Description

Pierre Bourdieu's second volume of previously unpublished lectures explores the concept of a 'symbolic revolution' through the lens of Édouard Manet. This major work examines how artistic movements, such as impressionism, challenge and transform the cultural landscape. Bourdieu's analysis of Manet's paintings reveals the ways in which they subvert traditional notions of art and aesthetics, paving the way for a new vision of the world that still shapes our perceptions today. As the Academy faced crisis and the role of the state in defining artistic value was redefined, Manet's break with convention had far-reaching consequences. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of sociology, art history, and the social sciences, as well as those interested in art and impressionism.
