However, reading Bourdieu can be difficult for those not familiar with the French cultural context, and until now a comprehensive introduction to Bourdieu's oeuvre has not been available. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e David Swartz focuses on a central theme in Bourdieu's work-the complex relationship between culture and power-and explains that sociology for Bourdieu is a mode of political intervention. Swartz clarifies Bourdieu's difficult concepts, noting where they have been misinterpreted by critics and where they have fallen short in resolving important analytical issues. The book also shows how Bourdieu has synthesized his theory of practices and symbolic power from Durkheim, Marx, and Weber, and how his work was influenced by Sartre, Levi-Strauss, and Althusser. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eCulture and Power\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to offer both a sympathetic and critical examination of Bourdieu's work and it will be invaluable to social scientists as well as to a broader audience in the humanities.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 342\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 9.02 x 6.04 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 28, 1998\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42063291154512,"sku":"9780226785950","price":65.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/9540\/0016\/files\/ZHQvdVE2OVBDWFQyRFhxeStabm4wQT09.webp?v=1771862421","url":"https:\/\/palm-malen-gift-shop-pmrc.myshopify.com\/products\/culture-and-power-the-sociology-of-pierre-bourdieu-paperback","provider":"Palm Malen Gift Shop -PMRC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
