About this product
Product Information
In Symbolic Violence Michael Burawoy brings Pierre Bourdieu into an extended debate with Marxism--a tradition Bourdieu ostensibly avoided. While Bourdieu's expansive body of work stands as a critique of Marx's inadequate account of cultural domination, Burawoy shows how Bourdieu's eschewal and rejection of Marxism led him to miss out on a number of productive theoretical engagements. In eleven "conversations," Burawoy outlines the intellectual and biographical parallels and divergences between Bourdieu and the work of preeminent Marxist thinkers. Among many topics, Burawoy examines Bourdieu's appropriation and silencing of Beauvoir and her theory of masculine domination; the commonalities as well as differences in Bourdieu's and Fanon's thought on colonialism and revolution; the extent to which Gramsci's theory of hegemony aligns with Bourdieu's notion of symbolic violence; and both how Freire and Bourdieu understood education as the site of oppression. In showing how Bourdieu has more in common with these thinkers than Bourdieu himself cared to admit, Burawoy offers a critical assessment of Bourdieu's work that illuminates its paradoxes and reaffirms its significance for the twenty-first century.

Reviews
The chapters are testimony of how Burawoy as a Gramscian Marxist comes to grips with Bourdieu's work. The text gives insight into how Burawoy twists and turns, first as a dismissive critic, then a captive, and finally as a seasoned admirer if sharp critic of Bourdieu. It will appeal to those interested in the relationship between Marxism (particularly Gramscian) and Bourdieusian sociology., Readers are left with an important work that illuminates the space between valid and applicable theories, how that space can be navigated, and whether it is necessary or advisable to do so., Michael Burawoy sets up an illuminating series of conversations between Bourdieu and some of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century (including Karl Marx, Antonio Gramsci, Frantz Fanon, Paulo Freire, Simone de Beauvoir, and C. Wright Mills) that seek to 'bring to life some of the combatants that Bourdieu has repressed.' Through these conversations Burawoy makes an intriguing case for Bourdieu as a revitalizing force for twenty-first-century Marxism., The recently published book on the Bourdieusian notion of 'symbolic violence' sets the late sociologist on a critical meeting board with his posteriors to discuss the multifaceted significations, limitations, and overtime evolution of this concept.... We highly recommend this book to students and researchers who seek to explore the works and ideas of this contemporary sociologist., Offering systematic comparisons between Bourdieu and several leading thinkers, Symbolic Violence represents first-rate scholarship from a seasoned thinker and will be of interest to all those who read Bourdieu., Symbolic Violence is a rich and enlightening Marxist critique of Bourdieu's sociology, which highlights both the latter's profound insights and its shortcomings. The 'conversations' between Bourdieu, Marx, Gramsci et al. illuminate the limits of Bourdieu's theory, but also its lessons for Marxists.

Great seller with great communication! Item arrived complete, as described and for a good price.

Arrived when expected.
