The French social philosopher Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) is now recognised as one of the major thinkers of the twentieth century. In a career of over fifty years, Bourdieu studied a wide range of topics: education, culture, art, politics, economics, literature, law, and philosophy. Throughout these studies, Bourdieu developed a highly specialised series of concepts that he referred to as his 'thinking tools', which were used to uncover the workings of contemporary society. Pierre Bourdieu: Key Concepts takes a selection of his most important concepts and examines them in detail. Each chapter deals with an individual concept and are written so as to be of immediate use to the student with little or no previous knowledge of Bourdieu. At the same time, each chapter also develops various dimensions around each concept to make the coverage of interest to the more experienced reader.

In this, a unique history of the America's postwar intellectual, David Paul Haney outlines the development of sociology as a discipline and why, given its focus of study, it failed to develop into a force in the intellectual currents of the United States. Arguing that sociologists attempted to develop both a science and an instrument for the spread of humanistic concern about society, Haney shows how both attempts failed to connect sociology with larger questions of policy and social progress.

La société et l'utopie L'auteur revisite dans une autobiographie lucide et pénétrante quelques lieux géographiques ou mentaux de ses itinéraires de vie et de travail, un parcours qui en a fuit à la tais l'auguste père et l'enfant terrible de la sociologie italienne contemporaine. Dans les années de la Résistance et de l'après-guerre, jeune intellectuel débarquant à Turin, Ferrarotti rencontre l'entourage de la maison d'éditions Einaudi et, adoubé dans le feu de l'action par Cesare Pavese, devient le traducteur et l'interprète de la culture idéologique américaine tandis qu'il essuie les traits fulminants que lui lance Benedetto Croce. Survient alors une rencontre décisive avec la personnalité explosive d'Adriano Olivetti qui donnera naissance au laboratoire expérimental d'Ivrée: un système où usine et services sociaux, ville et territoire sont intégrés de façon à illustrer la puissance d'accomplissement de l'utopie. Lorsque le rêve d'Ivrée se brise, au début des années 1960, c'est la Rome des banlieues, avec son humanité marginale, qui deviendra le cadre de sa réflexion.
