Abstract

Postcolonial studies has taken a significant turn since 2000 from the post-structural focus on language and identity of the 1980s and 1990s to more materialist and sociological approaches. A key theorist in inspiring this innovative new scholarship has been Pierre Bourdieu. Bourdieu and Postcolonial Studies shows the emergence of this strand of postcolonialism through collecting texts that pioneered this approach-by Graham Huggan, Chris Bongie, and Sarah Brouillette-as well as emerging scholarship that follows the path these critics have established. This Bourdieu-inspired work examines the institutions that structure the creation, dissemination, and reception of world literature; the foundational values of the field and its sometimes ambivalent relationship to the popular; and the ways concepts like habitus, cultural capital, consecration and anamnesis can be deployed in reading postcolonial texts. Topics include explorations of the institutions of the field such as the B.B.C.'s Caribbean voices program and the South African publishing industry; analysis of Bourdieu's fieldwork in Algeria during the decolonization era; and comparisons between Bourdieu's work and alternative versions of literary sociology such as Pascale Casanova's and Franco Moretti's. The sociological approach to literature developed in the collected essays shows how, even if the commodification of postcolonialism threatens to neutralize the field's potential for resistance and opposition, a renewed project of postcolonial critique can be built in the contaminated spaces of globalization.

Abstract

Wie lässt sich der Bildungsroman als Gattung fassen, ohne entweder seine Entstehung oder seine vielfältigen Wandlungen zu marginalisieren? Im vorliegenden Band können die in der Gattung verhandelten Relationen von Individuum, Gesellschaft, Bildung und Kunst bzw. Literatur mit einem feldtheoretisch modellierten Gattungsverständnis sowohl diachron als auch synchron verortet und analysiert werden. Gattungsgenese und -wandel werden dabei nicht einsträngig-linear entwickelt, sondern durch neun exemplarische Aufsätze spezifisch perspektiviert. Dabei werden die beteiligten Akteure und die der Gattung jeweils zugesprochene Wertigkeit systematisch verbunden, indem Publikation und Rezeption als strategische Positionierungen verstanden werden. Die Bildungsromane des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts lassen sich dabei im gleichen Maße als aktiver Anschluss an eine Traditionslinie verstehen, wie sie auch Verschiebungen deutlich sichtbar machen.Der Band ist für all diejenigen von Interesse, die sich für einen neuen sozialgeschichtlich-hermeneutischen Zugang zur Gattung des Bildungsroman interessieren und kanonische sowie bisher weniger bekannte Werke im Gattungszusammenhang kennenlernen wollen.

Abstract

The Anthem Companion to Pierre Bourdieu provides an introduction to the French sociologist's thought and an evaluation of the international significance of his work from a range of national perspectives. This volume assesses Bourdieu's work as a product of his social situation in France and, more importantly, in relation to his experience as French Algeria gained its independence. The companion then proceeds to ask how the concepts he developed can legitimately be applied to other situations.

Abstract

Steven Threadgold's study represents the first comprehensive engagement of Pierre Bourdieu's influential sociology with affect theory. With empirical research and examples from sociology, it develops a theory of 'Affective Affinities,' deepening our understanding of how everyday moments contribute to the construction and remaking of social class and aspects of inequalities. It identifies new ways to consider the strengths and weaknesses of Bourdieusian principles and their interaction with new developments in social theory. This is a stimulating read for students, researchers and academics across studies in youth, education, labour markets, pop culture, media, consumption and taste.

Abstract

Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) is the most influential sociologist of our time. His works take in education, culture, sport, literature, painting, class, philosophy, religion, law, media, intellectuals, methodology, photography, universities, colonialism, kinship, schooling and politics. Not much remains outside Bourdieu's sociological eye. His works are widely read across disciplines and he was one of the most prominent public intellectuals in France. Conversations with Bourdieu presents the first comprehensive attempt at a critical engagement with Bourdieu's theory as a totality. Michael Burawoy constructs a series of imaginary conversations between Bourdieu and his nemesis - Marxism - from which he silently borrowed so much. Starting with Marx, and proceeding through Gramsci, Fanon, Freire, de Beauvoir, and Mills, Burawoy takes up the challenge Bourdieu presents to Marxism, simultaneously developing a critique of Bourdieu and a reconstruction of Marxism. Karl Von Holdt, in turn, brings these conversations to South Africa, showing the relevance of Bourdieu's ideas to a country he never visited. Armed with Bourdieu, Von Holdt takes up some of the most pressing social and political issues of contemporary South Africa: the relation between symbolic and real violence, the place of intellectuals in public life, the intervention of gender in politics, the grappling with race, the critique of education, the importance of habitus, the history and future of class mobilisation, and the legacy of the liberation struggle. Conversations with Bourdieu pioneers a distinctive approach to doing social theory that is neither a combat sport nor an artificial synthesis, but a way of pushing theory to its limits through dialogue - dialogue between theorists and dialogue between theory and the world it represents. The book is distinctive too in pointing towards a new global sociology consciously rooted in a dialogue between the social realities and theoretical perspectives of North and South. The conversations were first presented as Mellon Lectures at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg in 2010

Abstract

En los últimos años ha surgido en antropología una nueva rama que investiga las relaciones entre las marcas-productos y los sujetos en cuanto consumidores. Sin embargo, no existen registros teóricos o bibliográficos que aborden el quehacer antropológico en este ámbito. Esta obra recoge el análisis y las percepciones de los actores que participan en esta nueva rama, mostrando que existen tensiones y conflictos generados a partir de la ilegitimidad que supone esta actividad en el ámbito de la antropología general. El objetivo principal es exponer las principales características de la actividad antropológica en la etapa comercial, mostrando las problemáticas más graves que se plantean en este campo.
