Présentation de l'éditeur
Bourdieu and Literature is a
wide-ranging, rigorous and accessible introduction to the relationship
between Pierre Bourdieu's work and literary studies. It provides a
comprehensive overview and critical assessment of his contributions to
literary theory and his thinking about authors and literary works.
One of the foremost French intellectuals of the post-war era, Bourdieu
has become a standard point of reference in the fields of anthropology,
linguistics, art history, cultural studies, politics, and sociology, but
his longstanding interest in literature has often been overlooked. This
study explores the impact of literature on Bourdieu's intellectual
itinerary, and how his literary understanding intersected with his
sociological theory and thinking about cultural policy.
This is the first full-length study of Bourdieu's work on literature in
English, and it provides an invaluable resource for students and
scholars of literary studies, cultural theory and sociology.
