Locating Bourdieu (New Anthropologies of Europe)

Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) had an enormous influence on social and cultural thought in the second half of the 20th century, leaving a mark on fields as diverse as sociology, anthropology, critical theory, education, literary criticism, art history and media studies. This text offers fresh insights on Bourdieu's work.

First sentence: For Bourdieu, people did not live their lives according to freely made choices or strategies but, rather, under the constraints of the habitus and the objective conditions of social fields.
