The book provides both factual insights and theoretical underpinnings that help readers understand the country's t…
Public Sociology
Pour une récupération critique de Bourdieu
Traduction par Sébastien Antoine, Cécile Piret et François Rinschbergh de l’article de Michael Burawoy, « Making sense of Bourdieu » initialement paru dans la revue Catalyst, vol. 2, n° 1, Spring 2018. Traduit et publié avec l’aimable autorisation de l’éditeur de la revue
Living Sociology
Living sociology refers to the life of sociology, seen as a field of competing scientific research programs. The dynamism of each program requires, on the one hand, engaging internal contradictions and external anomalies and, on the other hand, extended dialogue among the programs themselves. Living sociology also refers to the life of sociologists as they participate in the society they study. My understanding of these two dimensions of reflexiv…

Conversations with Bourdieu
Pierre Bourdieu (1930-2002) is the most influential sociologist of our time. His works take in education, culture, sport, literature, painting, class, philosophy, religion, law, media, intellectuals, methodology, photography, universities, colonialism, kinship, schooling and politics. Not much remains outside Bourdieu's sociological eye. His works are widely read across disciplines and he was one of the most prominent public intellectuals in Fran…

Extended Case Method
For Public Sociology
For Public Sociology
In its beginning sociology aspired to be such an angel of history, searching for order in the broken fragments of modernity, seeking to salvage the promise of progress. The 2004 ASA annual meetings, devoted to the theme of public sociologies, broke all records for attendance and participation and did so by a considerable margin. This chapter presents eleven theses related to public sociology. It begins with the reasons for the appeal of public so…
Global ethnography
In this follow-up to the highly successful Ethnography Unbound, Michael Burawoy and nine colleagues break the bounds of conventional sociology, to explore the mutual shaping of local struggles and global forces. In contrast to the lofty debates between radical theorists, these nine studies excavate the dynamics and histories of globalization by extending out from the concrete, everyday world. The authors were participant observers in diverse stru…

Ethnography Unbound
In this powerful volume, ten original ethnographies explore two important issues: the ways in which people confront the threats and disruptions of contemporary life, and the ways in which researchers can most effectively study the modern metropolis. With its twofold agenda, the volume emerges as a multi-layered dialogue between researcher and researched, participant and observer, educator and educated. These essays, produced in a refreshing colla…
