	Greg Acciaioli on Bourdieu
		Bourdieu's use of this term thus captures the notion of the naturalization of the arbitrary, for it not only connotes that which is held to be true by popular opinion but also that which structures expectation due to the repute in which it is held.
		In Bourdieu's usage, polythesis or the "confusion of spheres" is a result of applying the same generative schemes to a number of different logical universes in a manner that is approximate without an understanding of the conditions of its own approximation (that is, the respect in which the two universes can be considered partially congruent).
		Bourdieu's "decoding" of this story involves the analogization of the ingestion of the snakes to fecundation, the inversion of procreation through the ingestion of eggs (that is, a female form rather than the appropriate male form of semen).

		Bourdieu was trying to show how the choices these people made (and he often wrote of choices that were not really choices) were expressions of the articulation of habitus and the social field in which it is operating.
		Bourdieu felt that a truly scientific sociology depended on reflexivity on the part of the researcher, and by this he meant being able to analyze one’s own position in the social field and one’s own habitus.
		Bourdieu included a section on self-interpretation in his book on Heidegger, in which he referred to it as “the riposte of the author to those interpretations and interpreters who at once objectify and legitimize the author, by telling him what he is and thereby authorizing him to be what they say he is...” (101).

		Bourdieu's is a dark vision featuring perpetuai class conflict, largely futile struggles for power and prestige and a society divided between the dominators and the dominated.
		Bourdieu is a soft-spoken, grayhaired man with a gravelly chuckle and a kindly smile.
		Bourdieu's father was determined that his son should succeed, and he enrolled at the region's best high school Eventually he won admission to the École Normale, the traditional alma mater of French intellectuals.

	John H. Scahill / MEANING-CONSTRUCTION AND HABITUS
		Bourdieu and his colleagues at the Center of European Sociology in Paris have produced a sustained and critical analysis of the role of schooling in reproducing class structures in modern France.
		Bourdieu’s central contribution has been the extension of the reproduction motif beyond the boundaries of epiphenomenal economic base — educational superstructure models to analyze the internal logic of an educational system which — while concealing its role — simultaneously reproduces and legitimates the capitalist social formation.
		Bourdieu has developed a middle ground on theoretical issues of structure and agency, i.e., material or structural influences shaping human action, as opposed to voluntarist, self-directed individual action having the potential to alter social structures.

	Bridget Fowler: Pierre Bourdieu and Cultural Theory
		However this is not just an explication of Bourdieu, Fowler takes great care in cataloguing her objections when she finds him simplistic and silent, particularly in terms of the feminist role in art, but also on issues like his limited analysis of the subjective experience of new art forms.
		Bourdieu's practice is a social order of rules mediated by "feeling" where individuals respond to social imperatives, not mechanistically, but more on the order of an experienced jazz musician or athletic player.
		She explains that for Bourdieu there is a difference between the "aesthetic gaze" and the "naive gaze." While the former looks at form and structure as a means of expression, the latter finds beauty in the commonplace.

	Bourdieu and La Domination Masculine
		Bourdieu applies his theory in an unexpected way at this point, to argue that because gay men and lesbians have relatively greater access to cultural capital, they are particularly likely to win the strategic struggles over their own sexual legitimacy.
		Bourdieu argues that it is rather a strategic choice of action to be grasped beyond the level of the purely calculative consciousness but not, at the other extreme, to be mechanically linked to the demands of the economy or the State.
		Bourdieu’s conception of the human body as substantially formed by “society in the mind”gives his modelling of gender divisions a depth which Turner never quite achieves and which owes much to the sociological interpretations of the somatised body proposed by Elias.

	In perspective: Pierre Bourdieu
		Bourdieu thus strove to develop a 'reflexive sociology' which took a step back from the process of observation and acknowledged the fact that the observer was not a neutral presence but a social actor in his own right.
		Bourdieu sharply disagreed with the position adopted by Sartre and Frantz Fanon with regard to post-independence Algeria, in particular their analysis of the revolutionary role that could be played by the peasantry and 'sub-proletariat'.
		Bourdieu's use of the concept of the habitus as the mechanism which mediates human interaction with nature and society allows for the engagement of individuals in struggle but this engagement tends only to reproduce the constraints they are pitted against.

		With Bourdieu the "social" achieves an ontological status, and thus replaces the old philosophical notions of a transcendental reality to be grasped through the senses and reason.
		This emphasis on the body and its daily practices turned him away from what was to be labeled as "the linguistic turn," or a Foucauldian type of discursive analysis, or Habermas's notion of "communicative action," all of which, he argued, fell into the traps of the old continental philosophical traditions of language, truth, and reason.
		The French educational system was perceived, through the lens of Bourdieu's critical analysis, as one that reproduces all social differences, and the latter are symbolically reproduced at every stage of the process, from the family, the school, up to higher education and the firm.

	Harvard University Press: Language and Symbolic Power by Pierre Bourdieu
		Bourdieu develops a forceful critique of traditional approaches to language, including the linguistic theories of Saussure and Chomsky and the theory of speech-acts elaborated by Austin and others.
		Bourdieu maintains that linguistic utterances or expressions can be understood as the product of the relation between a linguistic market" and it "linguistic habitus." When individuals use language in particular ways, they deploy their accumulated linguistic resources and implicitly adapt their words to the demands of the social held or market that is their audience.
		Bourdieu's account sheds fresh light on the ways in which linguistic usage varies according to considerations such as class and gender.

	Distinction - Pierre Bourdieu
		Furthermore, it also advances Bourdieu's general theory of society and social agents, a theoretical project which is also undertaken in Outline of a Theory of Practice and The Logic of Practice.
		Part of Bourdieu's aim is to undermine the aesthetic theory of Immanuel Kant, which continues to dominate philosophical aesthetics (crudely, the theory of what is beatiful).
		Bourdieu argues that Kant's criterion of the distinterestedness of the aesthetic gaze is an essentially middle class phenomenon.

		Bourdieu held the chair of sociology at the Collge de France, the highest instance of independent French research, where he had been teaching since 1982.
		Bourdieu's early work dealt with a type of ethnological research that explicitly restored dialogue and category sharing with French structuralist philosophy, thereby countering the work of Claude Lvi-Strauss' scientific ethnology.
		Bourdieu is not known as well as Chomsky, possibly because he always refused to take positions on issues outside his area of expertise, which mainly has to do with issues of education, culture and power in France.

	Value and Capital in Bourdieu and Marx
		The strange effect of the term "cultural capital" among practitioners of cultural theory is largely a matter of its apparent capacity to bridge the constitutive divide between the humanities and the social sciences: at a stroke it seems to reintegrate economics with the study of culture.
		Bourdieu's innovation is to reintroduce use value through the concept of cultural capital into the discourses of both aesthetics and economics, unsettling and potentially "debasing" each.
		Bourdieu describes the way modernization processes entail the abstraction of strictly economic logic from the realm of symbolic capital to constitute a separate, economic field.

	Deichtorhallen Hamburg: pierre bourdieu
		The exhibition shows some very impressive photographs of the old and new societies of the Near and Middle East which were intentionally taken for scientific and not for journalistic purposes along with hitherto, little-known examples from the heyday of journalistic reportage photography before the rise of television into the foremost medium.
		Spurred on by Pierre Bourdieu’s photos, the first, comprehensive representation of the role that photography played in that merciless conflict gave rise to the second part of the exhibition which is curated by Robert Fleck (Director of the Deichtorhallen) and Ingo Taubhorn (Curator of the House of Photography).
		Pierre Bourdieu: The Algerian War and Photography“ is part of the consortium project Art and Democracy“ which was planned since October, 2002 in which the Haus der Kunst, Munich and the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, and the House of Photography in the Hamburg Deichtorhallen are the participating partners (all exhibitions run until September 3, 2006).

	Norman Madarsz: Pierre Bourdieu and ATTAC
		A risky proposal for any intellectual, Bourdieu was applauded throughout by those who sparked the flame leading to the resignation of prime-minister Alain Juppé, a leading French advocate of the neo-liberal shift that swept the wealthy G7 countries and beyond in the 1990s.
		Bourdieu went on to rally a political stream he called the "gauche de la gauche", the left of the left.
		Bourdieu's numerous analyses of the deciding bodies of the G7 economies trace a deliberately applied policy of conservative social and economic channeling at the highest level.

	Al-Ahram Weekly \| Culture \| Bourdieu and Algeria: an elective affinity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Arriving in Algiers in 1958 fresh from philosophical studies in Paris, Bourdieu was confronted at first hand by the reality of the "pacification" being carried out by the French authorities in Algeria, at that time still a part of France.
		However, less well-known is the fact that Bourdieu also took hundreds of photographs of Algeria at this turning- point in its history, a few years before the country's independence from France in 1962, and a selection of these forms the Paris show and accompanying catalogue, published by Actes Sud.
		As Bourdieu wrote in Le Déracinement, economic change meant that "there is no longer any such thing as 'dishonour', no longer a fear of abandoning the land or selling it to strangers, no longer a feeling of shame at abandoning a father or a mother in poverty.

	Pierre Bourdieu, 1930-2002
		Bourdieu himself argued that scholars and writers could and should bring their specialized knowledge to bear responsibly and seriously on social and political issues, something he suspected couldn't be done on a talk show.
		Bourdieu, who loved intellectual combat, called himself "to the left of the left"--that is, to the left of the ossified French left-wing parties and also to the left of the academic postmodernists aka antifoundationalists, about whose indifference to empirical work he was scathing.
		Perhaps it is not irrelevant that Bourdieu made academia and intellectuals a major subject of withering critique: You can't read him and believe, for example, that professors (or "public intellectuals," or writers, or artists) stand outside the class system in some sort of unmediated relation to society and truth.

	Pierre Bourdieu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bourdieu's work builds upon theories of philosophers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Edmund Husserl, Georges Canguilhem and Gaston Bachelard, and the sociology of Max Weber, Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Norbert Elias, among others.
		Bourdieu re-elaborated the concept of habitus from Marcel Mauss--although it is also present in the works of Aristotle, Norbert Elias, Max Weber, and Edmund Husserl--and used it, in a more or less systematic way, in an attempt to resolve a prominent antinomy of the human sciences: objectivism and subjectivism.
		Therefore, Bourdieu attempts to use the concepts of habitus and field to tear down the division between the subjective and the objective.

		Bourdieu’s theory is that social action is its structure, which is interchangeable.
		According to Bourdieu, “on the individual level, habitus means the system of attitudes and dispositions which are relatively permanent and transferred from one object to another, which simultaneously both integrates all the previous experiences of an individual’s ways to see and value things and act” (Philosophical Perspectives...)

		The final section captures Bourdieu in action in the seminar room as he addresses the topic of how to practice the craft of reflexive sociology.
		Throughout, they stress Bourdieu's emphasis on reflexivity—his inclusion of a theory of intellectual practice as an integral component of a theory of society—and on method—particularly his manner of posing problems that permits a transfer of knowledge from one area of inquiry into another.

		Pierre Bourdieu is one of the world's most important social theorists and is also one of the great empirical researchers in contemporary sociology.
		However, reading Bourdieu can be difficult for those not familiar with the French cultural context, and until now a comprehensive introduction to Bourdieu's oeuvre has not been available.
		David Swartz focuses on a central theme in Bourdieu's work--the complex relationship between culture and power--and explains that sociology for Bourdieu is a mode of political intervention.

	Calhoun, Craig: Bourdieu (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		A major figure in the development of "practice" as an organizing concept in social research, Bourdieu has emerged as the foremost advocate of reflexive social science; his work combines an astonishing range of empirical work with highly sophisticated theory.
		They work around three main themes: Bourdieu's effort to transcend gaps between practical knowledge and universal structures, his central concept of "reflexivity," and the relations between social structure, systems of classification, and language.
		Ultimately, the contributors raise a variety of crucial theoretical questions and address problems that are important not only to understanding Bourdieu but to advancing empirical work of the kind he has pioneered.

		Richard Jenkins places Pierre Bourdieu's sociological thought in its context of French intellectual life since the 1950s and presents a critique which acknowledges Bourdieu's massive achievement while at the same time recognises the shortcomings and problems of his work.
		Jenkins covers all the main substantive areas about which Bourdieu has written - culture, education, social stratification, language and the ethnography of the Algerian peasantry - but the main emphasis is upon his contributions to theory, methodology and epistemology.
		Where Bourdieu's writings are complex and ambiguous, Jenkins is direct, concise and to the point.
