Bourdieu: Key Thinkers at the University of Sydney

PIERRE BOURDIEU AND FEMINISM - Dr Kate Huppatz, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Faculty of Education and Social Work
Pierre Bourdieu was the preeminent French intellectual of the late 20th century. His social theory, particularly his cultural approach to class and unique understanding of social practice, has been highly influential in the disciplines of sociology, anthropology and philosophy. His best known work, Distinction: A social critique of the judgment of taste (1984), uses ethnographic evidence to link consumption practices to social class. This presentation outlines Bourdieus research interests and key conceptual tools. Moreover, it looks at how Bourdieu has recently been appropriated by significant feminist scholars despite being widely critiqued for his limited engagement with womens issues and gender.
