PIERRE BOURDIEU AND THE PERILS OF ALLODOXIA : NATIONALISM,GLOBALISM AND THE GEOPOLITICS OF INTELLECTUAL EXCHANGE

Working outward from the issues raised by Bourdieu in his essay ‘Passport to Duke’, the tension is explored between, on the one hand, the participation of intellectuals in a putatively public sphere of mutually respectful, transnational exchange and, on the other hand, the pull of those territorialized, nationalistic contexts in which intellectuals find themselves compelled to give concrete articulation to their professional desires for autonomy and solidarity. In the process, the paper touches on some of the ways in which Bourdieu's work - and Bourdieu's legacy - can help us cope more effectively with the confusions of a period in which, in an often overwhelming fashion, we are confronted with cultural challenges that arise out of the asymmetrical relations that inform the global interactions of nation-states. Crucial to my argument is Bourdieu's tendency, at various points in his final years, to speak of allodoxia where he might previously have spoken of misrecognition. By thus shifting attention toward the categorical mistakes that arise in the course of the movement from one national field to another - from one territorially-bounded framework of opinion and custom to another - Bourdieu, it is argued, elevates the problematic of misrecognition to a global level.     

Comparing Conceptualizations of Social Capital

Social work is ideally suited to use social capital to understand societal ills and to conduct a more holistic exploration of power, privilege, and oppression that affects marginalized individuals and groups. To that end, we review how prominent theorists discuss social capital and offer guidance for community practitioners based on these conceptualizations. In opposition to purely micro-level theories of human behavior in the social environment that inadvertently separate micro and macro-level social work, social capital is particularly well suited to be employed at individual, family, community, and societal levels. Our position on the importance of social capital for social work practice is in congruence with social work perspective on the person-in-environment. Although we do not offer a social capital framework for community practice, we hope that our article informs community practitioners' understanding of the place and importance of social capital for communities.     

The Social as Heaven and Hell: Pierre Bourdieu's Philosophical Anthropology

Many authors have argued that all studies of socially specific modalities of human action and experience depend on some form of “philosophical anthropology”, i.e. on a set of general assumptions about what human beings are like, assumptions without which the very diagnoses of the cultural and historical variability of concrete agents' practices would become impossible. Bourdieu was sensitive to that argument and, especially in the later phase of his career, attempted to make explicit how his historical‐sociological investigations presupposed and, at the same time, contributed to the elaboration of an “idea of the human being”. The article reconstructs Bourdieu's philosophical anthropology, starting with his genetic sociology of symbolic power, conceived as a form of critical theory (latu sensu), and concluding with an account of the conditio humana in which recognition (“symbolic capital”) appears as both the fundamental existential goal through which human agents strive to confer meaning on their lives and the source of the endless symbolic competition that keeps society moving. The agonistic vision of the social universe that grounds his sociological studies returns in his philosophical anthropology under the guise of a singular synthesis between Durkheim's thesis that “Society is God” and Sartre's idea that “hell is other people”.     

高等教育组织与高深知识的环境:学术场域——读皮埃尔·布尔迪厄的《科学的社会用途》

基于《科学的社会用途》介绍布尔迪厄的科学场域(学术场域)理论,探讨高等教育组织与高深知识的环境——学术场域的特点。认为布尔迪厄的学术场域理论对高等教育组织与高深知识的运作机制及特征具有较强的解释力和认识意义。     

象征资本的运作及其不正当收益

在布迪厄社会学理论中,不同于以往主客二分的世界观,象征资本是在由“场域”和“惯习”构成的二重性世界里运作,这种运作具有表征性、隐蔽性和误识性。在高等教育场域中,象征资本被批量化生产,技术专家被赋予尊贵学术头衔的同时也享有了在科学领域内隐形的象征权力。中国科学场域存在的问题,使象征资本在运作和转化时,通过符号暴力机制,在资源分配和象征资本再生产过程中出现不正当收益。     

布迪厄资本理论视域下的彝族毕摩

法国社会学家布迪厄的资本理论在彝族毕摩研究中具有重要的方法论意义.在彝族社会,毕摩具有自身独特的资本.毕摩的生存心态构成了毕摩资本的本质意涵,毕摩的传承和教育体现了毕摩资本的生成机制,而现实生活中的利益交换和竞争则反映了毕摩资本的运作逻辑.     

论文化资本对农村义务教育均衡发展的影响——布迪厄文化资本理论的启示

乡土文化是农村义务教育得以均衡发展的文化资本。以"城市阶层为主导"的教育话语、"主流文化为主导"的课程资源及"学历至上为主导"的身份认同等义务教育文化资本,造成了农村义务教育发展过程中相对窄化的教育理念、匮乏的课程内容和片面的评价体系,在一定程度上阻碍了农村义务教育均衡发展的实现。因此,在注重农村义务教育的基础性、全面性和发展性的基础之上,重塑农村义务教育的农村性,树立面向农村人"生活世界"的义务教育均衡发展理念,发掘农村潜藏的地方课程教育因素,构建符合农村义务教育需求的发展性教育评价体系,走一条符合农村自身的文化资本重建之路,是农村义务教育实现均衡发展的必然选择。     

Building on Bourdieu: A sociological grasp of public relations

Bourdieu sees actors as struggling and competing to position themselves in so-called fields with the help of different forms of symbolic and material resources (capital). Here it is argued that public relations assist organizations in struggle for such positions, and a typology of different resource types is developed. By extending the sociology of Bourdieu to analyze public relations a more realistic perspective of the practice can be achieved.     

Bourdieu,Technique And Technology

This paper examines the place of technology in Pierre Bourdieu's social theory, and argues for the relevance of Bourdieu's thought to the study of technology. In moving from an examination of the status of technology in Bourdieu's work through to his broad approach to social practice and his widely cited concept of habitus, it is argued that technologies are crystalliz­ations of socially organized action. As such, they should be considered not as exceptional or special phenomena in a social theory, but rather as very much like other kinds of social practices that recur over time. Ultimately, through the use of Bourdieu's concepts of habitus, field, and capital, we are able to overcome the binary divisions such as technology/society and subject/object that have plagued technology studies.     

“实践感”与理解个体行动——对布迪厄实践理论的分析

布迪厄在把握＂实践感＂的运作逻辑时,运用新创制的社会学分析概念和分析单位,不仅帮助布迪厄从全新的角度展现了实践的模糊的、总体的、不确定的特征,也使他能够通过＂构建某种类似于主题的东西＂,把握住＂实践感＂,从而为我们理解日常生活中的行动者及其行动开辟了一条崭新的思路。
