Yet, despite the influence of his work, no single introduction to his wide-ranging <i>oeuvre</i> is available. This book, intended for an English-speaking audience, offers a systematic and accessible overview, providing interpretive keys to the internal logic of Bourdieu's work by explicating thematic and methodological principles underlying his work. <br><br>The structure of Bourdieu's theory of knowledge, practice, and society is first dissected by Loic Wacquant; he then collaborates with Bourdieu in a dialogue in which they discuss central concepts of Bourdieu's work, confront the main objections and criticisms his work has met, and outline Bourdieu's views of the relation of sociology to philosophy, economics, history, and politics. The final section captures Bourdieu in action in the seminar room as he addresses the topic of how to practice the craft of reflexive sociology. Throughout, they stress Bourdieu's emphasis on reflexivity&#8212;his inclusion of a theory of intellectual practice as an integral component of a theory of society&#8212;and on method&#8212;particularly his manner of posing problems that permits a transfer of knowledge from one area of inquiry into another. <br><br>Amplified by notes and an extensive bibliography, this synthetic view is essential reading for both students and advanced scholars. <br></div> 289028 15 7 1992 An Invitation to Reflexive Sociology total:32|5:5|4:17|3:6|2:4|1:0| 32 119 49 0 870538
