Rede und Antwort

In this volume, Pierre Bourdieu provides insights into his work through detailed conversations with colleagues, lectures, and debates with specialists from various fields (ethnologists, economists, sociologists) on a wide range of topics: art, religion, literature, and more. He clarifies certain aspects of his work, illuminates the philosophical foundations of his investigations, describes his specific research logic, and discusses or refutes objections raised against his theses. The liveliness of Pierre Bourdieu's spoken word allows for the tracing of the "gradual formation of thoughts while speaking." By applying the method of analyzing cultural products to himself, this book offers the opportunity for both an objective and comprehensive understanding of his work.
