension in contemporary France, Bourdieu describes how class segments separate from each other by their contrasting attitudes towards art and beauty.

Pierre Bourdieu

This short critical introduction to the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu is set forth clearly. Where Bourdieu's original writings are often densely argued and ambiguous, Richard Jenkins is direct, concise and to the point. He emphasizes Bourdieu's contributions to the theory and methodology while also dealing in detail with his substantive studies of education, social stratification and culture.

The Field of Cultural Production

A book of great interest to students and scholars from a wide range of disciplines: sociology and social theory, literature, art and cultural studies. Bourdieu sets out a theory of the cultural field which situates artistic works within the social conditions of their production, circulation and consumption.
