Description
Pierre Bourdieu's sociological works span a wide range of subjects, from education and culture to philosophy and politics. This comprehensive collection presents a critical engagement with his theory as a whole. Conversations with Bourdieu brings together imaginary discussions between Bourdieu and key figures in Marxist thought, including Marx, Gramsci, Fanon, Freire, de Beauvoir, and Mills. Michael Burawoy constructs these conversations to challenge Bourdieu's ideas while developing a critique of Marxism. Karl Von Holdt then applies these discussions to South Africa, exploring pressing social and political issues such as the relationship between symbolic and real violence, the role of intellectuals in public life, and the impact of gender on politics. By using Bourdieu's work to examine contemporary South African challenges, this book offers a unique perspective on the country's most significant problems.
