Les universitaires trumpistes: Entretien avec David SWARTZ, par Niilo Kauppi
Dans cet entretien réalisé par Niilo Kauppi, le sociologue David Swartz présente son ouvrage The Academic Trumpists (2025), consacré aux intellectuels américains soutenant Donald Trump. Il retrace l’origine de sa recherche, initiée après l’élection de 2016, et décrit un groupe d’universitaires souvent spécialisés en droit, histoire ou science politique et ayant réussi à compenser une reconnaissance scientifique relativement faible par des positio…
Trump divide among American conservative professors
framework to show how these two groups of professors (Trumpists and anti-Trumpists) differ in where they teach, their intellectual orientations, their scholarly productivity, where they network with think tanks, scholarly professional associations, and government agencies, and their stances on key issues surrounding the Trump presidency. The academic Trumpists embrace the right-wing populist wave mobilized by Trump and the conservative academic c…
From Paris to Boston: A Trajectory with Pierre Bourdieu
The author analyzes his contribution in introducing Bourdieu to the Anglophone world (and to the US in particular). By doing so, he presents the reader with an abundance of anecdotes designed to illustrate observations regarding intellectual autonomy, symbolic capitals, and the international circulation of sociological ideas. Self-analysis is viewed as a straightforward and blunt version of other standard, more euphemized, academic practices (lik…

Max Weber's Theory of Modernity: The Endless Pursuit of Meaning
Global Bourdieu
Pierre Bourdieu was a prolific scholar whose multifaceted work inspired research in a wide variety of areas. Beyond sociology we find his influence in anthropology, history, cultural studies, political science, and international relations. Particularly after 1995, when he engaged in a fight against neo-liberalism, he became the pre-eminent public intellectual. Bourdieu clearly stands in the pantheon of the greatest contemporary social scientists.…

Symbolic Power, Politics, and Intellectuals: The Political Sociology of Pierre Bourdieu
Power is the central organizing principle of all social life, from culture and education to stratification and taste. And there is no more prominent name in the analysis of power than that of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Throughout his career, Bourdieu challenged the community held view that symbolic power - the power to dominate - is soley symbolic. He emphasized that symbolic power helps create and maintain social hierarchies, which form the ve…
Bourdieu on Religion: Imposing Faith and Legitimacy
Until recently Pierre Bourdieu has been known in the United States as a sociologist of culture, education, stratification, and social theory—not a sociologist of religion. But, as Erwan Dianteil and others have pointed out, Bourdieu drew extensively on the sociological classics of religion (particularly Weber, Durkheim, and Mauss) to develop his sociological framework. Though Bourdieu himself devoted little of his tremendous sociological output t…

Indeed, it is the 1985 article by Rogers Brubaker that can truly be said to have served as one of the best introductions to Bourdieu’s thought for the American social scienti?c public. It is for this reason that we include it in the present collection. Intellectual origins & orientations We begin by providing an overview of Bourdie…

The Sociology of Habit: The Perspective of Pierre Bourdieu
The work of French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu has stimulated new interest in habituated forms of conduct. His concept of habitus has become a leading reference in the growing sociological literature on theories of human action as practices. This article presents Bourdieu's concept of habitus by calling attention to its intellectual context and identifying the features that relate to the sociology of habit. The article identifies common character…

Bridging the Study of Culture and Religion: Pierre Bourdieu's Political Economy of Symbolic Power
This essay examines key features of Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of culture in light of their potential contribution to the sociology of religion. For Bourdieu, religion can be analyzed as a system of symbolic power with properties analogous to other cultural domains, such as art, philosophy, science, or consumer fashion. Bourdieu's approach to culture develops a political economy of symbolic practices that includes a theory of symbolic interests,…
