Overview

In Bourdieu in Question: New Directions in French Sociology of Art, Jeffrey A. Halley and Daglind E. Sonolet offer to English-speaking audiences an account of the very lively Francophone debates over Pierre Bourdieu’s work in the domain of the arts and culture, and present other directions and perspectives taken by major French researchers who extend or differ from his point of view, and who were marginalized by the Bourdieusian moment. Three generations of research are presented: contemporaries of Bourdieu, the next generation, and recent research. Themes include the art market and value, cultural politics, the reception of artworks, theory and the concept of the artwork, autonomy in art, ethnography and culture, and the critique of Bourdieu on literature. Contributors are: Howard S. Becker, Martine Burgos, Marie Buscatto, Jean-Louis Fabiani, Laurent Fleury, Florent Gaudez, Jeffrey A. Halley, Nathalie Heinich, Yvon Lamy, Jacques Leenhardt, Cécile Léonardi, Clara Lévy, Pierre-Michel Menger, Raymonde Moulin, Jean-Claude Passeron, Emmanuel Pedler, Bruno Péquignot, Alain Quemin, Cherry Schrecker, Daglind E. Sonolet.

Reviews

[...] the importance of the book. It is a contribution to the sociological literature on Bourdieu, the sociology of art, as well as French studies generally. It also fills a translation gap in bringing a large number of works to the Anglophone reader. Its strength lies in its attention to theoretical as well as empirical work, as well as its avoidance of intellectual partisanship by exposing the reader to a range of perspectives on Bourdieu's sociology of art, some positive, others unfavorable. -- Marnia Lazreg, in Sociological Forum, Vol. 34, No. 1 (04 March 2019) >br/> [...] ein in Sammelbanden eher seltenes Kunststuck: die einzelnen Beitrage beziehen sich aufeinander und reflektieren einander. Dadurch werden beim Lesen viele Verknupfungen hergestellt und man verfallt leicht in einen Lesefluss. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt ist auch die Autor*innenauswahl: Im Band vertreten sind viele im franzoesischsprachigen Raum renommierte Autor*innen, wie unter anderem Raymonde Moulin, Jean-Claude Passeron, Jean-Louis Fabiani, Pierre-Michel Menger, Emanuel Pedler und Marie Buscatto, die nun auch nicht-franzoesisch sprechende Leser*innen kennen lernen durfen. [...] Nicht zuletzt besticht der Sammelband durch die Vielfalt seiner Themen. [...] Auch die Vielschichtigkeit des Bandes ist besonders hervorzuheben.So werden etwa in einer historisch-soziologischen Darstellung die Entwicklungslinien Bourdieus nachgezeichnet, weniger prominenten/unbekannteren Positionen Bourdieus wird Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt und auch vereinzelte missing links in seinen Theorien aufgezeigt. -- Tamara Schwertel, Soziologie Blog, 23 July 2018


Based on a series of conferences, working groups, and translations of classic French texts on the matter until now unavailable to the English-speaking reader, the book sheds light on the context of origin of some of Bourdieu's most important contributions to the sociology of the arts and culture-its legacy, its aporias, and its debates with contemporaries, disciples and dissenters alike. [...] The volume should be of interest not only to those working in the sociology of arts and literature, but also to those who wish to read about new currents in the French sociology of culture and French social theory at large. -- Claudio E. Benzecry, Northwestern University, in: Contemporary Sociology 48/6 (2019) [...] the importance of the book.
