Twopence to Cross the Mersey
War and Progress
Author: Peter Dewey
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317900146
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 396
Book Description
This is an account of how the daily lives of ordinary peoples were changed, profoundly and permanently, by these three momentous decades 1914-1945. Often depicted in negative terms Peter Dewey finds a much more positive pattern in the wealth of evidence he lays before us. His is a story of economic achievement, and the emergence of a new sense of social community in the nation, rather than a saga of disenchantment and decline.

Pierre Bourdieu and Cultural Theory
Author: Bridget Fowler
Publisher: SAGE
ISBN: 1446234177
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
This is the first comprehensive description of Pierre Bourdieu′s theory of culture and habitus. Within the wider intellectual context of Bourdieu′s work, this book provides a systematic reading of his assessment of the role of `cultural capital′ in the production and consumption of symbolic goods. Bridget Fowler outlines the key critical debates that inform Bourdieu′s work. She introduces his recent treatment of the rules of art, explains the importance of his concept of capital - economic and social, symbolic and cultural - and defines such key terms as habitus, practice and strategy, legitimate culture, popular art and distinction. The book focuses particularly on Bourdieu′s account of the nature of capitalist modernity, on the emergence of bohemia and, with the growth of the market, the invention of the artist as the main historical response to the changed place of art.
