Description
Beyond Bourdieu by Will Atkinson Pierre Bourdieu's sociological legacy continues to shape our understanding of society. However, his theories now face new challenges as the world becomes increasingly globalised. This book tackles these challenges head-on, exploring how to conceive the relationship between society and place, and how individuals are shaped by multiple forces. Atkinson draws on Bourdieu's philosophical core and across his corpus to propose novel concepts and arguments. He outlines a new way of looking at the world, focusing on the multiple social structures that shape everyday life, rather than the individual within those structures. By examining these complex relationships, Atkinson offers a fresh perspective on how we come to be who we are. This book is an essential read for anyone interested in sociology and seeking to deepen their understanding of Bourdieu's ideas.
