Sociologie générale, volume 1. Cours au Collège de France, 1981-1983

by Pierre Bourdieu

Sociologie générale 1 Ce volume rassemble les deux premières années sur les cinq que Pierre Bourdieu consacra au cours de « sociologie générale » par lequel il inaugura son enseignement au Collège de France. Prononcées dans une institution au sein de laquelle la place de la sociologie était encore largement à faire, ces leçons exposent d’une manière particulièrement claire et méthodique les concepts fondamentaux qu’il a développés et les différentes traditions, en philosophie et en sciences sociales, avec ou contre lesquelles il les a forgés. En raison de l’objectif affiché, ce cours peut être lu comme une présentation systématique de la théorie qu’il a élaborée, doublée d’une reconstruction inédite de sa genèse. Si Bourdieu a continué d’approfondir et de complexifier ses analyses au fil de son œuvre, l’entreprise menée ici est restée sans équivalent et représente sans doute la meilleure introduction jamais donnée à son travail. Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) Professeur de sociologie au Collège de France, il a écrit de nombreux ouvrages qui ont une influence majeure dans les sciences sociales aujourd’hui.

About the author

Bourdieu pioneered investigative frameworks and terminologies such as cultural, social, and symbolic capital, and the concepts of habitus, field or location, and symbolic violence to reveal the dynamics of power relations in social life. His work emphasized the role of practice and embodiment or forms in social dynamics and worldview construction, often in opposition to universalized Western philosophical traditions. He built upon the theories of Ludwig Wittgenstein, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Edmund Husserl, Georges Canguilhem, Karl Marx, Gaston Bachelard, Max Weber, Émile Durkheim, Erwin Panofsky, and Marcel Mauss. A notable influence on Bourdieu was Blaise Pascal, after whom Bourdieu titled his Pascalian Meditations.

Bourdieu rejected the idea of the intellectual "prophet", or the "total intellectual", as embodied by Sartre. His best known book is Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgment of Taste, in which he argues that judgments of taste are related to social position. His argument is put forward by an original combination of social theory and data from surveys, photographs and interviews, in an attempt to reconcile difficulties such as how to understand the subject within objective structures. In the process, he tried to reconcile the influences of both external social structures and subjective experience on the individual (see structure and agency).

Reviews

[Felipe Feitosa Castro · Rating 5 out of 5]

Primeiro volume do compilado de aulas e palestras que Bourdieu proferiu ao longo de seus anos de cátedra no Collège de France, a obra serve muito bem para introduzir o método do sociólogo e lidar com confusões - tendo em vista a praticidade pedagógica e o grande arsenal de referências literárias que o francês dispõe para explicar seu pensamento através de comparações.

Recomendo a qualquer um/a que se interesse pelo pensador!

Ders notlarından derlenmesi konuyu dağıttığı gibi daha sohbet vari bir düzlem sağlıyor ve bence hoş da kılıyor. Üniversite dönemlerine özlem duymamak elde değil.:)
Kitap çok geniş perspektifi sahip. Kendi oluşturduğu habitus, alan kavramlarını ifade ettiği, düşünce yapılarının nasıl ortaya çıktığını, Oyun teorileri, Hegel ve Kant ın diyalektiği, Freud un arzu ilkesi, kartezyen Felsefesi.. - Aslında üniversitedeki entelektüel seviye hakkında da fikir veriyor - sosyolojik kavramların yoğun olduğu bir kitap diyebilirim.
