aeo Pierre Bourdieu is one of the most influential social thinkers of the late twentieth century. aeo This book provides an excellent and in--depth introduction to his work and to the principles and assumptions which underlie it.

Much orthodox economic theory is based on assumptions which are treated as self--evident: supply and demand are regarded as independent entities, the individual is assumed to be a rational agent who knows his interests and how to make decisions corresponding to them, and so on.

In his most explicitly political work to date, Pierre Bourdieu speaks out against the new myths of our time -- especially those associated with neo--liberalism -- and offers a passionate defence of the public interest.

What Is a People? seeks to reclaim "e;people"e; as an effective political concept by revisiting its uses and abuses over time. Alain Badiou surveys the idea of a people as a productive force of solidarity and emancipation and as a negative tool of categorization and suppression. Pierre Bourdieu follows with a sociolinguistic analysis of "e;popular"e; and its transformation of democracy, beliefs, songs, and even soups into phenomena with outsized importance. Judith Butler calls out those who use freedom of assembly to create an exclusionary "e;we,"e; while Georges Didi-Huberman addresses the problem of summing up a people with totalizing narratives. Sadri Khiari applies an activist's perspective to the racial hierarchies inherent in ethnic and national categories, and Jacques Ranciere comments on the futility of isolating theories of populism when, as these thinkers have shown, the idea of a "e;people"e; is too diffuse to support them. By engaging this topic linguistically, ethnically, culturally, and ontologically, the voices in this volume help separate "e;people"e; from its fraught associations to pursue more vital formulations.Together with Democracy in What State?, in which Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou, Daniel Bensaid, Wendy Brown, Jean-Luc Nancy, Jacques Ranciere, Kristin Ross, and Slavoj iek discuss the nature and purpose of democracy today, What Is a People? expands an essential exploration of political action and being in our time.

Do social classes really exist? Is disinterested action really possible? What do the family, the church, and the intellectual world have in common? Can morality be founded on hypocrisy? One of France's foremost social thinkers responds to these major questions and others.

I denne klassiker, der udkom første gang i 1972, præsenterer Bourdieu for første gang sin teori om menneskelig adfærd og handlen i et socialt rum. Bourdieu tager udgangspunkt i feltstudier af slægtskabsforhold, æresbegreber, magt- og interessespil blandt kabylerne i det nordlige Afrika. Han viser, hvordan de enkelte agerende i vidt omfang indkorporerer og reproducerer de komplekse sociale strukturer og koder, de er rundet af. I kabylernes stærkt ritualiserede hverdagsliv handler den enkelte ud fra et erhvervet sæt af skemaer, præferencer og principper for, hvordan verden skal anskues og opdeles. Og meget ofte er den enkeltes praksis ikke i samsvar med de normer han eller hun prætenderer at følge eller de repræsentationer de selv giver af deres egen praksis. Bourdieu forstod sin egen teori som et alternativ til både eksistentialismens og rational choice-teoriernes ekstreme ”subjektivisme” og de mere rigide former for strukturalistisk ”objektivisme”, der ikke levner noget råderum for det handlende og vælgende subjekt. Hans tilgang, der understreger de sociale strukturers betydning for menneskelig interaktion, men også den enkeltes mulighed for at handle, er en antropologisk klassiker og vinder i disse år stadig mere terræn inden for hele det samfundsvidenskabelige felt.
