A CULTURAL STUDIES SPECIAL ISSUE
"THE IMPACT OF BOURDIEU ON CULTURAL STUDIES" Editors:  Cynthia A. Patton &
Mary S. Pileggi
Pierre Bourdieu has been a critical, sometimes controversial figure in the
French debates about the nature and study of social life.  Bourdieu first
came to English speaking audiences through the humanities and, in cultural
studies in particular, by way of the Birmingham School's early work on
style and youth culture.  Although his work has only in the past decade
become widely known in America, it has nonetheless been influential within
sociology, cultural studies, literary studies, and. The journal, Cultural
Studies, will devote a special double issue to Pierre Bourdieu, focusing
on the impact of his work on the field of American cultural studies.
Original essays addressing but not limited to the following topics are
especially welcome:
Investigations using research strategies informed by Bourdieu's work;
Comparison of dominant theories or ideas in cultural studies and
Bourdieu's work; Explorations of the tensions, commonalities, problems,
and complexities of theoretical aspects of his work; Bourdieu's reception
by the American academy; Use of Bourdieu's work as applied to contemporary
social problems; Case studies that exemplify how Bourdieu has influenced
various disciplines (media studies, business, religion, self-help, and so
forth).
Papers should not exceed 35 pages.  The deadline for submissions is March
15, 2002.  Papers should be in English. One hardcopy and one electronic
copy should be submitted to Mary S. Pileggi, P.O. Box 863, Inverness, CA
94937.  mpileggi-AT-earthlink.net or to Cynthia A. Patton
