Description
Book SynopsisThe Field of Cultural Production brings together Bourdieua s most important writings on art, literature and aesthetics.
Trade Review'As we have come to expect of him, Pierre Bourdieu's lucid analysis of the field of cultural production once again provides us with key terms for understanding the issues at the forefront of current critical debate. His accounts of the economy of symbolic capital, and of cultural power relations will undoubtedly become classic formulations, shaping future work on the sociology of culture.'
