Pierre Bourdieu

Produktbeschreibung

Pierre Bourdieüs ideas have had a major impact on a number of fields of inquiry. As scholars of media and communication begin to think more frequently and more carefully with Bourdieüs ideas, this book offers a wealth of points of contact between Bourdieüs ideas and research topics concerning media and communication. This book addresses how Bourdieüs ideas can be used to raise questions concerning: media production, media audiences, symbolic authority, and the history of communication study. The result is a compact but comprehensive volume that gives the reader a sense of the scope and relevance of Bourdieüs ideas to a wide range of domains of study in communication research.

Kritik

®A compelling and comprehensive account that will surely be a touchstone for future conversations about Bourdieu and media studies.¯ (Rodney Benson, Associate Professor of Media Studies and Sociology, New York University)
®This short but incisive book provides media scholars and students with a grounding in Bourdieu's work ... Neither overstating his scope nor idealizing Bourdieu, this careful account offers a measured and therefore a valuable introduction and explication of key concepts that deserve to be part of any respectable communication scholar's intellectual toolbox.¯ (Larry Gross, University of Southern California)
®This is a terrific book! I thought it was beyond any one scholar to unravel the many threads of Pierre Bourdieu's philosophically and empirically rich work and then put them together again in a synoptic account of what Bourdieu's many insights can contribute to media and communications research in the round. But David W. Park has pulled off this remarkable feat - with great elegance and considerable scholarship. The whole field should be grateful for him!¯ (Nick Couldry, Professor of Media, Communications and Social Theory, LSE)
