Pierre Bourdieu Libros

El discurso no es sólo un mensaje destinado a ser descifrado, es también un producto que ponemos a disposición de los demás y cuyo valor se define en relación con otros productos, ya sean excepcionales o comunes. El efecto del mercado lingüístico, que se materializa en la timidez o el pánico escénico al hablar en público, se manifiesta en los intercambios más nimios de la vida cotidiana: valga como ejemplo los cambios de lengua que, en situaciones de bilingüismo, sin siquiera pensarlo, los locutores operan en función de las características sociales de su interlocutor. Además de instrumento de comunicación, la lengua es también un signo externo de riqueza y un instrumento de poder. La ciencia social debe intentar justificar lo que, bien pensado, no deja de ser un acto de magia: se puede actuar con palabras, órdenes o consignas. ¿La fuerza que despliegan las palabras procede de las propias palabras o de sus portavoces? Así pues, nos enfrentamos a lo que los escolásticos denominaban el misterio del ministerio, milagro de la transustanciación que reviste a la palabra del portavoz de una fuerza superior, que le otorga el grupo en el que la ejerce. Al pensar el lenguaje desde otro punto de vista, podemos abordar el campo por excelencia del poder simbólico, el de la política, lugar de la previsión como predicción que pretende producir su propia realización. Y comprender, en su economía específica, el debate regionalista o nacionalista, aparentemente alejado de la racionalidad económica. Pero también podemos desvelar la intención reprimida de algunos textos filosóficos, cuyo rigor aparente no es más que el rastro visible de la censura, especialmente rigurosa, del mercado al que están destinados.

"On Television" exposes the invisible mechanisms of manipulation and censorship that determine what appears on the small screen. Bourdieu shows how the ratings game has transformed journalism -- and hence politics -- and even such seemingly removed fields as law, science, art, and philosophy. Bourdieu had long been concerned with the role of television in cultural and political life when he bypassed the political and commercial control of the television networks and addressed his country's viewers from the television station of the College de France. "On Television," which expands on that lecture, not only describes the limiting and distorting effect of television on journalism and the world of ideas, but offers the blueprint for a counterattack.

What is a 'symbolic revolution'? What happens when a symbolic revolutions occurs, how can it succeed and prevail and why is it so difficult to understand? Using the exemplary case of Edouard Manet, Pierre Bourdieu began to ponder these questions as early as the 1980s, before making it the focus of his lectures in his last years at the College de France. This volume of Bourdieu's previously unpublished lectures provides his most sustained contribution to the sociology of art and the analysis of cultural fields. It is also a major contribution to our understanding of impressionism and the works of Manet. Bourdieu treats the paintings of Manet as so many challenges to the conservative academicism of the pompier painters, the populism of the Realists, the commercial eclecticism of genre painting, and even the 'Impressionists', showing that such a revolution is inseparable from the conditions that allow fields of cultural production to emerge. At a time when the Academy was in crisis and when the increase in the number of painters challenged the role of the state in defining artistic value, the break that Manet inaugurated revolutionised the aesthetic order.0
